I really liked Midnight Club back on the PS2. Would be cool to find similar for the Deck.

Any racing games that the community finds good on the Deck? Is it arcadey or realistic in the mechanics?

    Wreckfest

    This is my go to racer, the handling leans realistic but the damage model is very gamey in just the right way. It’s a ton of fun dragging across the finish line in a car that’s missing a wheel and most of its crumple zone.

        A bit, but more sim racer steering and no boosting. Shoving other racers off the road or into obstacles is still viable and satisfying but it works a bit differently. In burnout any significant impact will wreck the car and force a respawn. Wreckfest cars can take a lot of abuse but damage accumulates until the car is undriveable and gets DNF’d.

      Bought this on a deep sale last summer and love it on the deck. I don’t tend to play racing games much but the crazy tracks and destruction physics looked way too fun and I’ve played it a ton.
