Top 10 Best Racing Games in 2023
Racing games have had a decent time lately. After recent release of Forza Motorsport, and before Rev to Vertex, we're updating a list of 10 fine racers you can play right now.
Assetto Corsa Competizione
- Year of release: 2019
- Developer: Kunos Simulazioni
- Platforms: PC Windows, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4
- Game characteristics: ultra-realism, official game of the Blancpain GT racing series
The Assetto Corsa series, which has been around for some time, still sets an unmatched standard for sim racing fans and ultra-realistic car behavior on the track (excluding subscription-based iRacing). Using the keyboard is out of the question, and you can't do much with a controller either - Assetto Corsa Competizione is best enjoyed with a good steering wheel. After that, it's just the tedious task of shaving off thousandths of a second on each lap, while carefully battling opponents and avoiding contact and crashes at all costs. A good strategy on the racetrack is equally crucial as talent and skills required for handling the powerful machines of the Blancpain GT series.
Assetto Corsa Competizione, released in 2019, uses the Unreal Engine 4, resulting in impressive presentation of the well-known tracks and vehicles. Just like the changing weather conditions and driver animations. The last ones were made using motion capture technique.
Attention! The older version of Competizione, or simply Assetto Corsa from 2014, isn't exactly the same game - the latest release in the series isn't a sequel to it.
Three biggest pros:
- huge realism of driving physics;
- opportunity to learn the nuances of Blancpain GT races;
- support for mods.
In one direction
When working on a game using a new engine, the developers focused on one topic, so Assetto Corsa Competizione focuses exclusively on the authentic Blancpain GT racing series. The same tracks, the same cars, rules, and regulations. It's a type of Assetto Corsa with an official license and remains a complete simulator for simracing enthusiasts.
