Ahhh friend, that is such a big question. I'm going to narrow down to just 2 games but I could literally sit here all day, fill out an entire chart of games and still not be done. I love racing games.
I'm going to say the best sim overall is Assetto Corsa, the original, because of it's insane modding community that can make it into any sort of driving experience that you want.
And for best arcade racing game.... I am inclined to say Burnout 3:Takedown from back in the PS2 days. The later sequels were also great, but this is the one that perfected the formula of extremely fast and aggressive driving, with blissful brake to drive and crashing physics. They just don't make games that drive as good as this one in the arcade subgenre anymore.

Actually, I AM going to post a chart too, because I remembered I already have it saved. My favorite racing games, and this is still missing at least Ridge Racer Type 4

Nice list. Did you compile that yourself?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, I made that with my own favorite games. Like I said, I could still add more games that I couldn't fit in there. Test Drive Unlimited, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2, Gran Turismo 2, Forza Horizon 4, Wipeout Pulse, Project CARS 2, Raceroom Racing Experience, Automobilista 2, NFSU2 and Most Wanted both, the other Burnout games... There's way too many good racing games in the past, and not enough in the present. I really like racing games.

I like the chart idea and while you have excellent taste in racing games, I did make my own with some adjustments, lol

For "Best driving in a non-racing game" I was tempted to put BeamNG, but whether or not that counts as a "racing" game is up for debate. I think ETS2 is a safe bet.

I do enjoy the both of them, and they are more games missing from my chart, lol.
