WHAT WE’RE PLAYING
The Best New Games This Week
Looking for something fresh to play? Here are a few of our faves.
‣ Ready...set...skid! Zoom through dense cityscapes, desert oases, and icy wonderlands in KartRider: Drift. Pick a character (we love the edgy French hacker, Sophia) and customize your sweet ride right down to the license plate. Be careful when you tap the drift button—remember to counter-steer after you take a tight turn!
‣ It takes quick reflexes to rack up points in the stylish arcade blaster Wavecade. Blast falling blocks, rockets, and other hazards while you climb this retro shooter’s leaderboards. Looking for a leg up? Try the clone ability to increase your firepower with sweet synchronicity.
‣ Cruising through Static Shift Racing’s gorgeous open world is great fun, but our favorite detail is just how much you can mod your ride. Dig into a deep catalog of rims, bumpers, side skirts, and spoilers to build a vehicle that suits your style—and leaves the competition in the dust.
