This wasn’t an amazing year for racing games, but what we got were solid sequels. Not all of them pushed the boundaries of their respective series or the genre as a whole, but they were still enjoyable and looked fantastic. This was certainly a strong year for racing sims.

Gran Turismo 7

Perfect thanks to the talented and experienced developer Polyphony Digital. The visuals are amazing, the physics are immaculate, and the race modes are a lot of fun. Mixed with online play, a steering wheel, and a beer you are set for an amazing weekend of racing fun. It doesn’t get any better than this on consoles.
