The Crew 2 does something most racing games do not bother with: it lets you switch between cars, boats, planes, and bikes within the same open world, and it does so without feeling gimmicky. I went in expecting to ignore everything except the cars and ended up spending a full session on speedboats because the handling model was better than I expected. Racing is unquestionably the core of what this game is, just interpreted across more vehicle types than usual. It is older than Motorfest and it shows in some of the surface polish, but the sheer volume of content available for free through PS Plus makes it an easy second place. If you burn through Motorfest and want more open-road variety, this is the obvious next step.
