Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I'm kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out.

Me personally, I'd say Dirt Rally 2, very addicting gameplay.

Any AG racing fans in here?

BalisticNG is my latest main game, but my love began with the WipEout series.

I also enjoy Redout and Redout 2, but the lack of weapons means I can only go so long before needing to play WipEout or BNG again.

Obligatory mention of !ballisticng@sopuli.xyz

Major fan hear. BallisticNG is such a love letter to WipEout, its fantastic

Redout 1 and 2 are great fun if I'm in the mood for lap times, but I hate racing against the NPCs.

Every racing game not trying to sim stupid cars is gold these days.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

I really enjoyed some Xbox game called "quantum redshift" and I've been trying to capture that feeling ever since. VR game called Redoubt gets close.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Nobody is calling either game GOATs, but I personally really like Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and Cartoon Network Racing.

[–] Cossty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I am really surprised nobody mentioned yet

CarX Drift Racing Online

Best drifting game ever. A lot of customization, visual and performance of cars.
