Project CARS 2

Overall, there is a lot to really like about Project Cars 2. There’s a veritable smorgasbord of cars and tracks, enough so that there should be something for everyone. The visuals are again top notch. The handling is much improved since the first game. The issues that are there are ones that seem to be at least fixable. Racing sims really seem to mature over time and I’ll eagerly be watching where Project Cars 2 goes, but as of right now it’s starting off with an excellent base.

There's an undeniable quality to Project CARS 2. It's possibly the most realistic racing sim around, with an almost inordinate amount of detail that's gone into every car, track and the weather and how everything is interconnected. This makes the lack of accessibility for those who struggle with simulation and who'd prefer an arcade mode all the more annoying. Is it a great game? Likely the best racing sim around. Does it need to open itself up to those less skilled? Yes.

When it comes to racing games, you'll be hard-pressed to find another game that matches the level of detail and realism in Project Cars 2. For simulated-racing enthusiasts, PC2 is the new gold standard.
