Pitched as “a racing game for people who don’t like racing games,“Resistorshows an immediate disinterest in tracks, time trials, or even really the cars themselves.Thisracing game, I’m told as I sit down to play a demo in theEGX 2023’sRezzed Zone, cares about the person behind the wheel – and their burgeoning camaraderie with a roughneck pit crew.

Feels before wheels? Maybe in the full game, which will supposedly feature a lot of time spent mooching around your current home – a dilapidated, oil rig-esque metal tower in the middle of the desert, a haven for those who don’t get to ride out the post-disaster world in a cushy city – and making face time with crew members and acquaintances. Eventually, I’m told, this can eventually result in aMass Effect-style squad of BFFs, minus the alien boinking. Presumably.
Sadly, I didn’t get to see thisRPGdynamic in the demo, which called curtains almost immediately after I took my first steps on the rig. Primarily, I was there to drive, and drive hard.
