I guess I only want to play old school racing games now
It's the Steam Deck's fault. I picked up Valve's handheld with the aim of using it to play anything and everything, but instead I've used it almost exclusively to play topdown racer Circuit Superstars and Amiga-era throwback racer Horizon Chase Turbo.
Enter Super Woden GP 2, which just released yesterday. It's a blend of Circuit Superstars with the simple car tweaking and progression of early Gran Turismo and it's already heating up my Deck.
