Titles might include racing games, where you feel the g-forces of high-speed chases, or flying simulations that make you feel like you’re soaring through the sky. The effects of movement, spins, and acceleration are what make these experiences so exhilarating. You can expect a heightened sense of realism, with many mentioning how “effects of movement and speed” made the adrenaline rush feel authentic.
