[UPDATE] Dockworkers are back to work today, October 4, following three days of work stoppage. The workers will go back to work until January 15, 2025, so the two sides can come to terms on a final agreement. The ports were offering a 50% pay increase but upped that to 62% over six years, reports suggest. The dockworkers union was asking for a 77% increase, according to The Associated Press.

The original story is below.

Arcade racing games have been few and far between during this console generation, which makes Gravel’s straightforward approach feel almost like a throwback. On its surface, Milestone’s latest appears to toe the line between being an authentic simulation of off-road racing, and a rough-and-tumble arcade experience. There are myriad driver assists that let you tune the difficulty to your liking, and the option to tweak each vehicle’s ride height, differentials, and so on, gives you some degree of performance-based customisation.
