I actually had a ton of fun playing NFS Heat! Switching tires and other parts to go for drifting or racing is pretty cool, also the map is full of stuff to do and challenges, also completing them you get iconic cars like Paul Walker's Skyline. The only downside to it is that 1 out of 2 times the game is launched it can suffer from terrible stuttering and slow-mo like issues, which aren't fixed up to this day, the game isn't getting fixes anymore...

Burnout Paradise will always have a special place in my heart. It was one of only two games I could play at one point because my PS3 broke, discs didn't work they'd always freeze. The two games were, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (which was weird cause it was the disc version) and Burnout Paradise (which I had downloaded). I played that game for at least 4 months, I was always trying to complete the challenges in-game to get the carbon cars. Loved the playlist, the openness, and the atmosphere it was a great game.

Was pleasantly surprised to see My Summer Car on here. It's quite different from everything else on this list. The other thing about MSC is that if you die, you lose all your progress, and have to start over again from scratch. I know these are not racing games, but I think Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator both deserve a mention. The former features a map that runs from Portugal to the UK to western Russia to western Turkey to Sicily (soon to be expanded further!). The latter is (roughly) the western third of mainland USA (with expansions coming soon!).

[@angelinadash2396]

what I love about the spintires series, is that it stimulates REAL LIFE DRIVING AND REAL LIFE DRIVING CONDITIONS! IT LITERALLY SUMULATES ON A VERY REALISTIC, VERY IMMERSIVE AND CONVINCING LEVEL, WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE A TRUCK DELIVERY DRIVER, HAVING TO DRIVE THROUGH HARSH AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS! IT TAKES MANY REAL LIFE FACTORS INTO PLAY! SUSPENSION, WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION, FRICTION OF VARIOUS SURFACES, REAL DYNAMIC DEFORMING TERRAIN, TRANSMISSION GOING DOWNHILL VS UPHILL. IF YOU'VE EVER EXPERIENCED OFF-ROAD DRIVING IN ANY TYPE OF VEHICLE IN REAL LIFE, YOU KNOW HOW EXCITING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IT CAN BE! YOU COULD GET STUCK! I'VE CERTAINLY EXPERIENCED IT BEFORE IN MY LIFE, IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST EXTHRALLING EXPERIENCES I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! It takes GENUINE SKILL, extrapolated from playing the game AND FROM REAL LIFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE, that allows you to really immerse yourself in the spintire games.

@@ragggggy38 it’s actually the worst game to play with a wheel from what I experienced compared to other racing games with full wheel support

[@supermalevitality8532]

@@MrTARIQSs I think it's mostly subjective. For me out of all the games I've tried, I prefer the feedback and feel in this order: Assetto Corsa>Beamng.drive>Dirt Rally 2.0>Wreckfest>Forza Horizon 4> Project Cars 2/Automobilista 2. This is after loads of tweaking settings and stuff, but overall I think forza does well with the right settings. Need for Speed Heat is probably the worst game in terms of feel of the feedback that I have tried

[@MrTARIQSs]

@@supermalevitality8532 oh yeah forgot about project cars, that one is absolutely horrid gotta agree, and haven’t tried heat since I abandoned it by the time they added wheel support. My main issue with horizon is that it can get a bit tiring since you have to do significantly more fast movements than usual sims so I prefer using a controller with it instead, but I get your point, enjoy what you find most fun, that’s what matters in the end :)
