Need for Speed: Rivals
Best Racing Games on PS4
Moving well and truly over to the arcade side of things we have Need for Speed: Rivals. Building off of the fantastic cops vs. robbers dynamic explored by Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, the game manages to put across an incredible feeling of blistering speed. Rivals is pretty, even by today’s standards, and its world filled with wide-open roads and sprawling hills is a delight to explore.
Essentially a car-chase simulator, Need for Speed: Rivals constantly offers up nail-biting set pieces time and time again, a dynamic which extends to its online modes. You can take on the role of racer or cop, with several weapons and abilities at your disposal. Chasing down drag-racers and deploying spike strips to send them crashing into obstacles never gets old, and there are a tonne of jumps, cars and secrets to test and explore.
