Progressive racing game
Hello do any of you know a good progression based game

Preferably starting with junk cars and need to work your way up tournaments or just races for a upgrade/new car and a bit newer graphics not totally new but a lil modern

Also i like singleplayer games so that takes priority but if multiplayer is a different "lobby" then i dont mind.

I tried Forza Horizon 4 and 5 but they just give you free hypercars and there is almost 0 grind as i can buy a hypercar after a couple of races


I did play almost all of need for Speed but never really tried underground heard that one is good?

Thanks in advance!

Wow, this looks like a spiritual successor to Test Drive: Eve of Destruction.

In some ways, Burnout Paradise actually ticks some boxes very well, but the progression is kind of repetitive. It's also more than just races.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered doesn't really have its share of junk cars, but it starts with sporty cars and goes all the way to hyper cars and they all look beautiful. If you are happy with new cars after new cars then the progression is very satisfying though.

In general, Need for Speed Games from the PS2/PS3 era got this kind of progression down perfectly, but the bad news is Steam doesn't have very many of them left on its store. They don't make those kinds of racing games that much anymore.

Need for Speed Unbound could be a return to form in that sense, but I've heard mixed things about it. Need for Speed Heat can be found for dirt cheap, and probably has some of what you are after. If you want to go for the most recent stuff, I'd say start there, or look at GRID.

never tried GID,

i did play need for speed hot pursuit heat unbound and most wanted on xbox or the EA launcher.

i also did test drive ultimate 2 on xbox 360 YEARS AGO but now it seems outdated, im very dissapointed that forza horizon is changed as forza horizon 3 was perfect, and i downloaded t again on my xbox,

its dissapointing that the audience just want to drive cars worth millions instead of feeling the satisfaction that you made it to drive a super/hypercar
