  • 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






  • Battle for Wesnoth is a personal favorite of mine that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It’s a pixel art, hex-grid turn based strategy game with fantasy armies. It’s mixed with mild RPG elements, and there’s tons and tons of campaigns and fanmade content accessible directly through a mod browser in game.
    The other games I enjoy that I see being mentioned here are in the same vein. BAR, Warzone 2100, OpenTTD. And the open mods based on the STALKER engine, like Anomaly. I love those.


  • Came here to comment that game. It’s so good, it just brings me back to when I was a kid and played the older, non-Open version, on my first PC. Today, when I actually am old enough to understand all of the mechanics and complexities, it’s a very fun and engaging game that you can sit down with a hot mug of tea, and just let it take half of your day away without noticing. It’s great!
