    Middle of the road rally game, nothing really stands out with almost no risks being taken in the gameplay design and overall feel of the game.

    The only saving grace for this game is the driving mechanics and the audio, they feel great and give you a good sense of driver feedback, this sadly is not enough to justify the full purchase price of the game especially with a "year pass" attached to it.

    TL;DR Stay way for now, this game will go on sale and I predict relatively quickly on the steam store.    … Expand

    Graphics 7/10 for 2019, just take a look at Horizon or Project CARS.
    Controls 6/10, Awful for Steering system, OK for keyboard
    Audio 8/10. Sounds can change depending on the weather, road or grass. Condition of your car, engine, etc. can also change the sound of car.
    Feel and feedback from game 3/10, even with vibrating steering system and VR goggles there's no feeling that you're in the game.
    Price 2/10, not worth it

    Game was made only in order to get profit, not to bring in new feelings or technologies.    … Expand

    Sadly, it's probably the best rally sim out there at the moment. Still not much of a sim though. The physics are more rules based than physics based just like every other codemasters title. It does have some nice long rally stages and the graphics are ok but the handling... it's just another iteration of the same old floaty, disconnected "physics" that codemasters is famous for.

    Decent game let down by bizarre micro transactions and always online drm which means that your initial purchase only really buys you half the game. Better to wait until the full game, probably called game of the year, is released. The developers should take note from recent successful and profitable games like 'the Outer worlds' that give the full game on purchase. .

El resultado es que Dirt 2.0 debería ser más bien un dlc del anterior, no un juego independiente como tal.

    Lo cual se agrava al comprobar que el aspecto técnico tampoco ha mejorado. Gráficamente fue un juego muy bueno hace tiempo, pero ese tiempo le está pasando factura y ya no está a la altura de lo que se espera de un juego en 2019. El sonido si que cumple perfectamente, aunque la música sigue siendo poco inspiradora.

    Dirt Rally 2.0 is a racing "simulator" with weak and missing force feedback with wheels, flickering on triple screens, no VR, lag on high end gaming rigs, sound issues and slip and slide arcade asphalt physics.

    Force feedback is not just weak but missing. You can feel the slight pressure of the wheel, but you cannot feel the road. With ffb setting all the way up you can crash into a boulder at high speeds and feel nothing. In DR1 if you crank up ffb settings all the way it is so strong you can barely hold onto the wheel.

    Many Logitech wheel users are unable to adjust steering sensitivity. You must turn your wheel 180 degrees in order to get the in game wheel to turn 90, and this is with steering saturation all the way up. Steering is fine with my xbox controller.

    Single player requires a constant internet connection. Server issues is causing a number of issues - like being unable to play single player, race results being reset and even progress being completely lost. So even if you do have good internet you are not safe from these problems.

    Asphalt has poor grip and unrealistic slip and slide physics. In my research I read that Codemasters knows there is a problem and knows how to fix it, BUT that would require programming the AI to drive on it properly. So instead of properly programming the AI they give us arcade asphalt physics.

    Graphically DR2 looks somewhere between Dirt 4 and Dirt Rally 1 - which is a downgrade. The race marshal has the exact same face in DR1 and is the same for every race. Like this guy travels all over the world and marshals every single rally race on the planet. How the graphics get worse but the system requirements keep increasing is a mystery to me.

    Lag and stutter. Many are experiencing stuttering from every few seconds, to every thirty seconds. This is even on high end gaming rigs and with graphic settings turned down.

    It's really annoying that every professional reviewer gave this good reviews. I've unsubbed from every sellout youtuber that gave this a positive review. I trusted these sellout liars to tell the truth. Never again.

    I know a lot of people will defend the game and say you have to wait for the first few updates, or the game isn't finished yet. This is NOT early access. It's a game being sold at a AAA price. Only in the game industry has it become normal to sell unfinished broken products. Imagine going to a restaurant and they serve you raw meat, or buying a movie or book that is unfinished. In any other industry it is unacceptable - and it should be the same in the game industry.

    Overall DR2.0 is a simcade that needs at least another year of development. I was lucky enough to be able to refund. Maybe I'll try it again this Christmas when it's $10.    … Expand

    For £45 you are being served reheated leftovers from a couple of years ago - and not even all of them. You have to pay extra for the remaining ones. At least the dessert is free - track degradation - the only new aspect of gameplay.

    And how would you expect such a meal to look like? That's right, it looks dated even at ultra.

    Lacks content, worth ~£20.

    It's an arcade simulator. I get what they're trying to do though, appease both sides of the gaming market. However, it doesn't work well as there are no people in the middle. Make it an arcade game, or make it a simulator. The only other issue I can think of is always-online DRM. The solution to this, buy the game, but download the pirated copy to eliminate that issue.

    If you like racing, own a force feedback steering wheel? This is a great game. Be aware that this is just about the rally racing itself. No stories or unlocks/skill trees etc.. Only should have had 2 more maps in base game. For FFB steering wheel owners: download latest driver (otherwise ffb probably doesn't work).

I was under the impression that the Dirt Rally series would be the sim version of the game and just the regular Dirt series was the arcade version. I guess I was wrong...

    Lets start with times and balances, Codemasters is all over the place with ai times. I feel like they dumbed down the game to make it easier for people to play and in return they altered the ai times to beat considerably. So basically they added a ton of stability and traction to the game and jacked up the times to beat is what I'm experiencing.

    Now it seems like a lot of cars are missing, I'm getting the impression that we lost a bit of inventory and that inventory ended up in a marketplace. It seems as if they are starting to lean towards some of the same shady practices that other developers use to sort of kindly force people to buy cars off the store. Certain races with very limited options unless you purchase them, if you're going to half bake a game then half bake the price as well please. These types of developer choices ruin reputations with the player base, I would urge Codemasters to stop since their games are not popular enough to support these types of practices. Not only that it's shady as you can get.

    The game is a hybrid of Dirt Rally with much more control and stability but much faster career competing times. Faster than actual world record times..LOL!! Hilarious.

    Overall if you're a fan of Dirt Rally this game is nothing like it as in terms of stability, traction and control. It's very arcade like and Codemasters is starting to lean towards the marketplace more and more taking cars away. If the times were balanced better and more cares available from the start for specific classes I would recommend. As of right now I would pass unless you get a great sale.    … Expand

    Some "game-ish" features spoil the true rally experience. The damage model is on the forgiving side, and once you develop your team's repairing skills it's impossible to run out of time for repairs between stages.
    Locations are beautifully crafted and rich in details, but stages are too short. I think the longest stages are in the 16-18 km range, whereas the average is less than 10km.
    Although tyre wear is there, you always have enough tyre changes to get a fresh set at every service area.

    About the pricing policies, the only way to get a reasonable price is to put the full game including all DLCs in your steam wishlist and wait for at least a 50% discount.

    PROs:
    - convincing physics
    - visuals, audio and FFB give a great immersion
    - excellent VR performance
    - the full game has a good variety of locations and cars

    CONs:
    - gameish features prevent a true rally experience: forgiving damage model, easy repairs
    - short stages
    - combined price of base game + all DLCs is unjustifiable    … Expand

    2 часть игралась проще своего предшественника. Появились уровни сложности (в виде ии)! Графика кажется мыльной, хоть и высокие настройки, но освещение - класс.

    Brilliant. Superb feel to the cars, excellent stage design, love the visuals! Rallying feels incredible with a wheel. Absolutely worth buying today without question. Grab it if you dont already have it.

    There is a lot to hate about this game, the always online thing does not bother me, apart from when Racenet goes down, which it seems to a lot sadly, and you lose progress and get given a time for 800th place when you were in the top 50 with one event to go.

    The DLC model has been rightly panned by most, releasing a game with new content is great, but then tying players into a DLC paywall model which is basically all old content with some new stuff mixed in is weak at best and downright rude at most.

    The new stages are good, but tend to be either fast or slow, meaning bunches of very slow low gears bends, or very fast sections, not much in between like the first game.

    Physics are a little better, the poor cars from the first game have been improved, the track condition thing is not much of a big deal really.

    But some things are annoying, odd penalties for very little, grass that is as slippy as ice in 100 degree heat in Australia, sides of roads that are concrete but look like piles of sand or grass, not being able to use your own car for practice, yet being forced to grind for hours to upgrade tour car to be able to compete in events against other players.

    All in all, this is basically a giant patch for Dirt Rally, same vars, stages, but some new ones and a much improved rallycross, but other than that, it is the same game really.    … Expand

    Giving it a 9 because I got the GOTY edition for £12, and using a G29 wheel, this is the most immersively fun gaming experience I've ever had. Locations, cars, graphics and physics are all superb. I mean, the graphics have some lighting issues, and apparently RBR had better physics, but I can't give it less than a 9 when I have had as much fun as I have.

    This is one of those games that induces mixed feelings. The core gameplay is fantastic - most of the problems that plagued the original (tarmac physics, roadside banks that launch the car like a Saturn V etc.) have been ironed out, the career mode was improved upon and the car/country selection was expanded to create one of the best racing sims ever.

The way it was delivered to its core audience, however, is regrettable to say the least. I never thought Codemasters, the one company I would trust with this sort of stuff, would implement such extensive microtransactions as they have. 20 dollars for a one year pass? 2 dollars or so for a single car? Even though the GOTY edition is selling for 55 USD as of now, these were (and still are) egregious prices. I understand why they did it - Dirt 4 underperformed massively in terms of sales, so the team probably needed some quick cash to be able to keep the series going - but the way it was done, coupled with the always-online career mode, leaves a sour taste on what is otherwise a terrific game. Were it not for my love of Codies, I'd struggle to rate this higher than a 7.… Expand

    The game is very nice. But you have to buy all DLC to enjoy it. I don't really like this kind of marketing.
    To be clear, I LIKED the game very much but I suggest to buy the GOTY edition with all dlc inside.
    It's not optimized (50 to 100 fps, average 70) on my system: r7 3700x, rtx 2080, 32 gb at 3400MHz (in 2560x1440p)

    Probably the last good Dirt Rally game which tried to be more realistic. But since it is too difficult for most players, the newer games are getting more arcade again.

    -Very very very very bad physics model, you flip and roll the car constantly with tiny bumps and against things like cones and hay bales. If not that you spin.

    -Game is incomplete by design and they tease you with cars that are only available in paid for DLC

    As often is the case with Codemasters, Dirt Rally 2.0 failed to properly build upon the success of its predecessor. Even if we disregard the blatant DLC-milking, there’s still the issue of quirky physics and poor sound effects. [Issue#237, p.42]

    Dirt Rally 2.0 will not become a cult hit like Colin McRae Rally 2.0 did. Still, if you’re tired of the original Dirt Rally, don't miss this sequel — decent rally simulators are a very rare breed these days.

    An improvement in all aspects, but above all a great ride to test your skills. Just a pity for those business shenanigans that make the content lag behind the form by more than just a few milliseconds. [Issue#294]
