October 6 sees the release of Star Wars: Galactic Racer on Steam. While the author admits not being a diehard Star Wars fan, they appreciate the 1999 film's racing game predecessor and are curious about the game's run-based structure.
On October 9, Car Park Capital for Steam arrives, offering a satirical take on city building through car-focused propaganda. Players can transform a walkable town into an automotive utopia by convincing citizens to demolish residential areas and build towering parking garages.
