When it comes to driving games that emphasize competitive showdowns, Rocket League should prove a draw for fans of Playground Games' hit, despite their stark differences in many avenues.

While critiqued for being a bit rough around the edges, Horizon multiplayer fans may want to give this one a look for its unique vehicular combat gameplay — as well as its budget price.

This fast-paced retro racer proves a great fit on the Switch, with its blend of familiar gameplay and unique elements that include a deep story mode and solid twin-stick controls. While the off-kilter controls take some getting used to, this learning curve is fairly easily navigated and overcome. This twin-stick method enables ample drifting which ...
Despite sharing a word in their titles, this modern homage to NES racers isn't exactly comparable to the sleeker, more dynamic Forza Horizon. But like Playground Games' hit, Horizon Chase Turbo sufficiently scratches that frenzied arcade-style itch for racing fans. While this effort takes a very different route, both titles harken back to those adr...

Horizon Chase Turbo helped blaze a trail for the retro racing renaissance—and SUMO and Lucky Mountain Games were happy to follow in their path with 2020's Hotshot Racing. Fast, twitchy mechanics and delightful late-80s polygons are similarly front and center in this old-school racing nod. With the said, this game also veers into its own lane with d...
With its fast-paced action—along with a diversity of cars, environments, and driving conditions, Kylotonn's V-Rally 4 captures at least some of the FH essence. RELATED: The Best Racing Games You Can Play On The Xbox One (According To Metacritic) While its multiplayer brings ample excitement, its more tepid career mode may not blow the hair back of ...

- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch) Let's get the most obvious and essential Switch racing game out of the way first. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe delivers a huge amount of racing goodness right out of the box, and it's a polished version of a Wii U entry that was only a proper Battle Mode away from being top of class.
- Fast RMX (Switch eShop) FAST RMX is as good as the Wii U original and then some. Updated visuals, more tracks, more vehicles; it was an utterly outstanding launch title for the Switch and it holds up very well to this day, keeping the futuristic high-speed racing game alive in the absence of F-Zero.
- Hotshot Racing (Switch eShop) If the look of Hotshot Racing appeals to you and you can appreciate the aesthetic delights of something that looks deliberately low-fi and polygonal, the action it offers on the track does an excellent job of backing up the game's style with substance.
- SEGA AGES Out Run (Switch eShop) This is about as essential a retro release as you can get. An inspiration for the excellent Horizon Chase Turbo further down the page (although the Top Gear games are arguably a bigger influence there), Out Run may lack modern spit polish but it has always been an infinitely playable game, and the new unlockables and online rankings only increase its longevity further.
