Project CARS 3

Shouldn't have been named pcars 3 and should have had a more fleshed out career (it seems that there aren't even events for some classes of cars), but it's the best controller simcade to play in 3rd person. All the more simulator focused ones are best with a wheel. This is an almost perfect controller sweet spot. Some nostalgic ass music in menus sometimes too (that "you made me feel good" one especially). Takes me back to the 2010s. Had fun competing in the daily weekly and monthly rivals events and doing some races in the months before servers shut down. Everything's ending. The world you were born in no longer exists. Technology is too far ahead, tower of babel has too many floors built. I highly recommend the "Spiritual Renaissance" channel and the "I'm The Original Cosmic Supreme Master Right Here" text. If you're not too keen on merging with the machine. Godspeed.

This may be the best sim cade on the market. If you like forza and gran turismo this will be your jam. Cars handle well and still feel distinct. It's easy to lose it pushing too hard or in the rain. The career is the best I have seen. It goes E > D > C > B > A > Hypercars > GTC > GTB GTA > GT Open > Inventationals > Legends and then 4 DLC if you bought them. Money is slow at first but then comes quicker as you level. You do not get money for winning but for leveling. It's off at first but keeps you getting rewards from tracks completed, races won, miles driven exc. This makes you stick with a small handful of cars and really learn them and their limits. You upgrade, make your own livery, and then everntually go up a class or get another class for specific challenges. I really dig it as you have to earn medals in each to unlock more. There are typcally 8 races, 4 hotlaps, and 4 championships per class. The fact this has over 40 tracks keeps things fresh longterm. I really wish people gave this a chance as its the best controller game on pc outside of forza. And did I mention it has VR support? This game was dope. Really sucks they are making another sim in a sea of unfinished early access sims. Those are a dime a dozen while a good simcade with car collecting is rare. Highly recommend this one friends. May have to hit a key site but it while you can.
