Finding the right racing game

Racing games are about control at speed. The best ones give the car a feel you can learn, so each run teaches you a little more about when to brake, when to commit and how hard you can push a corner. Some are about beating the clock, some are about beating other cars, and some are simply about the drive.

Slowroads io is the calm one: a relaxing endless drive through generated scenery with no races or scores. You pick a car and follow the road through forests, coasts and hills. PolyTrack is a low-poly time-trial racer in the spirit of TrackMania, made for chasing personal bests through tight corners and over ramps. Survival Race is a demolition arena on collapsing hex tiles, where you ram rivals, grab power-ups and try to be the last car rolling.

For a quick break, Drift Boss, Car Rush, Highway Traffic and Survival Race all play in short sessions and work on mobile. If you have more time and a keyboard, Madalin Stunt Cars 2 and Slowroads io are the long ones. Both are desktop only, and so is PolyTrack.
