So the idea is great. You are a brain in a jar...located in this super garage and you control these cool weaponised cars remotely. The problem I had with the game is....i was finishing the mission and as I finished it...the game crashed. Erasing my progress. I checked the reviews and it seems like a common problem. So the idea is cool....you pause the game to input the controls to your vehicles...unpause....you get...

This would be an okay game but it is crashing all the time. "An Unreal process has crashed. UE4-DarkFuture..."
A real-time-strategy car combat game. You'd swear this wouldn't work but it's actually quite fun. Gameplay is fun and chaotic, enemies are suitably threatening without overwhelming you. What I enjoy most about this game is that you actually have direct control over your car - you don't have to use the slow-down-time-to-give-orders thing, you can just use WASD and the number keys.
