Chained Together is a really fun game to play with friends. Challenging in places but more so for the tears of laughter! - Don't need fancy graphics.. Just a solid game-play loop and a sense of humour!

89p.. So glad I got it on sale. Meh, gave us an hour of.. wtf was that!

I would recommend this game to other players, however since release the update cadence seems to have slowed down significantly. The latest update was combined with a paid DLC release which while adding some fun elements to the game, simply fails to do enough to ensure my attention past the initial first go of the new content. The rank wipe was however completely unexpected.

It's a good game, solid in places and provides a decent amount of fun. I got 60+ hours out of it in total. But it does lack some features that other titles have such as Turbo Sliders and raceLeague. Namely a track editor. As it takes the developers so long to release updates, adding a track editor to this title may just help its community save it.

Don't even bother... Just take Flatout 2, strip out all of the good bits, add a badly scripted, poorly animated storyline and sprinkle some RTX flash on the top, and you have 'Trail Out'.

Set piece after set piece with a little racing here and there. Actual car control feels particularly poor. Crash physics and destruction are good. There are a number of usable camera views too. Take out all of the needless bloat and you might have a semi-decent racing game on your hands.. But then you remember you have Flatout 2 and you just wasted £15.

I am all for remakes, but this is just a rebranded ripoff.

This is a perfect example of a game that doesn't have a clear development direction. It's a collection of game modes. All of them completely unfinished. My advice would be to take one of these clear 'concepts' and run with it till it's perfected, then move on to another, then another then another and so on.

Graphically.. impressive for sure. Motion, the vehicles move realistically... ish. Struggled to configure a controller.

But seriously, nice concept, or collection of concepts. But take some time, setup a discord server or something and get a bunch of players together, come up with a clear vision and work towards it and really make Autos into something worthy of more than 30 minutes of gameplay.

I recommend this game.

First thing to note is this is Early Access. It's rough. That's what Early Access is for, you get the opportunity to play the game early so you should be expecting bugs, or things not to work the way you think they should immediately. If you can't handle that or cannot accept that, stay away... For now.

Yes, the price is steep for an Early Access title, even with the current discount that is on offer. I was expecting around the £15 mark for this, but I see it as an investment in the future of the title, as with time and further development, this is going to be one of the go-to titles for the kind of racing experience it offers. Some racing simulators could take a leaf out of the RaceLeague book when it comes to Physics and Damage. Frankly some simulators have quite laughable damage modelling, but not RaceLeague.

The price is worth it probably for the track editor alone. It really shouldn't be called an editor.. Track creator is a much better description. It doesn't let you just edit tracks, it lets you create them, from scratch, piece by piece. To do that intuitively from within a game.. That alone is impressive. The rest is just window dressing on top.

Multiplayer, although at the moment light in terms of features and settings just works. Click Create a server, setup some details and it's just there in the list. Connection is quick. Track load times are average, but at least it tells you what it is loading (bottom left) and racing action is smooth. - Not a lot of games can say they can launch with multiplayer support that stable in Early Access.

Car choice.. at the moment there are 3 cars. A Porsche-esk car, a Formula Car and a RallyCross Car. More will be added during early access. But they all look, handle and damage differently. Three is plenty to be starting with. Tracks.. well with the track editor / creator, and the in-game track database, you could say that there isn't a limited number of tracks in the game. Or there won't be if people keep creating them. Some of these creations are simply fire by the way.

Physics.. I've been told by a close friend that the wheel support is actually spot on and it feels nice to drive with a wheel - For the type of game this is, that is great news. After some initial gamepad configuration issues, I can honestly say it feels nice to drive on a gamepad too. Twitchy but smooth if you are smooth with it!

Damage.. A star feature for me... Visual and Performance effecting, lose your front splitter and rear wings, bendable, snappable, fall-off-able car parts. Tyres & wheels can come off, are left where they parted company with the car as a hazard for others, car contact feels brilliant. I've had some very realistic-feeling crashes so far!

If you skip this title in Early Access, well that's up to you, but if you skip it completely or through early negative reviews, then you will be the one missing out. Give it a go and remember, everything started somewhere. Join the discord for friendly, supportive and helpful chat.

EDIT: Gamepad works fine for me, go to Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings and turn OFF anything you have set there. Make sure the Steering Smoothing is set to Gamepad. [Not my solution, but it worked for me].

See the potential and most of all, have fun with friends!

Only really briefly tried the game but so far I am impressed with the PC release of this game. Isometric Rally done right. The physics are good. A solid foundation from which to work. The car takes damage when you hit things - visible dents in the side panels etc.

You can even see the driver turning the wheel in the car and reaching for the shiftier when changing gear. It's an arcade experience with believable physics. There are a few game-modes at the moment... Time-trial, Championship Race and Multiplayer.. Though not many people playing online when I tried, it's good to see those options in the game.

I believe the stages are generated procedurally, which is a good thing that keeps the game fresh. Co-Driver commentary is in there too to help you navigate each stage and I believe the AI difficulty is dynamic, so as you progress, they progress. I can see potentially the loss of a good few hours to this game, it will be interesting to see how it develops!

Purchased this when on sale back in 2019. Played it with friends for a total of around 80 minutes. It was good fun, but that's all I ever got out of it. The game is now more than six years old... It's probably ok for it at this point to be suffering from reduced player numbers.

But that's probably not good enough reason to downvote the game. Games have a life-cycle, technology moves on. It is a good fun game, more fun with your friends, but there are now other titles which are just as good, if not better... Go try some of those.

Waited what seemed like a long time from discovering Heavenly Bodies for its release to happen. But it was worth the wait. The controls are just awkward enough to be challenging and with three levels of awkwardness to choose from I am sure there is more hours of entertainment than the 5 hours 20 minutes it took me to complete it.

I am a little disappointed at the number of levels in the game but it is a title made by a small team. I would like to see more levels added or perhaps additional campaigns. I haven't got to play the game in co-op mode as yet. As a purely single-player experience, it's well worth a shot.

Adding a friend pass could make co-op more popular. Music, sounds and physics are all spot on. Recommended purchase.

Generation Zero... What a game. If you like a slower paced game where the objective is to explore the world and take your time getting to the bottom of the mysteries of the storyline... If you like playing co-op with friends who like the same thing as you... If you like a loot shooter and leveling up your character... You're going to like Generation Zero.

A truely open-world feeling from a company very experienced in creating open worlds. This game has mystery, fear, adventure, exploration, development, a wide-branching storyline, real co-op play and mechs. If you can, go buy it and take your time exploring. It will be worth it.
