Momentum is what Wheel World does best. Wheel World is an undeniably feel-good video game. That’s right: Wheel World, from California-based studio Messhof, maker of the excellent Nidhogg sword-dueling games, is structured like an open-world behemoth from Ubisoft. This, I think, is the true mark of a game like Wheel World: the extent to which the core mechanics might cajole you back. Wheel World launches July 23rd on PC, PS5, and Xbox.
