If you’re looking for a realistic rally sim, this isn’t it. But if you want pure, chaotic fun that doesn’t take itself too seriously, Dirt 5 delivers in spades.

Visuals: The graphics are gorgeous. From muddy tracks to neon-lit urban circuits, the environments are stunning, especially with dynamic weather like snowstorms and rainstorms making everything feel alive.

Gameplay: It’s pure arcade madness. The driving feels loose and fun, and the emphasis on drift-heavy racing is satisfying. You don’t need to be a pro to jump in and start having a blast.

What's bad

AI: The AI can be weird. Sometimes they’re super aggressive, other times they’re brain-dead. It’s inconsistent and can be frustrating.

Career Mode: The story is meh. Sure, it’s got Troy Baker and Nolan North, but it doesn’t really add much. You’re just hopping from race to race, which is fine, but don’t expect an engaging narrative.

The good parts are the extreme environments, weather dynamics and thats about it. I don't know since when wide racetracks and drifting on low gripping surfaces for 80% of the races in better looking stock cars is the idendity of DiRT.

The game is in a bad state with random crashes in the mainmenu and graphical glitches where you need to end the race, cause you cannot see ♥♥♥♥. I also don't understand why you put offroad hillclimbing in the game when your physics model is unbelievable, unfun, not realistic and sluggish.

It's good to try something new, but it's not the customers fault if you cannot deliver.

good game better than cod
