7 Reasons Why Project Cars 3 is a Must-Try Series
Changes in a game are certainly needed to keep the series fresh and relevant among other games. However, these changes are not always welcomed with open arms, especially if the changes made are felt too far or “not what the fans want“

The same thing also happened to the 3rd iteration of the racing game Project Cars, which received a lot of backlash because it was felt to be declining due to the decision of Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco to make the game more “arcade” even before the game was released.
However, in fact after trying this game for a few hours. Project Cars 3 offers a lot of new interesting and fun things that make the game considered very worth playing both for new players who are afraid to try simulation games and old players who still want to experience a decent racing game.
And here are 7 reasons why Project Cars 3 is a must-try game series!
1. The perfect series to jump into simulation racing
This first point is of course aimed at new players who may have always been intimidated by simulation games and their communities that make it seem as if they can’t be played by new players. But Slightly Mad Studios proved they could make a friendly welcome for these new players.
This is because Project Cars 3 has a feature called First Time User Experience or FTUE which will guide new players to be able to choose which settings best suit what they want. Starting from the setting of the car to how the AI behaves during the race. And you are free to set it anytime when you feel that the race you are running is too easy or too difficult.
2. Friendly for those who don’t have a steering wheel
Another fear of new players, of course, is the use of the steering wheel which seems to be mandatory and makes other controllers irrelevant. Whereas gamers who have a steering wheel are certainly only a handful than those who play it with a joystick or with a keyboard.
But you don’t need to worry, because again the developer has done a lot of improvisation on the handling of the car, especially when used with devices that are not as accurate as the steering wheel. This makes the game now still more controllable even though using a joystick or keyboard.
3. Fun to drive but still challenging
As previously said, the SMS developer has improvised many things that make the game can be arranged to be fun to drive. Each car still has its own characteristics in the sense of driving, but now it is more “gentle” which makes driving a car in this game feel like working with the car you are driving, instead of fighting it like the previous series.
You can also combine it with enemy AI, which can now be adjusted to the level of difficulty and aggressiveness. You’re still learning to find the perfect cornering line but still want the enemy who is struggling to maintain his position? Then you can set the difficulty level to normal or beginner, but the aggressiveness of the AI to Hard.
4. Huge selection of cars to collect
The existence of the car in Project Cars before may feel less personal because it is used only as a tool to win the championship you are playing. In this third series, Bandai Namco finally made a car as something personal to you. Because you will later buy the car you want to modify it and make it your best car.
Not to mention there are a total of 211 cars in this game that you can collect from 6 different classes. What’s unique is that you can upgrade your favorite car until it can move up to a class above it. Similar to what you can do in Forza Horizon 4, you can build a Honda Civic or Toyota 86 to compete with sportscars or even supercars on top. And calm down, the upgrade system in this game is very simple and without weird things.
5. The customization is finally here

In addition to upgrading your car so that it can compete with super cars, you can also customize the car you have to your liking. Starting from paint with a variety of materials, livery, sponsor stickers, to number plates you can change according to your wishes. For the car itself, unfortunately, you can only change the wheels and tires used to support the visuals of your car. Or if you want your car’s appearance to change completely, you can convert your car into a racing car that will give your car a body kit that completely changes its appearance.
6. Spiritual Successor of NFS Shift
Of course, many already know this, especially the boss of the Slightly Mad Studios developer himself who said this. But for those who don’t know, Need For Speed’s Shift series was originally developed by this developer before finally releasing after the 2nd series and finally they made the Project Cars series.
Of course, with this statement you can better imagine what you will get in Project Cars 3. And indeed this game contains many things that will remind you of Shift 3, especially with how the cars in the game move, and also the “sense of speed” that used to be the hallmark of the Shift series.
7. Balanced racing game between simulation and arcade
In the end, Project Cars 3 did appear different from the previous series. Some things, of course, still remind you that this game is a Project Cars series through its visuals, as well as the realistic roar of each car’s engine, but on the other hand, the game feels very new, especially in terms of handling and using non-steering wheel controllers.
This is not a bad thing, because even more casual gamers will be able to enjoy this game well. Meanwhile, veteran players can still get the same good immersion as the previous series. The simplification of racing mechanics such as pit stops and tire conditions is absent and slightly reduces the simulation element in the game but does not necessarily injure the overall gameplay.
And those were 7 reasons why you should play Project Cars 3 for both beginners and veteran players. This game itself offers a completely new flavor to the Project Cars series. The races you go through are now fun, although still challenging for those who still want a simulation game like the previous Project Cars.
Owning a car now feels more personal because you can upgrade and modify it as you wish. And of course Project Cars 3 really wants to be a bridge for gamers who have never tried a simulation racing game to experience it for the first time. And also a new new entertainment for the veteran players.
