I didn’t really know what to expect when I picked up NASCAR 25 a few weeks ago. To be honest, I haven’t spent meaningful time with a NASCAR game since the 2000s — back when NASCAR Thunder 2004 and NASCAR 06: Total Team Control were my go-tos. So I’ll admit, I don’t have much of a frame of reference for what the more recent entries have been like. Still, that didn’t stop me from enjoying NASCAR 25 for what it is and being pleasantly surprised by its offerings.
