Hey fellow gamers,

please kindly share your racing game recommendations.

I didn’t play any racing games in the last couple of years, so it doesn’t need to be the latest titles, can be a bit older too.

I’m searching for something more on the casual side. Definitely no Sim. Are the recent NFS games any good? Like everybody I liked NFS Underground back in the days. Customizing cool cars is definitely a big plus.

Singleplayer campaign or something is required, because no way am I up to compete with people online.

Forza Horizon 4 or 5. They’re a little sim-y but very arcady at the same time. Very enjoyable games. 4 is better in terms of the map and story / single player experience, but 5 has better audio and visuals and car selection.

4 is also being delisted later this year due to expiring licensing deals. It’s on discount until it’s gone IIRC, but if you don’t get it soon you’ll never be able to legally.

Had a lot of fun with both Horizon 4 & 5, great mix of arcade and sim. Tons of cars, just about everything is viable. Lots of accessibility options, should be a good fit for just about anyone.

Forza Motorsport (2023) on the other hand is a massive disappointment. Avoid. Driving dynamics are good and more simmy, but everything else is a downgrade from its 7 year old predecessor. Kind of amazing how terrible it is. Apparently Microsoft had developers constantly rotating out on short contracts and it shows.

On my list because I played a Hella lot out of TFM, 2 and Stadium :)

But at the moment I look for something else.

Need for Speed Heat, the title before the current Unbound, was very well received. Currently on sale

As a huge NFS Underground fan, The Crew is the only game I’ve played that comes close

Forza Horizon 4, buy Ultimate so you get the 2 map expansions.

BeamNG.Drive has a great driving and damage model and lots of car and map mods.
