Heading Out is a wholly unique game that defies expectations. More narrative-driven adventure than vehicle-driven roguelike, expect a fascinating black-and-white style and progressive story beats but little else in the way of meaningful longevity.

Heading Out is a memorable journey that uses the freedom of driving to help discover your morality and nature. Pros - Immersive Setting. - Diverse And Unique Mechanics. - Amazing Visuals. - High Replay Value. Cons - Janky Driving Physics. - Rubber-Banding A.I. As someone who’s been religiously playing racing games since the PS2 era, I feel like the genre’s fundamentals have always stayed the same throughout.

I hadn’t heard anything about Heading Out before it landed in my lap for review, and I am so grateful it did. I absolutely loved the gritty, 70’s feel of the racing and multiple vehicles. And I already gushed over the awesome soundtrack and radio personalities, as a fan of the talk radio in the recent GTA games this felt right up there as far as production value, content, and laughs. Mix all those things together and you end up with one mesmerizing road trip, that fans of the genre will be glad they took.
