iRacing Arcade is the newest racing game from iRacing. You may have seen my review or played their most recent NASCAR 25 game. Well, they were nice enough to send me iRacing Arcade to check out as well.
Now I know some of you love to have your racing games to be very in-depth simulators, and when it comes to gameplay, this isn’t it. sure there is some of it, and you will be building your own team. The game also pretty much has everything you would want from an iRacing game, with global leaderboards and online races. The game also has real licensed tracks. This game comes from a company that I feel has mastered the art of making racing games.
The gameplay itself, however, as the name implies, is much more of an arcade game. This doesn’t mean it is easier or somehow lacking in strategy. While it is super approachable, the controls are essentially a gas and a brake when you don’t count steering. You won’t have to worry about anything else, like shifting. If you can handle that, you can play this game.
Graphically, the game looks great even on my at-best mid-range laptop. I ran this thing on max settings with no slowdowns. I love that the cars essentially looked like mini versions of their real-life selves. I understand this won’t appeal to everyone, but for me it just worked.
Now on to what didn’t work for me. It would have been nice to have some sort of customization options besides for my avatar you don’t really see. Let me at least paint my car however I want. Also, the controls, while simple, which I liked, could have been a little more responsive in my opinion. None of this was a deal breaker, but they were small things that would have made the game more enjoyable. All in all, the game was an 8/10, which, for its price point, is a great game for racing fans. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
