Assetto Corsa 2014

Is it still worth playing?

A sim racing game from the Italian developer Kunos Simulazioni, released in 2014 and made for a realistic racing experience with extensive customization and support for mods. It offers a variety of road and race cars with detailed physics and tire simulation, on tracks recreated with laser scanning. You can adjust the realism, from assists to none at all, and before a session you can change gear ratios, tire compounds and pressures, fuel and suspension settings. Offline modes include a campaign, special events, custom championships, hot laps, quick races, drift, drag and race weekends, against AI or alone. It started in Steam early access in 2013 and reached consoles in 2016. Each car feels and sounds distinct, and bumps and dips in the road are felt through the controller's vibration. Tuning every setting of a car still lets you chase small gains.
