    After Descenders I ended up with Lonely Mountains Downhill and enjoyed it quite a bit more even with the low poly graphics. It's a pretty chill game overall but if you want to go for achievements it can get a tiny bit sweaty.

    The class C cars seem extremely easy to drive at first and you initial feel like you'll breeze through the game but once you start getting to the higher class cars, precision matters a great deal. If anyone picks it up and has trouble, Sean A on YouTube provided some great tips and controls overlays.

    One bug to add would be that hyperlinks from within the notifications area ends up crashing the app or reverts back to the main page

    Really surprised not to see anyone mention anything in the Need for Speed series or really anything much in the racing genre. Granted these are really just a mix CD to match the game but I don't think it's been done quite as well as these three:

    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
    Need for Speed: Underground
    Test Drive: Off Road

    The Buzzhorn - Disconnected

    For any fans of post-grunge, I think it fits the genre nicely. The only reason it might not have completely flown under the radar, and how I found out about it, is a single hit that was on the Need For Speed 2 video game. I think the tempo variances on a straight listen through are pretty well spaced.

    Dorfromantik is a great Catan like tile laying game with pretty calming graphics and music. There are challenges to be completed or you can just create whatever landscape you wish.

    The good news is that because of the legal limbo, they are free to play now if the low graphics don't bother you too much http://nolfrevival.tk/

    It's not exactly the same, but a more modern game that scratches the SkiFree itch for me has been Grand Mountain Adventure
