Open-ended, sandbox sports games. SSX, Skate 3, Steep, are a few off the top of my head. I remember the Steep devs made a BMX game that was similar a few years ago. I tried it but I just didn't find it nearly as fun as Steep was. They don't have to be extreme sports either, I think more traditional sports would be fun too. I like it when they're unrealistic and over-the-top too. I love playing Skate 3 and just listening to music and doing inhuman tricks. I've never played it but I've heard the NBA Jam series is like this.
edit: Wreckfest is also sort of in that realm. I'd love to play more racing games that aren't constantly trying to be simulators. Trackmania is the only one I can think of that's entirely divorced from being a simulator.
Checkout Distance on Steam. It's definitely up there in terms of unique racing games.
Split/Second was also a really interesting take on racing, I wish they had released DLCs or something to add more maps, the way that game worked with the crazy visuals to open up new shortcuts and modify the track midrace was an awesome idea
I really wish Blur actually did well back when it was around. By far the coolest take on a Mario Kart-like game I've ever played.
Never heard of blur, looked it up, you might enjoy https://store.steampowered.com/app/396900/GRIP_Combat_Racing/
Check out Trail Out. It's one of the few games trying to give us that kind of racing game these days.
I didn't even find the Steep game entertaining mate, maybe it is because I never played SSX to begin with, but hell the latter still calls my attention!
