Car Quest

I originally got Car Quest for a few cents alongside a few other massively-discounted Switch titles just for the fun of trying them all out with a friend. This game was the only one we played for more than five minutes that day. Maybe it was the smooth gameplay, the nostalgic PS2 vibes, or the addictive simplicity of the objectives, but I was hooked. With a backlog like mine, I normally don't give non-mainstream indie games a second thought, so this title   is definitely something special in my eyes. Car Quest  feels a lot like a PS2 -era 3d platformer if your player character was a little car rather than a costumed anthropomorphic animal. The structure is somewhat similar to that of Super Mario 64  or Banjo-Kazooie , where you travel from a small-but-expanding overworld to unique self-contained levels where the bulk of the game takes place. However, Car Quest  forgoes the standard of scattering enemies throughout the levels in order to keep the players' focus on the puzzles.
