This week our Modern Gamer does some seriously cute cart racing in Pinchcliffe Grand Prix, which is known as Flaklypa in its native Norway. If you are Norwegian, the game is probably nostalgic, but anyone can enjoy the amusing mini-games and racing action.

Downhill bike racing, snowboarding, wingsuit racing, skiing and pulling off epic tricks are just some of the extreme sports thrills you will experience in Riders Republic. While the realism might be a little bit off, the fun is really jacked high.
Demoniaca Everlasting Night is a game that tries to marry together two different genres, Metroidvanias and beat-em-ups, to varying levels of success. When Demonica is working well, it’s almost epic. But when it falters, it falls down hard.
