Scrap Riders 1.0

We reviewed the original incarnation of Scrap Riders before under its previous name of Outriders however now the developers are back with a much fuller early alpha release of the game and although the previous inception of the game was well received but not fantastically, this more in-depth version with a full intro really makes for a spectacular gaming experience, a combination of action and puzzle solving along with a low poly retro art style (even though the game is set in the future) makes for an immersive, entertaining, challenging and rewarding experience.

On occasion due to just how low poly the game is it can take a bit of adjusting to as it sometimes isn’t clear exactly what is going, however this art style works perfectly for the cut scenes and larger images.

It’s very hard not to become engrossed in Scrap Riders from the first minute you play it and the way the story unravels means you will be intrigued and amused throughout, the puzzle solving element is also expertly done and sometimes you can spend a lot of time in one location when the answer may be staring you in the face, but with enough exploration of locations and interrogation of NPC’s you always eventually find the other.

Although still not the complete finished game yet, this game has got better with each version we have played and means the finished game should be something fantastic.
