Today marks the first of a new series of Gravel Notes podcasts devoted to rally video games.
Over the next few weeks and months we will be taking in depth look at some of the classic titles that brought rallying into our homes, that inevitably started an addiction to rally gaming, and also the new wave of rally games out there now grabbing our attention.
To kick off this series I’m joined by expert gaming journalist Thomas Harrison-Lord from the excellent team at Traxion.gg to discuss a new rally game that has sneaked under the radar and has turned out to be an absolute gem.
Early this year Super Woden Rally Edge, developed by indie creator ViJuDA, was launched on PC at a cost of only 11 pounds and has quickly gained high praise. This top down arcade racer is a real a love letter to rallying featuring cars that portray the spectrum of the WRC’s classic machinery and some excellent classic rally environments to drive them through against the clock. It’s one if those games that on the face of is quite simple, its not a ultra realistic simulation, but incredibly addictive with its career gameplay.
