That might be a solid recommendation for others, but speaking for myself, licensed cars and tracks do nothing for me and in most cases will probably put some drag on my enjoyment, because real racing asks you to do things like “not checking the car next to you” that would put real people in harm’s way; and damaging licensed cars in video games is generally frowned upon by the licensors. And also speaking for myself, the store page says it has no local multiplayer, which is my primary use case for a racing game, so its omission is a deal-breaker. Most of the genre has gone this way in recent years, catering to the crowd that likes licensed cars and real tracks, and that’s why I haven’t had as many racing games to play of late. There’s still some stuff for me, though.
With all of that in mind then, I would also suggest keeping an eye on Super Woden: Rally Edge. Big list of cars to collect and upgrade, local multiplayer and the previous games are well received. There is also a Demo for Super Woden GP2 which should give you an idea for what to expect.
Thanks. A lot of rally games have come up over the years, but to my eye, surprisingly few of them have any multiplayer to speak of, let alone local, so I have yet to try one.
