NOT The Crew, it's a waste of money for 30 dollars as they still charge micro transactions on you after buying the game.

Wait for NFS 2015/16 as it's going back to it's roots with Underground 2/MW/Carbon/ProStreet.

For Simulators I recommend Dirt Rally and Assetto Corsa. But you should have a decent racing wheel with force feedback to get all out of them.

 

For more arcadey racing check out GRID or GRID Autosports. They are kind of a mix between sim and arcade racing.

 

For full on arcade racing check out Driver San Francisco. It also has a pretty cool 70s style car cop show story with a cool twist that combines with game mechanic. And to date this game has given the best feeling of racing through heavy traffic. The same that you see in movies or game trailers but no other game really lives up to that. It doesn't look that good even for it's release date but it runs well and is lots of fun.

 

 

 

And some extra mentions. Track Mania Stadium is a really cool precision driving game that can very well be played on keyboard. And GTA V Online has lots of races. If you are OK with the dirty driving that goes on there.

For simulators I recommend you Live For Speed. Has the best driving physics in any simulation racing game I played but it's damn expensive... But it's worth it. Also RACE 07 is a good game, but dunno to which genre of racing does it belong to [emoji1]

Yea, the latest Driver game is really good. I was really surprised by it. When I played it for a few hours i thought that I'll just finish the story and that's it. But after the story I still doubled the game time I had with it. And it's also the kind of game that I might pick up and play few years from now.

 

Uplay sucks tough. Got kicked from the game a few times(singelplayer). And lots of forced pause screens telling me that I can't upload screenshots because Uplay is having problems. This is one of the reasons why I started boycotting games using uplay.

Depends where you get it from, I got it for like 10$ off G2A season pass, And then 15 for the wild run. Sure the games not the best, but its not THAT bad
