F1 2020

PC Gamer US Edition|August 2020

Take your own Formula 1 team to victory

- Andy Kelly

We awarded F1 2019 an impressive 91 percent in our review last year. Codemasters elevated its racing series with the inclusion of F2 racing, and a fun, story-driven career mode. Not much changed in terms of visuals or handling, but the package was a big improvement over previous entries in the series—and the next game is taking things further.

Now you can play through a whole ten-year career across multiple seasons, starting in F2 and working your way up to F1. But the big difference this time is being able to make your own team by creating a driver, hiring a teammate, choosing a sponsor, building facilities, and even selecting your engine supplier. This is probably the most dramatic overhaul of the game’s career mode to date, taking the series into deeper role-playing territory.

Special Report- Stacked Deck - Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big.

Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big. Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
