Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks is a forthcoming car combat game in the vein of Twisted Metal. I don't have a ton of experience with the genre, and there's really not many games that fill that niche these days, so I was excited to give this game's free Alpha Test a try.

It's fun. Driving a car with a machine gun mounted on it and shooting rockets at other people is just an inherently enjoyable concept. It works well here. I've only played a few matches, and I'm not very good, but I managed to get a few kills and help my team capture the objectives. It's really simple and doesn't have much content right now, but the formula is there for a nice game. I'm not sure if this one is going to be permanently free with a live service model, but it would definitely benefit from a large userbase.

Controls feel good, but enemies are a little spongy. It's possible I'm just bad. I'll be keeping an eye on this one going forward.
