I'm sure some people aren't going to like this, but speaking as a fan of racing games, I think they've been kinda boring for a while. I dunno, it's difficult. You look at racers over the last 10 years or so, and it's hard to argue against them in some respects. They're broadly very well made. The problem I personally have is that, for me, racing games have fallen into a bit of a rut. A lot of the biggest ones today are either sims or open world racers absolutely rammed with licenced vehicles. In other words, you're an Assetto Corsa, or a Gran Turismo 7, or a Forza Horizon. It feels as though a lot of big budget racing games fit somewhere along that spectrum. All fine games, by the way. I'm not really here to slag them off; they're all extremely good at what they set out to do, and they're clearly popular. I just think it's gotten a bit dull seeing somewhat similar racers come and go. I have no doubt Forza Horizon 6 is as good as people say, but frankly I'm struggling to get excited for its arrival on PS5 because I know exactly what it'll be like. I haven't played it, but I sort of have, you know?
