PlayStation player here. I remember enjoying Motorstorm Apocalypse, Split Second, and Blur. Burnout Paradise was great as well, and the Need For Speed games are hit-and-miss. I’m terrible at drifting (as a challenge or necessary) and prefer open world maps or interesting environments over traditional racetracks. Customizations and storylines are less important. I’ve done what I can with the latest Need For Speed (which was mostly okay) and Grid Legends (which was such a grind for trophies).
I’d like to find another Motorstorm Apocalypse or Split Second. Should I be looking at the Kart-like games? Are there other recommendations, or has the industry moved on from these classics?
Now that you mention it, I have played The Crew (the first one) and I think I liked it. I played The Crew 2 for a very short while – I remember feeling a little nauseated – I do get vertigo from first-person games and the occasional RPG, but this was a new feeling from a driving game. I see there is a new Crew game coming soon. I’ll check the gameplay reviews when it comes out but hands-on is the only way to see if I can actually play it. Or I might still have The Crew 2 in my library. Thanks for the reminder.
