GAME OF THE MONTH
Retrowave
Looking like a playable version of a Kavinsky album cover, Retrowaveis a modestly sized PC game that sees you blasting along a series of endless highways in a neon-lit Eighties vision of the future. This is probably what Robocop’s commute looks like. Your goal is simple, carve your way through traffic for as long as you can before you accidentally stuff your crisp, white Faux-rari F40 into the back of another car. It’s a weirdly soothing experience and accompanied by a soundtrack of appropriately understated synthwave beats. There’s even a VHS filter to recreate the experience of squinting at your video games on a blurry 19-inch Trinitron. There’s not loads here, but it costs a mere three quid, which is considerably less than a pint these days. Unlike the Eighties, when it was a full round of drinks, a packet of dry roasted peanuts and one go on the OutRunarcade machine.
