The strange and addictive blend of side-scrolling platformer and multiplayer racing game that is SpeedRunners is now available on PlayStation 4. It is unusual that a game so perfectly suited for living room party sessions took so long to expand beyond its PC roots and arrive on consoles.
"If you had never played it, imagine Mario Kart as a side-scrolling game where 4 players have to knock each other off-screen using different weapons and pick-ups.
