This Is Not A Review: Project Cars 2

I know. I know. Project CARS 2 came out in September of last year. What little dust Slightly Mad’s racing sim sequel kicked up has settled, and the rest of the game-playing world has moved on to bigger and better things. Monster Hunter World or Shadow of the Colossus, anyone? But Project CARS 2 has haunted me.

This Is Not A Review: Lightfield

I’m not sure what Lightfield is. At first glance, it’s an attractive-looking futuristic racer with ships that look vaguely like exotic fish zooming through someone abstract environments, leaving trails of light behind them. It’s a little bit Tron, a little bit wiped out, and a little bit just plain beautiful. Once actually playing the game? That’s when the confusion sets in.
