I've been glued to BeamNG.drive, ever since I finally broke down and decided "it's not gonna get much cheaper than this" during the Steam sale.

It's exactly, precisely what I thought it would be. Half completely freeform "let's crash cars and watch them crumple in slow motion" and half "let's do these scenarios." Flip back and forth between the two, and it's suddenly "oh, SHIT, how did three hours go by already???"

I'll get around to poking my nose into the modding scene, soon enough, too. I haven't even touched that side of it, yet.

Also, the game apparently has VR support, which I didn't realize until I bought it. I haven't bothered trying that out, since I also don't have my driving wheel set up, at the moment. Driving games with a controller are basically the only category of VR content that can give me the ol' lunch-launch-itis.
