GAME OF THE MONTH
Le Mans Ultimate
is out now for PC! Except it isn’t. Well not really. This is an ‘early access’ version, which essentially means that the game isn’t is fundamentally an engaging racing game. Taking the rocket science sim underpinnings rFactor 2, plugs in cars and tracks that would make a motorsport nerd’s glasses instantly steam up. The handling model is engaging enough that it’s a treat just to turn laps and run races, which is convenient, because that’s pretty much all you can do currently. There’s no career or even championship mode. The game is also riddled with more bugs than the insect house at London Zoo. Is it worth £25 in its current state? We’d argue yes. And hopefully the developers will wheel out the videogame bug equivalent of a giant can of Raid and you’ll have snagged a fully featured racing sim for a bargain price.
