8 Best Non-Racing Driving Games
Looking for something with a bit of a slower pace? These are the best driving games without racing.
Your actions in the game unlock traits and passive quirks that will help or hinder you by giving you extra points or cash, depending on your game choices. While not a comprehensive list, these traits can get you started on your trip, so let’s look at some of the best traits to get you to Keep Driving.

King Of The Road
You Can Drive Tired, But You Definitely Shouldn’t
King of the Road gives you the ability to drive while you’re tired instead of resting, but your durability and gas will take a hit from any threats you get into on the road.
You’ll have your work cut out for you to unlock this trait. You’ll have to unlock all your driving skills before it unlocks, meaning you’ll have to become one with the road for quite a while before you do. It’s a risky trait, but it can be helpful if you make it from one landmark to another in a pinch.

Ultimate Gourmet
Hard To Travel On An Empty Stomach
If you need a better excuse to grab your favorite snacks, a road trip is the perfect excuse! You’ll have to keep your glove compartment stacked with different snacks, and while it’s tempting to fill it to the brim with chips, doing so will give you the negative trait of Glutton, which makes you hungry more often.

Driving Sims are much more realistic than standard racing games – and that can make them so much more fun to play.
The best thing to do is to have an assortment of treats at your disposal. Chips are fine, but having some fruit or nuts can be clutch. Eating enough fruits and veggies can keep you full for longer, making your trip a little easier on your energy in the long run.

True Hiker
For When You Want To Venture Outside The Front Seat
Driving for hours on end is nice, but sometimes you want to stretch your legs and get the blood flowing back into those extremities! Sometimes, folks will send you to find items for them in the woods, giving you the perfect opportunity to get from behind the wheel and walk among nature for a little while and make some cash in the process.
Once you unlock True Hiker, it destroys a threat that attacks and destroys an armor of yours, which can quickly work out incoming threats on the road. Though, acquiring it is spooky, considering you’ll have to traverse the woods at night a few times to unlock the trait.

City Kid
City Traffic Sucks, Why Not Make It A Little Easier?
As you’re driving through various places, inspiration can strike. In real life, that can translate to writing a song or striking an epiphany of self-discovery. Keep Driving turns inspiration into points that work twofold. You can use them to reduce the energy used to work. The longer you work, the more money in your pocket for your travels.

Inspired Worker
Survival Is The Ultimate Motivator
Money doesn’t grow on trees or magically regrow in between the cracks of the seats. So, let’s pick up some jobs to refill our wallets! The jobs you can take vary, from delivering pizza and fuel to working at a pharmacy, and you’ll be able to work up some cash to continue on your journey in no time flat.
If you’re lucky enough to walk into work with some extra pep and a little extra inspired, you’ll unlock the Inspired Worker trait. Any job you work when this is active costs you less energy, meaning you’ll work a little smarter instead of harder.

Scavenger
If You Can’t Get The Cash, You Can Always Find It
Maybe you don’t feel like being held down by a 9-5 in between towns. Or delivering pizzas that you can’t take a bite of yourself. Maybe you want to live off the land for at least in a limited capacity. You’ll be able to grab some things from abandoned cars and sell them, maybe grab some stuff from the woods, but you’re better off working than trying to become a vagabond.

2
Carefree
Gives Your Wanderlust An Extra Boost
You can only experience your first road trip once, virtually or otherwise. While you will learn most of your experiences on the road, that doesn’t mean you’re headed out there wholly unprepared! Carefree is an innate trait that doubles the effect of another innate passive trait, Wanderlust.
Wanderlust gives you one energy point when you clear a road event in the daytime. So, coming out the gate, you’re clearing daytime road events with two energy points, which puts you at a net positive as long as you play your combat right.

Fast Learner
Put Your Nose In A Book In Your Spare Time
Even if you want to spend time putting the road behind you, sometimes it’s better to park the car and take a few moments to enjoy the peace and quiet of sitting still. Enjoy life and the cars passing you by, and maybe open that book sitting in your back seat since the last store stop.
Each time you read a book, you gain a skill point to level, depending on which skill you need for your trip. You’ll have to balance between putting your feet up and reading or putting the pedal to the metal and making it to your next stop. The game is forgiving, but only just so. Make sure you plan accordingly.
