Racing
13 reviews
Forget simulation. Asphalt 8 and Asphalt Legends are the spectacle end of this shelf, with a garage that wants paying. Hill Climb Racing and its sequel are two buttons and a hill. Traffic Rider and Dr. Driving swap stunts for lanes and mirrors. Careers that turn into a grind and ad breaks that arrive between races both get noted, but handling on glass with no controller decides everything, and every page starts there.
Verdicts at a glance
- Asphalt 8 - Car Racing Game 6.8/10 A reliable, arcadey racing game that has aged reasonably well and remains one of the better free options in the genre for players who accept the grind.
- Hill Climb Racing 6.5/10 A durable mobile classic that remains worth installing for its clean offline physics gameplay, even if the sequel has surpassed it on content.
- Traffic Rider 7.0/10 A lean, honest mobile racer that delivers genuine speed sensation without overcomplicating itself.
- Dr. Driving 6.2/10 A competent driving puzzle game that holds up as a time-killer despite its age, though it won't satisfy anyone looking for depth.
- Traffic Racer A well-rated, long-running racer that suits short sessions; the listing is silent on ads and purchases, so check those yourself before settling in.
- CSR 2 Realistic Drag Racing A top-rated racer for car fans who enjoy collecting and tuning, with little said in the listing about monetisation.
- Need for Speed™ No Limits A big, widely played racer for people who accept online-only play and random item purchases; the 4.38 rating is good but not the best in its class.
- Extreme Car Driving Simulator 4,812,379 ratings put Extreme Car Driving Simulator at 4.3, which reads as generally liked for a racing game.
- Hill Climb Racing 2 7.2/10 A fun, physics-forward mobile racer that's hard to put down in short bursts but shows a monetization ceiling the longer you play.
- Race Master 3D: Car Racing A well liked racing game on the numbers: 4.6 stars from 3,502,179 ratings and 500 million+ installs.
- Beach Buggy Racing A well liked racing game on the numbers: 4.5 stars from 3,072,210 ratings and 100 million+ installs.
- Asphalt Legends - Racing Game 6.9/10 The most visually spectacular mobile racer available, undermined by a progression economy that works against the player the moment they get competitive.
