DiRT Rally for PC, PS4 and XONE is the next installment in the popular game series featuring car rallies. The British studio Codemasters is responsible for creating the production, as well as the previous games of the cycle; they are also considered to be the leading experts in this genre of video games.

The developers have put a great deal of effort to make the game as realistic as possible, the driving system has been rebuilt practically from scratch. The new system takes into consideration the changing states of the surface, as well as the gravel gathering on the treads of the tires of our vehicle. Such mechanics as Traction Control, ABS and Stability Control will also be available to the player allowing for a better driving experience. The cars you drive will become damaged the longer you stay on the track, you can repair any defects by allowing the mechanics to fix them, it is possible to hire up to four of them and each of them will require payment for their services and expertise; however, they are also capable of upgrading your vehicle and, upon leveling up, they will unlock new parts for your car.

DiRT / WRC Game Series

Series DiRT is the direct successor to the series Colin McRae Rally, launched in 1998 by Codemasters. When in 2004 the series' patron Colin McRae abandoned WRC racing in favor of the Dakar Rally and the X-Games series, the developers decided to change the direction of its development, enriching the game with off-road rallies and increasing the range of available vehicles to include off-road cars, trucks and rovers. The new game also received a significant name DiRT.

PlayStation LifeStyle: 8.5 / 10 by Paulmichael Contreras

This is the game rally fans have been waiting for. DiRT Rally boasts a simple title that reflects its deceptively simple goal: to be the best rally game, or even the best racing game, released to date. While they may fall a little short of being the best racing game ever made due to its purposely limited scope, DiRT Rally is by far the best rally game we've ever seen. DiRT Rally sports world-class visuals, visceral, challenging racing, and true-to-life audio design. This is really a complete package for rally fans the world over.

COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Sidd Masand

DiRT Rally is a game that probably won't appeal to a lot of casual gamers. Dirt Rally really feels like it's been made for that core audience that loves realistic racing games like Gran Turismo.

Dirt Rally isn't deep in every area, but the gameplay alone makes this my favorite rally game

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Better Support for Different Controllers: There is a call for improved keyboard controls and more options for adjusting sensitivity.

  • Expanded Track Variety: Players noted a lack of diversity in track designs, with many sections repeating, which can detract from long-term enjoyment.
  • Improved Physics: There are requests for more realistic vehicle physics, particularly regarding handling and stalling behavior, to enhance immersion and gameplay realism.

Summary

  • Overall, while DiRT Rally is praised for its authentic rally experience and engaging gameplay, it faces criticism for technical issues, limited controller support, and a need for updates.
