Not a lot that I can play now...
Firstly it was DiRT 4 and 5, couldn't get far on them. Had problems with the tutorial with 4 and was last place all the time at 5. When it got to the icicle track, that was it for 5.
Then it was WRC Generations but couldn't get far. Controls are really slippery, kept banging into walls, falling off the track, collision detection issues where I literally got stuck on the road and had to reset the car plus going up just a tiny slope causes the car to fly and spin around. Had it been real life, would have been a goner. Also tiny text doesn't help at all. Another fact was the career mode was recycled from WRC 10 that has some issues (game crashing with an error message was common and really annoying). Just had enough of the game and no more rally games now.
Very recently Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Back when I first played on this on the PS3 around 10-12 or so years ago (can't remember now), I found the game to be lukewarm. Not as good as they say but not a bad game. The remaster does look better from what I remember of the OG, can't complain graphically or control wise. Played both the PS4 and Switch versions, I couldn't do the first race on the Racer side on both consoles. Surprisingly did okay on the Cop side so far on the Switch version (more closer to the OG version technically). A far cry compared to the last time I played the game where it wasn't complete but was considered beaten. Shame that Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) never got the remaster treatment.
Going to be playing Need for Speed Heat & Rivals, Hotshot Racing, Dangerous Driving (Burnout but not Burnout), Pinball Arcade on the PS4 while the Switch is TT Isle of Man 1 & 2, Horizon Chase, Cruis'n Blast, MotoGP 18 on the Switch with some VN mixed in to see if I can play on them (or play on them still in the cases of NFS Rivals and Pinball Arcade). In the future; if it keeps up it's going to be just F1 games on the PS4 outside of 22, selected Mario games and maybe Burnout Paradise on the Switch at this point...
Update: Turns out that I couldn't play NFS Heat as the cops always got me before getting to the hideout aka the game is still in tutorial mode, the first Burning Lap (or whatever it is called aka driving on boost for a lap almost perfectly) is impossible for me in Dangerous Driving and can no longer play Hotshot Racing as it is the case of last place or ran out of time. NFS Rivals was okay but had the same issue as Hot Pursuit. Also played a bunch of old Atari games and went through the list from Flashback Classics 1 & 2. A good 90% are very hard to play now or are mainly multiplayer focused.
