Beveron – Review

I’ll always dig out a racing game to play as its my favourite genre to play but that does mean sometimes I’ll kiss a few frogs. Beveron is a PS4 game that feels like someone made an asset flip tutorial and then sold it for 79p. I picked it up for 39p and platinumed it in 7 minutes and during that time I was generally disgusted with what I’d bought.

This is the half way point in the game…

In this grey block/sheet metal world that reminded me a little of Art of Drift, we play as a car that needs to collect all the coins within the time limit in 15 levels. The coins usually are in a curve or a snake and so you need to drive sensibly to grab them all in one move. The car feels like its on shopping trolley wheels and like its steering on a central 5th wheel – its very inconsistent. Sometimes the car turns hard, sometimes it doesn’t at all. At all times the camera view gives you a false perspective of where you are at and sometimes you’ll drive by a coin you think you’ve hit. Worst of all, these 15 levels are about 20 seconds long maximum except for the final one. There is next to no skill required and I was shocked when I completed level 15 that game just stopped.

This is a game for the platinum collectors only and even then you’ll want a wash because you feel dirty playing it. I cannot recommend this game at all for any price, but if the developers are serious, best of luck with exploring drift racing in the future.

Final Thoughts
Avoid this cash grab asset tutorial like the plague.
Positives
Liminal spaces?!
Negatives
Odd camera and handling combine to make driving unsatisfying.
Less than 10 minutes of content.
Devoid of personality or a reason to play.
Feels like someone made a tutorial on dropping assets on a screen and then sold it.
