Driveclub is the most underrated game of the year

I think quite a lot of people still like the track racers.  I know that nowadays there seems to be a trend for "open world" pretty much everything but for me, especially on the other PS systems the one game I looked out for on release was.....Ridge Racer.  To this day I think for OTT arcade racing, these still sit top of the pile (apart from the god awful Unbounded last gen).

I think Driveclub, now its all fully up and running, "kinda" fills the gap left by no RR on PS4.

I'm not saying Driveclub should have been an open world game. However, that might have been a good move considering Sony already has a track racer.

Here's the thing, Driveclub wanted to fall between arcade racer and sim. But its not a particularly fun arcade racer and it lacks the depth people want from racers today. NFS and The Crew do a much better job and filling the arcade racer gap.

Personally I think the best direction for Driveclub would have been open world and feel more like a sim racer. Hence, I'm saying Sony should have made their own Forza Horizon.
