Definitely on my top 3 games of 2024 and might be a contender for favourite 3D platformer. Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is charming, funny, extremely polished, full of references and small details. Everything about this game is so good that I simply don't know where to begin.

The gameplay is very fun and satisfying, it incorporates the best physics and elements of a car game and mixes them with splendid level design full of clever platform segments. I love how the game encourages you to experiment with the controls, you start the game with every single mechanic but you won't know about them until later on the game unless you try things out. You'll need to master every mechanic to acquire every collectable and I highly recommend doing so.

Every level is unique, with its own set of NPCs. Some levels are better than others, but they all are fun with a very well thought thematic. It's one of the funniest games I've played, mainly because of the NPCs and their dialogues, full of pop culture references and parodies. The whole big 'plot' of the game is making fun of Elon Musk, this alone tells you how unhinged it is.

I also enjoy how YTGV visually looks retro, with very cartoony sound design, but it does not feel retro nor outdated. It's so stylish that I genuinely appreciate the wonky 3D models so much, the world building is wonderfully trippy.

What else can I say? I got all the achievements, collectables and hats, and I still want more. It's your quintessential funny 3D platformer game.
