Retro 90’s Racer Inertial Drift arrives August 9th

When I saw the trailer for Kemono Heroes, and once I saw the publisher, I knew this was the next game I’d want to review.

When Ghostbusters: The Video Game was announced, the game garnered a considerable amount of ambition but had a higher degree of skepticism put against it. At the time, it was decreed that video games based on licensed properties were of extremely average to criminally terrible quality, some reaching and falling below bedrock expectations.
