This isNever bought a Dirt Game since Dirt Rally (PSVR version) but as this was only racing game at launch, took a shot. I am so glad I did. This is like the DriveClub that was meant to be, only wider variety of vehicle types and surfaces. Silky smooth 60FPS graphics in quality mode (same in online races).
   
   Wheel support is fantastic with good handling feel over different surfaces and conditions and FFB works nicely with a T300RS Thrustmaster.
   
   The game’s soundtrack is also epic.
   
   The dev team are fairly local to where I live and I am so glad they are back on track with this title. I have just spent 5hrs solid and I’m addicted to it. If only DriveClub could be re-released on PS5 with 60FPS, that was the only thing stopping the title being a huge system seller for PS4 and Pro!
   
   As a launch title for PS5, I think it has the best graphics on any title, including Miles Morales & Demon Souls ! I don’t think Dirt 5 marketing team have really promoted this as well as they should have. I was totally not expecting the title to be this good. Superb
   
   EDIT : some slowdown has been introduced in latest patch that wasn’t there previously, so would deduct 2 points for that. 8/10 currently… Expand

   I wasn't a big fan of Dirt 4. But wow this brings me back to the days of going to an arcade and playing a racer. The sound and visuals/tracksI wasn't a big fan of Dirt 4. But wow this brings me back to the days of going to an arcade and playing a racer. The sound and visuals/tracks are really fun to play. I hear there are some issues with not having fully unassisted steering, doesn't bother me. I wish there were more cars but i guess i'll have to wait for the new Gran Turismo, but in the mean time this quinces my thirst.… Expand

   Dirt started pretty well for me. I enjoyed pretty much everything. The style, the cars, the engine sound, the different type of races and theDirt started pretty well for me. I enjoyed pretty much everything. The style, the cars, the engine sound, the different type of races and the handling felt pretty good, but it didn't last long.
   
   It didn't took long to become repetitive. Most vehicles don't really feel like a different drive experience. I expected the game to get more intense, but everything remained the same. Slow speeds, drift, hold the trigger and wait for the race to finish.
   
   Gymkhana was the worst mode the game could have, specially being tied to a trophy. But if I even mention trophies, let's talk about the 1000 miles trophy that take nearly forever to naturally get. At some point you will have absolutely everything done, completely, you're done with the game, you've beaten every possible challenge, but you still only have about 400-500 miles driven. Meaning the amount of time it took you to beat everything is the same amount of time it will take you to complete a single trophy that should have been half of what it demands.
   
   That was a bad touch, and it is indeed a part of the game, but I also don't think trophy difficulties are tied to game quality so I won't count this one in, but I needed to let it out of my chest regardless.
   
   The game isn't accomplishing much unfortunately, specially from the same guys behind the awesome Colin McRae games. When you're in the 20's competing with massive racing games you can't focus on a single racing type and be mediocre about it. Not when you have racing games that are not rally games, but still surpass Dirt in rally mechanics. Not when you have games that are better at being Dirt than Dirt itself.
   
   Online was also very vague. Matchmake, race, bye. No lobbies, no meetings, nothing interesting or compelling to make people return.
   
   I can't say I didn't have fun, I did for the first 2 hours. Unfortunately.… Expand

   Icebreaker (because it's on ice) and Pathfinder (which is a very nice change of pace, but far to easy) are the only exceptions.
   
   everything else is just 12 cars doing a race.
   rarely is this a point-to-point affair, 90% of these are just "do a couple of laps on a generic off-road circuit". You can get different vehicle types, but again, most feel pretty much the same. there are exceptions, but they're rare and far between.
   I've also found out that on the selection screen, you might get several class options, but the game gives you the locked options of the first class (making you think all the next cars are locked) before it gives you the unlocked ones of a second. If you're not aware of this, you can get far in the game, without ever driving some of the classes available in the game.
   
   The AI is terrible. you win more races by mimicking their bashy-smashy attitude to get in front, and staying there because they often just stick there, rather running 4-wide than actually trying to pass.
   
   The game also tries to get you involved into a rivalry between some veteran and some rising champion by making you a rookie that beats both of them (stop me if you've heard this one). problem is: I've never raced either of them, to my knowledge.
   
   The game looks great, and the changing weather and day/night cycle are great, but then the races are often way too short to make those feel not awkward.
   
   Codemasters seems to have no clue of what to do with the numbered Dirt series, with every game being something different. But this one is clearly the worst of the bunch.… Expand

When you're not connected online the game works, but the very second you connect online in the PS5 network settings, the game crashes to the PS5 menu, rendering the online portions unplayable and literally IMPOSSIBLE to access. What idiots are supposed to be testing this game out? Fire all of them they're incompetent.… Expand
