Add in voice lines, sprays, and taunts, you might forget you’re working on a snow traversal vehicle and not Blizzard’s favorite arctic scientist Mei. This class is dictated by each vehicle’s three special combat abilities that let it unleash all sorts of crazy stuff. The available rides, which include a satisfyingly varied sample of choices ranging from spy cars, to hovercraft, to tanks and more, each fit into an unofficial category of support, attack, or tank. Though the roster comes in at a modestly sized 12, each vehicle is unique, with a satisfying number of cosmetic customization options (which are even split into blue, purple, and yellow levels of rarity!). I know that you’re probably thinking I’m stretching things here- after all, class-based combat games are nothing new- but the similarities are far too uncanny to be anything short of completely intentional.
Of course the stars in a game like this are the vehicles, and it’s here that the game shines and most wears its Overwatch influence on its sleeve. Given the relatively timeless and straightforward concept of a top-down racers I thought new what to expect when I first booted up the game, but I was strangely surprised when what I got was Overwatch with cars. As it’s been doing for quite some time now, the Micro Machines video game franchise is continuing to scratch that home-brewed nostalgic itch with it’s latest game, Micro Machines World Series. I may have never spent time with real-world Micro Machines when I was a kid, but I did spend more hours that I can count in my basement making the most outlandish Hot Wheels tracks I could throw together with my boxes and toys.
