Fuck yeah. After Test Drive Solar Crown turned out to be live service garbage, I’ve been waiting for another racing game to look forward to. Hopefully the career mode has a bit more depth than Wreckfest 1.
For similar series, I recommend Burnout and Flatout. See my comment in this thread for elaboration.
Career wise I think Burnout : Paradise City is the most fun of the games I mentioned because you have to go around the city finding hidden jumps, hunting cars roaming the city (when you catch them (by crashing them, of course) you get to drive them), and beating time trials that create unique opportunities to fly through the air and blast through traffic, ideally crashing your opponents into them… anyway, I love the genre, hope you find your game!
Oh hell yeah I’ve played almost all of both series.
Flatout 1 is alright, hasn’t aged especially well. Suffers from being completely overshadowed by its sequel in every way.
Flatout 2/Ultimate Carnage is still my favorite Bugbear game, with Wreckfest being a close but firm second.
Flatout 3 is.
Flatout 4 is honestly not terrible, but still feels like a cheap imitation of the first 2 games.
Burnout 1 also suffers from sequel shadow.
Burnout 2 is a great arcade racer that no one talks about because…
Burnout 3 is quite possibly the best arcade racer ever made. Absolute masterpiece.
Burnout Revenge is somehow just as good. Whether I prefer this or 3 depends entirely on how much I enjoy traffic checking on that day. I posted Junkie XL - Today to the music community a few days ago because I was playing Revenge recently, what a soundtrack.
Still haven’t played Dominator, should probably get around to that.
Burnout Paradise is also excellent in its own right, but I think going open world took away some of the charm that the previous games had. Tracks were so well designed in 3 and Revenge. Still love Paradise too, but 3 and Revenge are just absurdly good.
