My Thoughts
As a fan of racing games, Formula Legends caught my attention immediately. It looks like a blast to play, and I love the graphics; reminiscent of what the Pixar movie Cars might look like if it were set in the world of Formula One. And Italy sure does love its Formula One, so I’m confident that the development studio, 3DClouds, built this game with genuine passion and care. Sign me up, please! The trailer is a joy to watch; definitely check it out!
