There aren't enough racing games that put a strong focus on storytelling. In a genre dominated by the likes of Forza Horizon 5, The Crew Motorfest, and Dirt Rally 2, it's always worth noting when a racer pops up that places an emphasis on its story, like this year's Pacific Drive or 2011's Driver: San Francisco. This is part of what makes Heading Out, a driving game that pulls from Grand Theft Auto V's crime focus and RPG game branching plotlines, so noteworthy.
