It’s a second season in charge, but has Frontier nailed the formula?
Imagine Forza Horizon 5 rebuilt with LEGO and that's pretty much what you're getting with LEGO 2K Drive. Visual Concepts has delivered an exemplary open-world racing game that's family friendly without being too simplistic, and one which works superbly in split-screen co-op.
Need for Speed Unbound is a great showcase for a new generation of hardware. Criterion has delivered a high quality, breathtakingly fast open-world street racer that is both technically superb and strangely familiar.

It's sheer class, but who can hear a barrel scraping?
Forza Horizon 5
Not the best racing game ever made, but a contender for best driving game. While perhaps overly familiar, everything here is very slick, refreshingly wholesome and easy-going.
F1 2021
Codemasters' latest benefits from new story mode and a suite of improved features.
Just like eventually landing that famous 900, this Hawk shines after so many failures.
Project Cars 3 is a great way to get into sim racing for newcomers thanks to its overtly gamey career mode, but the move into proper ‘simcade’ territory feels odd and unfulfilling.
F1 2020
Creating a team in F1 2020 brings together a decade of evolution.
Great modding and a decent game engine can’t disguise the tired story and simplistic driving.
Forza Horizon 4 isn’t as bombastic as its predecessor, but still a challenging and all-encompassing online racer. And the more introverted moments of driving through autumnal or snow-dusted Britain are beautiful, especially as a showcase for Xbox One X.
