Racing games

[Oswin]

asking suggestions for the best racing games on steam. which one is worth the money and has good gameplay?

I have been enjoying Dirt 3, but that is sadly not available as new anymore.

From what I have heard, Dirt 4 was not as good, but Dirt Rally 2.0 was great. I have bought both these games this weekend, but have not played them so can't give you personal opinions right now.

Grid 2 has been quite fun too though.

 

Depends on the sort of game you are looking for too though. Dirt games are mainly rally racing, but perhaps a Formula 1 game is more to your liking? Maybe Forza?

Assetto Corsa is a great sim. What peripheral you gonna be using? KB+M? Gamepad? Steering Wheel?

That's one game I have played a tiny bit at a store and it was fun, but it is a lot more realistic than the Dirt/Grid games I mentioned.

That is neither a good or bad thing, just depends on what you are looking for.

Sadly Dirt 3 does not run on newer hardware, crashes a lot. Tried myself and saw it in one of LTT's videos also not too long ago.

 

To OP: I can recommend DiRT Rally (both first and second), also Project Cars.

That's gonna be hard. I don't have long term experience playing sim game with KB+M but i remember it was pretty shit.

A good controller is minimum to enjoy this type of game.
You can try check Project Cars 2 and Grid Autosport as well, or the new Grid game.

It ran for a little over 100 hours on my PC with no crashes ever in that time.

That was an R7 1700+RX 580 system.

I have only ran the benchmark on my current GPU (RTX 2070 Super) and it worked fine too, but I have not played it as much..

 

I have seen the video you're talking about and (either in the forum or YouTube comments) I mentioned what I said above (except for the new GPU part).

 

But Dirt Rally is a really fun game too

 

Not sure how it will play with a keyboard though..

Play the crew 2 it's pretty good also the new need for speed game.

Why not a car crash sim, like BeamNG Drive.
