Hutch, a studio renowned for its high-octane, visually stunning racing games, has taken a new direction with their latest release, Matchcreek Motors. Now available on iOS and Android, this game swaps out the racing for a more laid-back match-three puzzle experience, infused with a narrative twist.
In Matchcreek Motors, you step into the shoes of the sibling tasked with reviving your brother's struggling motor restoration business. The gameplay is straightforward yet engaging: you'll tackle match-three puzzles, then use the proceeds to customize and restore classic cars, which you'll sell at a profit to keep the business afloat.
If this setup rings a bell, it's likely because it echoes games like Forza Customs, which have previously explored similar concepts with varying degrees of success. However, Hutch's deep-rooted experience in automotive-themed games might just give Matchcreek Motors the edge needed to become a notable hit.

One of Hutch's strengths is their attention to detail, particularly evident in the high-quality models of each vehicle showcased in the game's trailer. While match-three puzzles might not be groundbreaking, the allure of customizing cars—often a passion for many—becomes even more appealing when those cars are rendered beautifully.
Adding to the game's appeal, Matchcreek Motors features officially licensed vehicles from renowned manufacturers like Ford and GMC. This touch of authenticity not only enhances the game's realism but also adds a layer of excitement for car enthusiasts looking to combine casual puzzling with a bit of substance.
