Okay, here goes —
You know that feeling when you’re just randomly browsing, and suddenly—bam!—something catches your eye? Yeah, that’s what happened with me and the PS Store’s sale. There’s always some wild deals, like on this game, Rollerdrome. Came out in 2022, ringing any bells? Everyone seemed to be buzzing about its radical, arcade-like vibes.
Speaking of which, oh man, Rollerdrome’s dirt cheap right now. I mean, it’s like they’re practically giving it away for $7.49. Normally, it’s 30 bucks! So, if you’re itching to try out this intense PS4/PS5 action ride, you might wanna jump on it before—what’s the date?—August 14, at some ungodly hour like 2:59 a.m. ET. Why so precise? Beats me.
Anyway, flash forward to this dystopian 2030 setting. Corporations running the show, people glued to chaos on screen. Sounds familiar, right? Enter Rollerdrome, this crazy arena sport that’s all about the thrills and spills. Can you survive the roller madness and untangle whatever shady stuff that Matterhorn corporation’s hiding? Sounds like a wild ride.
When it rolled out (pun intended) back in 2022, folks seemed to dig it. Metacritic’s got it sitting at a pretty solid 79, after 49 reviewers weighed in. Our pals over at ComingSoon.net gave it like a 7.5 out of 10. Decent, huh?
But yeah, what about the gameplay? Apparently, it doesn’t always hit the bullseye but still manages to pack enough style. Imagine pulling off crazy spins and slow-mo shots—a real adrenaline rush once you get the hang of it. Probably meditative, in a way.
Oh, and awards! Let’s not forget those. During the 2022 awards season, it grabbed some nominations and even scored a win. Golden Joysticks shouted it out for Best Indie Game. Plus, it snagged the Best British Game at the 2023 BAFTAs. Not too shabby, eh?
And here I am, pondering why I never made time for it. Maybe now’s the moment? Or maybe I’m just rambling. Anyway, don’t miss out.
