Screamer

« Well worth a look if you fancy trying a different looking and feeling race game. »

« A solid story mode combined with tight racing mechanics make Screamer the potential racing game of the year. »

« Milestone has once again demonstrated its mastery of the genre. While the public's attention may be elsewhere at the moment, this experience shouldn't be overlooked. Screamer has become one of my favorite games of the year, and something that will surely be fondly remembered in the future. »

« Milestone has done it. The Milan-based team decided to take a risk, stepping out of their comfort zone of motorcycle simulations to return to their roots with a *Screamer* reboot—a title that establishes itself as one of the most distinctive, entertaining, and engaging racing games on the market. The driving system—though occasionally a tad clunky—is a sheer delight of speed, technique, and drifting; the narrative compels you to tackle every race at full throttle; and the characters form a cast it is impossible not to grow fond of. It lacks only that extra aesthetic flair to truly stand out amidst the endless array of cyberpunk worlds released in recent years; yet, the technical solidity—combined with the meticulous aesthetic polish applied to the UI, the cars (some of which are truly stunning), and the characters—still manages to make Milestone’s work shine, even in this regard. *Screamer* is the racing game that both the market and the players have been waiting for. »

« Among the many great arcade racers out there, Screamer sets itself apart with its TV-worthy campaign, The Tournament, which highlights its roster of compelling characters across a tour of a futuristic urban setting. For those who just want the racing, its Arcade modes offer more than enough challenge with unique driving controls that really make you feel like you’re behind the wheel. »

« Streamer ventures into a territory many games haven't explored in a while—the realm of arcade racing—through an experience that uses its solid storyline as a Trojan horse to deliver an engaging and surprisingly deep driving system, accompanied by attack and defense mechanics that may not be immediately intuitive but are a lot of fun. »

« Screamer is a one-of-a-kind game, I thought they don’t make racing games like this anymore. And here we are. »

« Screamer is an extremely pleasant surprise in a genre that currently receives few releases. The gameplay is complex, but the game is entirely dedicated to gradually introducing the player to its mechanics and its world. Fans of arcade-style racing should give the title a chance, not only because of the few releases in the genre, but because it's a great game. »

« Great arcade car game with actual mechanics, the story takes around 17 to 20 hours to complete. With crossplay addiction, 4 players co-op a fews different single player mode to play this is a great game »

« Screamer is a bold entry in the genre that refuses to rely on familiar formulas. Instead, the game combines classic arcade elements with tactical depth, unusual controls, and surprisingly strong presentation for a racing game. Not all decisions will appeal to the masses – the controls, in particular, demand patience and adaptation. But therein lies the appeal: Screamer challenges its players and, in return, offers a fresh, unique driving experience. Milestone has achieved more than just a successful revival. It's a confident reinvention that demonstrates just how much innovative potential even an established genre still holds. »

« First of all it is very good game, I LOVE when racing games have actually complex and interesting story mode, I loved the story by itself, I really liked characters, and voice acting is supreme, and music is excellent, but there are BUTS, It can be really frustrating, like mario karts level frustrating, you will scream, rage and try to eat your joystick, some missions are absurdly hard, you have to race again and again on the same track to understand it just so you have a chance of completing the missions PLUS controls can be and are sometimes unresponsive and I would describe that as a big issue especially in arcade racing game. But if you are like me and you like Motostrorms, Sonic racing and stuff, you will love it, just buy it and enjoy and sometimes suffer, but it is worth it »

« Screamer es uno de los arcades de conducción más interesantes de los últimos años en cuanto a diseño mecánico. El drift con doble stick tiene una curva de aprendizaje exigente, pero cuando hace clic es profundamente satisfactorio y distinto a todo lo que se está haciendo en el género. El sistema ECHO (Boost/Strike/Shield) añade una capa táctica real: cada carrera es una gestión constante de recursos y agresión, y la IA rival está muy bien calibrada, con carreras fluidas y competidas de principio a fin.Estéticamente cumple. El estilo anime/cyberpunk está bien ejecutado aunque no llega a ser rompedor, y la banda sonora electrónica tiene algunos temas que destacan sobre una base generalmente correcta. El problema llega con el Torneo: los personajes son planos o directamente molestos, y los diálogos acaban estorbando más que aportando a una narrativa que pretende ser el gran anzuelo del modo **** que más me ha pesado son los problemas técnicos. Jugando en PC con una RTX 5080, el rendimiento ha sido notablemente irregular, algo difícil de justificar en un título de Milestone sobre Unreal Engine 5 a estas alturas. Sumado a un contenido que se queda corto para los 60€ de salida, el paquete no termina de **** mejor: sistema de conducción único, combate en pista con profundidad, estética coherente, banda **** peor: rendimiento técnico irregular, personajes e historia flojos, precio alto para el contenido ofrecido.Veredicto: un arcade valiente y con ideas frescas que merece ser jugado, pero mejor esperar a parches de optimización y a una rebaja. A 30-40€ y con el rendimiento pulido sería un 8 claro. »

« weird gameplay, very frustrating. Story is too long with boring dialogues. Story is not good. Game is **** hardcore. »

« The gameplay is boring,the character designs are so niche and the content is mid just another over hyped game that will be forgotten about. »

« Screamer offers a great arcade experience that balances slightly complex controls and a fun and smooth octane gameplay. Alongside, a 3D anime-inspired artstyle, a deeply interesting story that starts slow at first but picks up the pace later on (few episodes can feel like filler), and great characters. Screamer also features few racing modes with the ability to modify them, large amount of tracks, a basic vehicle customization with different sets for each vehicle, collectibles, and online racing. Aside from some minor issues, and a price tag of $59.99 (which can be considered expensive based on the amount of content you get), Screamer is worth your while if you love arcade racing games. »

« Un excellent jeu arcade, avec des graphismes sublimes et un gameplay ultra plaisant et dynamique. Une histoire soignée. Un jeu comme on n’en fait plus. Merci Milestone !!! »
