Project Cars 3 makes a strong come back with probably the best arcade racing video game that you will find at this time. Released on 28 August 2020 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC by Bandai Namco Entertainment, can now be found on the (virtual) shelves of game stores. Slightly Mad Studios made a decision to turn into the arcade car racing simulation, and this departure from realistic gameplay was criticized by many fans of the franchise. This is the only reason why Project Cars received mixed responses from the players.

In my opinion, you should judge the game that it is, not the game that you want, even if the expectation of a realistic race sim is justified. If you can pass this bias, if you have it, than you will have very little things to say against it. Simcade games are a great way to introduce new players to the racing world. But the space of arcade xbox racing games is very crowded. Does Project Cars needed more players? What was the reasoning behind the decision to steer the game into the arcade racing zone? After all, there are many games like Forza Motorsport, GT, DiRT, ToCA that are already on the market and they are very good. Players always appreciated the more realistic and simulation gameplay offered by Project Cars, how come they left this players unhappy?

Unfortunately, the perception of a very good racing video game is tarnished by the expectations of the franchise’s fans. It created a confusion and now it has a smaller market, not bigger. If the intention was to extend the fan based, at the moment it failed to do so. Hopefully, in time, people will learn to enjoy this beautiful video game. In my opinion, this is one of the best ps4 racing games today. I have to repeat once more: Project Cars 3 is a very good car racing video game, a simcade, an arcade racing, and if you judge it for what it is, than you can’t find faults with it.

Project Cars 3 has this intend to join the simcade competition and position itself against Forza Motorsport. Project Cars 3 is a single-player simcade racing video game that worth your time and money. If you are into this kind of games, than you are in for a treat.

Project Cars 3 is developed by Slightly Mad Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It was released worldwide on 28 August 2020. It is now available for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
