Clutch

"Mum can i get carmageddon?" "No sweetie we have carmageddon at home"

I played this for the first time in late 2026...I'd picked it up some years ago in a deal for a buck. It's not worth that even. It's not that it's a horrible game or such. It's just...meh. Completely forgettable. I spent about 30 minutes in in and it's just boring. Graphics/gameplay/etc...just...again...meh. There are more great games out there than you can ever have time to play. Don't waste your time on slightly subpar games like this. 3 months after you play this, you'll not remember ever having done so. For me, it's another backlog game that was disappointing enough to get removed from my library. I hate to not say something positive about the game...so...at least it has controller support that seems to work decent enough even though the store page isn't listing it. But it still doesn't make the game exciting.

Carmageddon from Temu

Racing and Reaping is what Bullitt would have been like if Steve McQueen had been stupid. This game wants to be Carmageddon so bad it can taste it. Not really worth it unless it's an extra pick just to fill out a "Get 5 games for $x" bundle (which is how I got it).

At the time it was released, one could say that Clutch ( also known as Armageddon Riders ) was a spiritual successor to the Carmageddon series, since they didn't make a new game for almost a decade. It's a combat racing game where you can run over zombies on the streets and destroy other cars as well. Despite being a combat racing game I found the story interesting - the protagonist gets a phone call from his employer whose car engine died and wants his help to get it back. Sounds simple, until he realizes that the citizens are now zombies and two groups of drivers have turned the whole city into a bloody arena. He decides to join in the fun and go on a driving rampage, but loses his sanity during the process. At some point he joins a religious group to find peace, but eventually feels betrayed, so he decides to put an end to it all with the help of a scientist in the collider ( some kind of lab ). I enjoyed the gameplay, but mostly prefer to play this game with a wheel. It is by no means a simulator but something with the handling on the controller feels off, so I decided to play with wheel ( got it set up with the help of X360ce ). Just like in most games with vehicular comb…

I haven't played this in 10 years...and forgot the name, was always curious what it was or when i could experience this again...
