TRASHSTORM - EPISODE III
NIGHTMARE DRIVING ON THE TRASH GAME ROAD

Time to crack laughs with bad games.

Looks like when is not Breakthrough Gaming, other trash developers take the challenge or even its place on being much worse.
That's right kiddies. We're now submerging in the depths of mediocrity, taking a dive on the abyss that separates "Shovelware" from "Absolute Shit".
This is Driverio for the PlayStations 4 and 5.

ATV racing on its WORST.

Have you always wondered "Where on Earth is ATV driving complete horseshit?" Is anywhere Driverio is being played. This "game" should belong to the cellphone stores rather than the PlayStation store since is as pointless and is below the minimal standards or requirements to be considered a console game.

The whole objective of this fucking thing is to get 500 points via mindless driving. And boy, this poorman's version of Road Fighter and Sega's Monaco GP sucks on that 'cos the main thing to drive your ATV is fucked up right at the start. When the ATV keeps moving after letting the Analog Stick go that implies one thing: Slippery controls and that's gonna happen most of the time and you'll end up hitting the wall more often than Kyle Busch in a NASCAR season and subsequentially hitting something infront of you and finally die and lose the game. That's ironic, hitting the wall doesn't kill you, but the frontal obstacle does it. Also, as your score increases, it does the scrolling speed, requiring an extremely precise mastering of the slippery controls which will sooner or later will end up crashing your doomed ATV and ending the gameplay. But at least you'll be getting the 500 points needed to obtain all the trophies this turd has to offer.

Graphically, it looks like a cheap flash game, the sort of 1 minute done type of flash game that you'll find on Newgrounds. The street remains the same all the time, no desert trails or forest paths, just this boring, repetitive asphalt track with crates, signs and tires scattered randomly waiting to slam your poor ATV driver out of existence. At least the game developer bothered on "animate" the wheels of the ATV giving the impression that the damn thing is rolling on the road. The music is not just horrendous, but unfitting to the concept of ATV driving. That crappy cartoon "dumb moment" theme is the second place of "Unfitting and inappropiate soundtrack", just below Fisher-Price Firehouse Rescue and its circus theme bullshit.

Shizuka's face sums up the whole thing.

In the end, we have a sorry excuse of "I want to be like Road Fighter" that fails miserably in all the possible aspects your mind can imagine: Challenge, fun and controls, but in terms of a "racing game" it is a far superior product than, let's say, Breakthrough Gaming's Racing. AND SAYING THAT IS "EXTREME GENEROSITY".

Just save your dollar for something else and better than this game.
