By

You spend the entirety of A Game About Digging a Hole, well, digging a hole. And though it may not sound the most exciting, it kept me entertained a couple hours. However, this game is definitely meant for those who enjoy slowly paced, repetitive simulators. If you’re looking for a challenge or adventure, you’re not going to find it here.

Rennsport Review (PS5) | Push Square

By

As long as Polyphony Digital continues to release and refine Gran Turismo titles, simulation racers will always have a hard time competing on a Sony console. With Rennsport, developer Competition Company is looking to separate itself from the leader of the pack by creating a cross-platform sim experience that’s geared heavily towards the eSports crowd. The driving is solid for the most part; steering feels responsive on a controller and there’s a satisfying weight difference between cars.
