Rocket League has become one of the most popular sports games around. Adding cars to a game of football turned out to be a brilliant move that helped the game truly elevate its fun factor to a whole new level. Now, Rocket League is one of the most popular esports games around, with the gameplay loop remaining relatively unchanged years after the game’s release.
It seems that adding cars to any sport can make it infinitely interesting, which is the idea behind Turbo Golf Racing. This game wears its inspiration on its sleeve, letting players channel the fun and chaos of Rocket League but in a game of speed golf instead. Fans of Turbo Golf Racing should check out the following titles to enjoy a similar experience.
10 Motorstorm: Apocalypse
The Motorstorm series of racing games on the PS3 was pretty excellent, and it’s a shame that more people don’t talk about them. The first Motorstorm game was great, with its two sequels being pretty okay as well.
However, Motorstorm: Apocalypse was when the series became truly epic with its racing hazards. Having to avoid natural calamities, wars, and the like in this destructive title made for a great time that made every race feel truly dynamic and immersive.
9 Burnout Paradise
Burnout Paradise is one of the very best games in this beloved series. If you have either the Xbox Game Pass or an EA Play subscription, you have constant access to this brilliant title that deserves all the love and more.
Blasting through levels and taking out racers is a ton of fun in this game. It’s a gameplay loop that never ceases to be entertaining and shows why so many people love playing Burnout Paradise.
8 Mario Golf: Super Rush
Mario Golf: Super Rush features a Speed Golf that is very similar to the chaos present in Turbo Golf Racing. That being said, there’s no denying that Super Rush doesn’t justify its price tag, given the game’s bare bones content.
That being said, playing through Mario Golf: Super Rush is still a blast when everything clicks. You’ll still get everything that makes a speed round of golf so great, with a Mario spin to top it off.
7 Grand Theft Auto Online
The sheer chaos of Grand Theft Auto Online makes it a perfect candidate for games similar to Turbo Golf Racing. Of course, there are way more things that you can engage with in this mode, but this entry will focus solely on the racing.
The amazing driving mechanics of Grand Theft Auto 5 have helped the multiplayer shine with the sheer number of races and other game mods present for vehicle nuts. You will love zooming through tracks and trying to take your competitors down in these high-octane competitions.
6 Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
The idea of converting a game show into a massively multiplayer experience is something that people should have thought of way sooner. Fall Guys used this first mover advantage to great effect with this brilliant game.
Each segment of Fall Guys features games where contestants are eliminated until there is one final winner at the end. It’s a great gameplay loop that shows why players love Fall Guys so much.
5 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a kart racer absolutely brimming with content that you’ll want to check out. It’s the best racing game on the Nintendo Switch by a country mile.
With numerous characters, vehicles, maps, game modes, and everything else along the same lines, it’s easy to see why so many people love Mario Kart 8. This kart racing series has consistently been brilliant and provides for many memorable moments between friends.
Most people fondly remember the destructive gameplay of Twisted Metal. The fact that this series has not seen any modern representation is nothing short of a crime.
It’ll be a huge loss for the gaming industry if this series becomes a forgotten relic of the past. The vast number of memorable characters and the adrenaline-pumping gameplay of this series deserve a faithful revival.
3 Forza Horizon 5
Forza Horizon 5 was a monumental success upon launch, partly due to the game’s inclusion on the Xbox Game Pass. The sheer variety of races, a beautiful open world, and tight racing mechanics contributed to the highly positive critical reception and commercial performance.
You can try out different types of cars as you race through the many tracks present in this title. Forza Horizon 5 is simply a must-play for fans of racing games who want to see what the next step in this industry really is.
2 Carmageddon
When speaking of classic racing games that resemble a demolition derby, it’s impossible not to mention Carmageddon. This violent title had so much gore in it at the time that it had to be censored in many countries.
Replacing human pedestrians with zombies is a hilarious piece of censorship that has become iconic in its own right. If you want to enjoy a nostalgic romp through a violent racing game, you’ll have a ton of fun with Carmageddon.
1 Rocket League
Given how much Rocket League was praised early on in this list, it was only a matter of time before it would make an appearance. It’s the most obvious and apt recommendation for fans of Turbo Golf Racing.
The sheer chaos that can ensue during a match makes Rocket League an absolute blast. If you’re a fan of multiplayer arcade racing games with a touch of football, you will have a great time with this title.
