    It's sad to read so many reviews from the developers here and on Steam, when they should focus on fixing the MANY problems and bugs their game has.
    How can I believe any user could give an 8, 9 or 10 to a rally game with these features:
    - No support for some of the most important wheels on market. - Motors sounding like blenders. - Zero sound of tires on the road. - Barely no sound

    - Barely no sound of down gear shift.
    - No v-sync for directx 11.
    - No TV/broadcast camera in replays.
    - Long loading times in car selection menus.
    - Some menus simply don't register your choices.
    - Inconsistent FPS, despite the computer you're playing.
    - Bad implemented reset-on-track limits.

    I was so excited to play this game, I've bought it on day one.
    It's a shame that al those game-breaking problems became evident so quickly.
    Try harder next time, Kylotonn.
    We need more decent rally games on market.

    This could have been a good game. sadly, there's an issue preventing me from testing it deeper ...
    I play with a gamepad, an old logitech rumblepad2. The game doesnt offer the possibility to rebind gaz/brakes onh the right stick. This is so much shocking ... i just tried some of the titorial missions. Having to use right and left triggers for those actions AND NOT LETTING YOU REBIND TO

    BORING !!!
    You must at least do 50 boring races before you can tune your vehicle, among that, the races are all the same, and the car's physics are bad, the car is too heavy... no sensation

    Don't believe these 8/9/10 reviews. They're posted by the developers of this game (at least most of them). Also: DON'T BUY THIS GAME. It's made by company that didn't even have a proper car game in their portfolio before this abomination.

    WRC 5 leaves a really mixed taste. Deep down it is quite enjoyable arcade racing, but as a whole it feels really rushed and made with a tight budget. Especially annoying is that Neste Oil Rally is still pretty far away from the real thing. And please, forget the last-gen consoles on the next game and put full effort on current devices. [Nov 2015]

    There is still fun to be had driving a car around smartly designed tracks, and WRC 5: FIA World Rally Championship might just do enough to occupy your time for a few days, but feeling rough around the edges, this is one game that might end up in the dust once its 2016 rivals arrive.

    WRC 5 looks really good. Changing the development team to Kylotonn had a clear impact on the quality of the game. Right now there's no point in comparing the new WRC game with the early-access DIRT. The most important thing to remember is this: WRC 5 is simply good. Still pretty far from ideal but a big step in the right direction.
