Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks is nearly the orky Mad Max of my dreams, but more variety and fewer bots might get it to the finish line

Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks aka Orks in Cars.

You can't browse Steam for more than 10 seconds without tripping over a Warhammer game. Games Workshop makes a pretty penny hucking licenses to developers for all sorts of tie-ins, and I doubt they'll stop anytime soon. But if you're anything like me, all that grim darkness of the far future wears on you. "There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter?" What am I, in church? Where's the levity? Where's the race cars?

There's one faction in 40k's smorgasbord of alien horrors that's definitely having a good time in the grimdark: the orks. These football hooligan-inspired green goons are all about going fast and blowing people up, and it's about time they've been affectionately adapted in Speed Freeks, a vehicular arena shooter where you pilot shoddy rocket-powered tanks and race to the death. It's in early access, but already a good, chaotic time.
