Gravel
It warms my soul that Family Friendly
Gaming purchased a copy of Gravel on the Xbox One. It is a shame the
Marketing & PR people for this game failed us. Family Friendly Gaming
has taken a courageous stand against the swamp of corruption in the
video game industry that needs to be drained. That is bound to hurt us
with those alligators in the swamp trying to maintain their power.
Gravel can be purchased on the Personal Computer (PC), and Playstation 4
(PS4) on top of the Xbox One. There are physical copies of Gravel on the
PS4 and Xbox One. Steam is required for the PC version of Gravel.
Gravel has some loose controls. This can be used to your favor spinning
around all those U-turns. The loading time is long in Gravel.
Graphically Gravel looks amazing. I loved seeing the different places.
We race on the beach, through caves, in the mud and more. We level up
and unlock new vehicles in Gravel. This racing game can be challenging.
I played with the different difficulty settings in Gravel. This racing
game is designed more on the difficult side. I could win on the easiest
setting without a problem. I moved up one setting and would get first or
second. Going to a higher difficulty setting meant I lost - badly.
I found the music in Gravel to be obnoxious. It annoyed me to no end
while I raced this dirty racing game. The modes in Gravel are Off-Road
Masters, Free Race, Xbox Live, Time Attack, Weekly Challenges, and DLC.
I had some high expectations for Gravel. Sadly this muddy racing game
let me down. I like the tracks, and got used to the controls. Gravel
does not feel off road enough for me. It feels like a small Forza
Horizon clone that misses the mark thanks to no open world racing.
Gravel has some races outside and some inside. The outside races are
limited and we must go through specific check points. Expect a full
review of Gravel to appear in an upcoming issue of the always awesome
Family Friendly Gaming mag, and e-mag.
