Forza is the hybrid between a driving simulation (a Lil bit in terms of controls in between corners and turnings) and a classic racing game + the peaceful environments are the cherry on top.
It's soundtracks ROCK genre music is the best in any racing game till date 🗿. I have full playlist of NFS MW 2005 soundtracks, I play a single song everyday.
Never been into racing games, but Need For Speeds used to be best during PS2 era and I surprisingly liked the 2015 NFS game. But overall its pretty shit franchise nowadays.
I bought NFS 2015 really late and heard a lot of people were shitting on it, but I think it was casual fun. Drifting was really nice and I enjoyed it. Ofc there was a lot of problems and it felt pretty soulless overall.
Never liked any of the Gran Turismo games because for me personally they felt more like racing simulators. But for people who are into that type of racing games it's a Solid W
i like arcade racing as well.
but gran turismo introduced me to a more simulator style of game.
it was such a chanllange to learn how to control the car when i first played it.
i became a fan of the franshise because of that
