27 Games like Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed on PlayStation that you should try

Full Oculus VR SupportDiRT Rally now fully supports Oculus Rift giving you the ultimate experience in racing immersion.

DiRT Rally 2.0 dares you to carve your way through a selection of iconic rally locations from across the globe, in the most powerful off-road vehicles ever made, knowing that the smallest mistake could end your stage.

A GT3-only simulator rather than a broad racing game: tyre temperatures, evolving track conditions and force feedback that real drivers single out as the most communicative available. The narrowness is the trade — the base roster is small enough that most players end up buying DLC, and the public lobbies are policed by a safety rating that punishes you for being crashed into.

Motorsport by its very nature is dangerous. DiRT 4 is all about embracing that danger. It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. And more than that, it’s about loving that feeling. It’s about pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop.

With the help of original technical solutions, the game manages to offer a fully dynamic SETA model of tires, as well as a system of dynamic day and weather change. The player feels how the car adjusts the behavior depending on the work of braking assistance or stability control.

Shift is the thirteenth Need for Speed game. It is considered one of the most hardcore installments of the series. Unlike many of its predecessors, it is oriented towards the actual driving simulation rather than arcade racing.

NEXT GENERATION RACING SIMULATOR Assetto Corsa features an advanced DirectX 11 graphics engine that recreates an immersive environment, dynamic lighthing and realistic materials and surfaces.

Wreckfest is a demolition derby themed racing game with soft-body damage modeling and in-depth vehicle upgrading, featuring both demolition derbies and more traditional track races. It’s all about fun, breakneck racing and over-the-top crashes.

A methodical repair sim: diagnose a fault, strip the car to the part that causes it, rebuild, then test-drive it — with barn-find and junkyard modes for hunting classics to restore. The detail is real enough that actual mechanics recognise it. The tutorial is the near-universal complaint: it explains almost nothing, and the opening hours are spent unscrewing wheel bolts to work out the loop yourself.

An open-world racer covering a compressed United States, where you switch between car, boat and plane mid-race at the press of a button. The scale and the freedom to just drive across the country are the draw. Account and launcher problems dominate the negative reviews — even the belatedly added offline mode still requires the publisher's client and anti-cheat to be running.
