This game is hard. I was winning this first championship (the one with the slowest cars and worst opponents) until I got to Sweden, just keeping it off the sides and going in a straight line is damn near impossible but you can't really go any slower and still have a chance: |

I read a review where this was described as the Bloodborne of driving games. Which is utter bollocks because unlike Bloodborne it's both excellent and fun. To be honest I haven't yet come across the super steep learning curve that some reviews describe either. If you were to approach it like a normal racing game and attempt to not leave any hundredths of a second on every corner then you wouldn't get very far at all. But from what I've seen so far it seems to be designed perfectly to allow you to progress and win races mostly just by actually staying on the road, listening to the co-driver, paying attention to the standings and going only as fast as you need to in order to remain in front. The co-driver's notes are excellent too, each set is complete and unique for each course rather than just being the same little snippets replayed for every corner. The online events are pretty great, there's a daily wager event where you can bet a load of your credits and then you have one go at a stage and the return depends on where you come in the rankings. No restarts, you do your time and that's that. There are also weekly and monthly events that work in a similar way, again so far I've found that going reasonably quick and not crashing will get you into the top tier of rewards, even the top few percent, although this will likely get tougher as people either give up or realise what it is that they're meant to be doing. But yeah, best rally game ever for my money and by some margin. |

Obviously that would be absurd but the comparison was in relation to a specific point. Those games are notorious amongst RPGs for the way they punish mistakes, for being difficult and rewarding patience (which I just didn't have) and the reviewer was put in mind of it whilst playing this. I just haven't found it to be the case so far. |

I'm getting a bit quicker but frustratingly am still not Ari Vatanen: Bloody love this game, though. I think it might very well be my favourite racing game of all time. It's actually terrifying (especially the RWD cars) once you start to realise how quick the car can go round some of the corners but only if it's positioned well with the tail hanging out and the back wheels scrabbling through the gravel to find the grip. String a few of these quick corners together though and you start feeling like you're clinging on for dear life, knowing that if you don't ease off a bit then you're surely going to end up in a tree with a fucked car. I don't think any game recreates the feeling of driving like a total cunt down the lanes better then this one does. If a game was going to get me to pony up daft money for a wheel it would definitely be this but the pad works well enough and instead it's got me seriously thinking about saving up the money for a treat to myself and doing a day here instead: http://www.forestrally.co.uk/ |

Richard Burns Rally is good, but it's old and you have to hack it to get it working properly in Windows 10. I reckon I'll stump up the cash. |

I snagged this on a Steam special offer earlier today, £12. Quite bastard hard innit? Any kind of damage inflicted on your car pretty much knacks you for that stage, and you can't necessarily fix it properly before the next one. Also, I could only afford to choose from three horseshit 1960s cars which are about fifty times slower than the actual real car I drive at actual real speeds to work every day. The meat and veg of the driving itself is very good though, and the whole thing is a delight in understatement after the increasingly preposterous IN YOUR FACE PUT IT ON YEWTOOB nonsense of the main DiRT series. I shall persevere. |

It's definitely a step in the right direction simulation-wise. Although some of the shunts you can endure and keep driving on afterwards are not wholly accurate. It's quite an experience in VR. |
