@Thrillho Yeah I think I might skip Onrush as it doesn't feel that compelling to play. I did play a bit of Dirt 5 earlier today and I enjoyed it. It reminds me of DriveClub a fair amount. So I think I might get it as well on top of having already ordered Dirt 4.
I actually played Payback a lot months ago on Game Pass and you're right, it's a great game. I don't think I'll be buying it though since I'm quite a ways into the career mode that I'll probably be finishing it up during the remainder of my Game Pass subscription. Need for Speed Heat seems to have massively improved upon Payback's formula, so I'm looking forward to giving that a go in the future.
@LtSarge I enjoyed Dirt 5 for what it was. It was more fun than I thought it would be. I have an official extended review over on the review thread if you’re interested.
I also actually enjoyed OnRush. It’s unique for a racing game, mostly because it’s not actually ‘racing’ per se. It’s not the simple goal of just being the first to cross a finish line, and in fact there is no finishing line in any of the modes, if I recall correctly. It’s more diverse in the objectives and they involve collecting boost, smashing other cars in some team or individual based games. The point of most game modes is to go fast, so not to worry — it has plenty of that important sense of speed. But it takes getting used to since you’re not necessarily trying to just out run the opponents. It’s hard to explain. Nevertheless it’s pretty fun, but definitely not something to play if you’re looking for a traditional racing game. I didn’t realize it wasn’t racing when I started playing it and was expecting to be like MotorStorm, but I eventually grew to like it.

@Th3solution I'm mostly looking into traditional racing games so I think I'll skip Onrush for now. I had a hard time getting into the MotorStorm franchise but who knows, maybe I'll give it another go in the future and that might entice me to get Onrush.
I read your review of Dirt 5 and it was good! Sounds like you had a fun time with it, I definitely want to get it now.
@LtSarge Have you tried Wreckfest? That is also on Extra. I very briefly played it as I found out I wasn't in the mood for, so need to go back tomit and give it a proper chance.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder Nope. It reminds me a bit of the PS1 game Destruction Derby. Might have to give it a try as well if I get a month of Extra, it looks pretty fun!
@LtSarge I've heard nothing but good things from people that have sunk some time into it, and there are more traditional races too. Can't remember if those were in Destruction Derby as all I can think of are those bowl like arenas.

After dabbling a lot in the racing genre, I've become a bit interested in the 2D fighting genre now. The thing is though that I don't know much about the games on offer. Just like with racing games, I primarily play these games in single-player mode, which is unfortunate because 2D fighting games are mostly known for the multiplayer aspect. So I'm wondering, are there any 2D fighting games that have a decent story mode? It doesn't have to be too long considering a lot of these games are fairly cheap.
The ones that have caught my interest are Injustice 2, Tekken 7, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, Street Fighter V, Soul Calibur VI and Mortal Kombat 11.
@LtSarge
Not really my genre either but I did play through story modes and arcade modes with all characters (I think) on both Injustice games. I enjoyed them as it was obviously DC characters, many of whom I was already familiar with. The games had some nice touches and it's always a bonus being able to punch Superman in the head.
@LtSarge I can only speak to SoulCalibur and the two Iniustice games, but if I were to comment on the story aspects, I can’t even remember what the SoulCalibur story was. 😅 I’m sure it was decent enough, but at least I remember the Injustice story’s basic beats a couple years later. So I’d definitely give the nod to Injustice as far as story goes. It also has really good fighting mechanics and looks beautiful, especially Injustice 2.
Take all this with a grain of salt because I’m not very seasoned on the fighting game genre and like you have only dabbled in it from time to time. Having interest in the DC Universe helps make Injustice more attractive as well, so your mileage may vary.

@sorteddan@RogerRoger@Th3solution Sounds like I'll be getting Injustice then! Luckily, I already have the first game so I'll just buy the second one since it's dirt cheap right now (around €10). I also like DC so it's perfect for me.
I might also get Soul Calibur VI. So for now, I think I'm content with getting these two games. Thanks for the help guys!
@LtSarge I’ll be interested in what you think. I’m pretty sure you’ll like Injustice 1&2. And think you’ll like SoulCalibur VI also, even though it’s the weaker SP story, it has a really fun cast and has a pretty intricate character creator, which I always enjoy. Injustice has unlockable skins for the characters, which is fun also, but there’s some real satisfaction to be had by messing around with the SC char creator and making a crazy looking fighter and choosing what fighting style to attach to it.

For a new copy it goes for about £17 at the cheapest I've seen @RogerRoger so not quite pennies but definitely cheaper then it was at launch 😄
Good to know though. 21 courses was actually a bit more then I was expecting and it seems to have a pretty decent roster of characters too.
I could do with both another Sonic game & another racing game too (Especially as Crash Team Racing makes me feel a little cold with all the Activision Blizzard stuff).
I think team sonic racing was free earlier this year , and the online was (apparently still) busted so i installed the game into the recycle bin 😂 basically
@RogerRoger maybe it’s regional . i remember when the game first dropped people were having trouble matchmaking with randoms , it never found anyone or just a handful of people - but never filled lobbies . whenever it became free this year , i tried it myself and still no luck . i found people but it was rare and it was only 2 or 3 other people & any lobbies that seemed like it was gonna be a full race , the connections would drop .
