Car Go! PS5 Review By Reeg 6.5/10 🚛 @CleversanGames #IndieGame #GameDev

Car Go! is a small, simple delivery game that keeps things light and accessible. With such a vast range of genres available, is this one worth picking up?

Upon loading into the main menu, you’re greeted with three straightforward options: Start, Arcade, and Settings. While functional, the settings menu feels a little bare, notably lacking an option to adjust sensitivity. Visually, the game adopts a cute, minimal style with a distinctly mobile-esque look and feel.

Fantasy Symbolism Influencing Visual Design in Digital Games 🎮

Step into any fantasy video game and you’re instantly surrounded by a silent language of symbols, before you’ve heard a scrap of dialogue or read a quest prompt. Designers rely on this mostly visual shorthand to steer our emotions and choices from the first moment. A golden shimmer in the distance means you found a safe spot; blood-red, splashed across the screen, promises trouble. Certain shapes, too, whisper ancient meanings: think labyrinthine corridors, dragon heads, or those recurring, rune-carved stones. 

Decoding these cues doesn’t require a lore deep-dive. Centuries of storytelling have conditioned us. Recent surveys actually put a number to this: over 80% of today’s best-selling fantasy games lean heavily on symbolic palettes and iconography (SDLCCorp, 2023). It’s not just pretty art; this is what lets game worlds speak for themselves and draw players deeper.
