Heading Out is a game developed by Serious Sim and published by Saber Interactive. Saber also published Mudrunners, but Serious Sim is a somewhat new studio without much of a backcatalog to prove their quality on the gaming market.

From my experience playing Heading Out, the sheer artistry of this team is fucking magical.

This isn't just a desperate breath of fresh air in the increasingly stale racing genre, though: it's genuinely a very exciting and interesting attempt at creating a racing game roguelite, and it is an absolute blast.

I'm not gonna say a damn thing about this game except offering a few tips:

  1. If you want more narrative gameplay and less driving gameplay, take the shortest path to the goal and avoid police attention. If you want way more driving, try accepting a mission that takes you away from the goal and putting your foot to the floor, running from the cops and racing against the street racers as much as you can.
  2. Buy the soundtrack bundle, because the music is all bangers no skips
  3. Keep reminding yourself that this game's setting is around the Vietnam War, and the developers are Polish; the political commentary in the game is rather blunt to the point of near-parody, but the narrative of the game feels very self-aware; nobody's perfect in this game.

Buy it. It's a really fucking good game.
