4.45 PM CEST – Play 185 indie games from home
gamescom is all about visiting booths and trying out new games. Even though the fair takes place digitally this year, you can still do this! Visit Indie Arena Booth to join an online multiplayer game in which you discover 100.000 square meters of digital gamescom fair grounds. Play 185 games from 55 countries for free and get in touch with the developers. Find more information on Indie Arena Booth in our article:
GAMESCOM 2020: PLAY 185 GAMES IN INDIE ARENA BOOTH
Of course, there is also a racing game to test. In Can’t Drive This, one player takes control of a monster truck while the other one is responsible for building the track. Going too slow will let the car explode but driving off the track limits also ends the game. Friendships might be put to the test by the puzzle racer.
We think this is a great party game which you should definitely try out yourself by visiting Indie Arena Booth.
