GRIP: COMBAT RACING

Ascrappy, big-hearted homage to PlayStation favourite Rollcage, this ferocious racer has no pretensions to being anything other than a visually enhanced throwback. Grip’s chunky vehicles can flip without slowing down, and blast rivals out of contention – though you’ll often be on the receiving end thanks to a sharp learning curve. Noisy, rough-hewn and breathlessly fast, it’s oddly heartwarming in its single-minded approach, even if the old-school thrills wears thin. CS
