Absolutely love Shift 2. I feel like it really captured the intensity of Battlefield 3, but transposed to the Racing genre.

Recently revisited it on the Steam Deck and was worried that it wasn’t going to be as good as I remembered, and I’m pleased to say that it has remained every bit as amazing as it was.

Also makes me wonder what the hell simcade games have been doing the last 14 years. Nothing else really matches the sensation of speed and intensity that Shift 2 has. It’s also weird to me that the reactive helmet cam is not a staple in every single racing game.
