Confounds your expectations to create a racing game as much about finesse as destroying buildings.

It’s not perfect, and it doesn’t even really feel like a Ridge Racer game, but Unbounded is one of the best arcade racers in years. It’s nice to see that publishers aren’t completely abandoning the genre, and with some luck, others will follow BugBear’s lead and continue to evolve long running franchises in meaningful ways.
