    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. Graphics are very average for a 2019 racing game, this is extremely pronounced when the game has you driving through the heavy rain weather scenario, the rain looks terrible and very low res.

    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
    Conclusion:
    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. .

    Grafika jest niedorobiona , reakcja kontrolera niedopuszczalnie opuzniona , statystyki wyssane z palca a czasy przejazdu SI wyciągnięte z "D" . Deszcz morze wypalić oczy i wygląda jak deszcz meteorytów. Gra wygląda ładnie gdy się nie poruszasz. Wyceniona o wiele za wysoko. Skok na kasę .

La cantidad de circuitos que se reutilizan tal y como eran es enorme, los coches lo mismo, las mecánicas reciben alguna actualización (un poco en el sistema de progresión, más información que nos da el copiloto) pero ya. 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    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

    I have to give it a 0 because of always online single player. Love dirt and codemasters games. Hopefully this low user sore will stop them from implementing anti consumer policies in the future. If not then its the end for codemasters.

    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.

Next, why do I have to press reverse twice to actually go reverse? One press brakes, the other finally shifts it to reverse... Poor decision. The full speed reverse sound is laughable.

Steering offroad feels like you don't have front wheels at all. Steering in corners with no gas applied also feels like you don't have wheels to steer. And whose bright idea was to limit the career if you're not 3rd in the previous section? Give people the freedom to try the whole game. It's not a demo. Where is the tutorial? At least to explain the letters and numbers around those arrows. At times the physics was also retarded. Getting the car up the 60 degree slope to sit at the top is simply impossible unless you have a tank. All in all, nice try but many problems no adressed.… Expand

    Career require online.
    Sound disappear randomly.

    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.

    Graphics looks like from 2012 era, game is poorly re-textured and optimized with weird colors and lighting, massive stuttering, always on-line feature, buggy car handling, black DLC strategy, bad weather effects - rain looks like big rods falling from the sky. This couldn't be done by the people who released first Dirt Rally game.

    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).

    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]
