GRID Legends

Burn rubber in this expansive racer.

What kind of motor racing do you fancy today? Want to drift in the snow in the mountains of Japan, push an electric car to its limit on the night-time streets of Barcelona or race the clock driving trucks around the UK’s Brands Hatch circuit? GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition offers all of this and more.

What we love: At the heart of GRID Legends are the multiple story campaigns, which take us through a curated selection of racing styles and events bookended by live action cutscenes. The game offers five narratives to play through including Driven to Glory, a storyline where you play as Driver 22 and attempt to take on the GRID World Series as part of the Seneca Racing team.

Rain or shine, GRID Legends Deluxe is a fantastic looking racing game.

Quick tip: Experiment with different control options to find what works best for you. There’s a choice of onscreen buttons or a virtual joystick for steering, or you can go down the motion-controlled route with tilt controls. The game also supports external controllers if you’d prefer to play with physical buttons and joysticks.

Meet the developer: Feral Interactive is the developer behind a range of blockbuster mobile titles including Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal, ROME: Total War and Alien: Isolation. The studio was founded way back in 1996 when it was originally focused on bringing games to Mac.
