MX Simulator
With a guesstimate of 2500 hours across 4 different pc's, MX Sim has to be one of my most played games ever over the span of the last 5 years that I have owned it. It's a bit of a love hate relationship considering that after the amount of hours I have put into not only playing the game but making content like bike and rider skins in photoshop, I am still not that good at the game.
This is not just any mere racing game though, this would have to be the hardest game, not just racing, that I have ever played.
The physics are brutally realistic, sometimes to the point where you feel like it's bullshit, but deep down you know that you made the mistake. Whether it be something simple like taking too much speed into a corner and losing the front, or something you think would be insignificant like not leaning back over a braking bump which sends you a little wide into a corner then causing you to have to take an alternate line into a rhythm where you are in a different gear which makes you case a jump and die.
I bet your asking "If its so difficult whats the point?"
Like anything once you get good at its unbelievably fun, the satisfaction of mastering the physics and laying down hotlaps, winning online races or throwing fat whips is extremely addictive. If you want a serious challenge this is the game for you.
There is a huge esport league for MX Sim as well if you ever get quick enough to qualify, the skill ceiling is infinitely high and there is some money to be made from it.
I/E:
Some cons of the game is the learning curve, which goes on forever because this game will never be mastered so just accept that it will take a long time to be on competitive level. Also the graphics are pretty aids by todays standards but mods make it look semi nice.
Also make sure you get a good setup off the bat cause the stock setup is aids and down right unplayable.
Lastly the game costs around $40 Usd, for me I have got my moneys worth but you might wanna try the demo first before you buy.
