    BeamNG DOES HAVE missions and levels, the career mode says "coming soon" but you can click it, and it actually has a great base for a game!

    • @RacingXTV
      @RacingXTV  Місяць тому +2

      It does, but in my opinion that's not what the game is good for since it was conceived to a be a sandbox vehicle physics sim game

      @RacingXTV well, i already prefer it over ETS1.
      Also, SnowRunner is one of my favorite games, and i did not like what they did with Expeditions.

    Maaan, you've introduced me to Motor Town: Behind the Wheel, a game with very satisfying driving and interesting depth in gameplay mechanics. Games with that colorful, cartoony art kind of turn me off, but I gave it a chance and it's a great game that relaxes me while I listen to my music in the background. Thanks so much for including it!

    • @RacingXTV
      @RacingXTV  10 днів тому

      Try Lake while you're at it, although it's much simpler than Motor Town

      How much gameplay is there right now? I've been thinking about buying it now that I have a good wheel and pedals, but it's still Early Access and I try to avoid Early Access if possible. Is there enough to do currently that it's worth a purchase?

    BeamNG does have a WIP carrer mode, and you can access it by clicking the Carreer Mode button on the main menu a few times, and it includes missions, deliveries, races, a currency system, buying, selling and tuning cars and even a simulated insurance system. The only downside is it's still a WIP so save games more often than not break between updates and you have to start again.

    I would say Euro Truck Sim2 is VERY MUCH a game for casual, relaxing driving, exactly like American Truck Sim. I have them both and the only difference is the trucks and the landscape.

    • @RacingXTV
      @RacingXTV  Місяць тому

      When I said casual I meant a game where you can just start driving without learning the mechanics. It is a relaxing game, but gameplay-wise it's not casual (compared to games like Lake where you just hit the gas and start driving without thinking about changing gears, turning signals, etc.)

  • @MtheHell
    @MtheHell Місяць тому +2

    I want to second the arguments pro "relaxing while playing/driving". I loved OMSI 2 in former times (bus driving on different realworld maps), I enjoy occasionally ATS & ETS2 since 10 years, I drive buses in Tourist Bus Sim and The Bus (of course). I also liked LAKE very much for it's charming story, characters, and graphics and I have the feeling, I should take a look to Cloudpunk (didn't know this!). Normally I'm over 25 years connected to flight simming. So everyone can guess, I'm not 16 anymore and you were right again when saying "You will understand when you are older".
    Great overview, thank you for that!

    Thanks for understanding my feelings when describing Bus Simulator 21 😅
    Maybe one note here. I understand the disclaimer from the beginning about not including race games. But as you've added Mad Max and Driver SF (which I have), maybe the latest Test Driver could be added? I don't have this one to confirm, but if it's like the TD Unlimited series (which I have both too), it also had slow driving missions.

    • @RacingXTV
      @RacingXTV  24 дні тому +1

      Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown? It's a racing game, is it not? And it's not good from what I can see, but I could be wrong though. Next video will be about open world racing games and there will be Test Drive Unlimited 1 & 2 btw

    Both GTA V and Cyberpunk 2077 aren’t very good driving games. In GTA if you’re parked in the road for too long, the car behind you will try to drive around you. Wouldn’t be so bad if the cars could recognize when you are or aren’t in a traffic queue, but sadly, they can’t. NPCs will try to drive around you and ram into another car if you’re in traffic.
    Cyberpunk 2077 has this same issue, but with the added issue of lights automatically turning green when you approach them (GTA might also have this issue, I haven’t played it enough to know.) There are mods you can install to prevent this if you’re on pc, and tapping the forwards and backwards buttons every 10 seconds will prevent the car behind you from ramming you, but just be warned if you’re buying the game just for the driving.

    • @RacingXTV
      @RacingXTV  26 днів тому

      They're not, but since this is an 'open world' driving games list, I think both of them are great games
