Need a game recommendation -

Haswellx86 · April 26, 2022

I want a car racing game with realistic physics which has free roam included, and has ability to switch gears manually, but most importantly, it should be playable on a potato gaming machine/ordinary work laptop (10th gen "laptop" integrated graphics). So basically I want a cut down graphics version of Forza.

These come to mind but they're not with realistic physics: Test Drive Unlimited 1, NFS Underground 1 & 2, NFS Most Wanted 2005, NFS Undercover, NFS Carbon. All playable on ancient Egyptian computers like yours, all have the option for manual shifting, all have open world freeroam.

There is one with somewhat realistic physics (no freeroam, though) and good graphics but it's online only and it's currently controlled by a greedy mor(m)on who turned the game into an endless grinding. If you want to progress, you have to pay him a truckload of money. The game used to be published and hosted by Invictus Games in 2006. The name is Project Torque and you can find it on Steam. It has arcade physics and simulations physics. At least it did under Invictus' management. IDK what is happening to the game now, the mor(m)on might have stripped down the simulation physics, he's certainly capable of that.

Btw, you don't need a powerful computer for Forza. My CPU is 9 years old model but it runs any game, even the latest, without any problems. My video card isn't an expensive monster like 2090 but Forza 4 & 5 still run at ultra settings with 60 FPS. IDK what "10th gen laptop graphics" is (bc I don't use laptops) but it should be enough for at least Forza 4?
