    Dirt 5 is an at times gorgeous and fun racer, but the uninspired campaign and a lackluster multiplayer mode leaves much to be desired.

It's unpolished, collisions often have no sound effect. Driving through deep water has no sound effect and doesn't slow or effect the car in any way. Career is terrible, nothing like the old games. I hate it when game franchises go backwards. Did no one on the dev team sit down and play their old games and try to understand what made them great? Gutted.… Full Review »

It's just not as good as Dirt 3 and after 7 hours I just got a little bored and decided to dash for the end rather than try every race. Now uninstalled and I can't see myself playing it again.

    Graphics are good and nicely vibrant. Although in quality mode there is a hit to the frame rate when things get busy.

    This is an arcade racer rather than a sim but the complete indestructibility of your car ruins the fun in some ways as you just shove your way to the front and use the barriers to get around some corners more effectively.

    No replays - this is a real shame, particularly considering the graphics. I personally also miss the old flashbacks - at least give people the option of them.

    Buggy - crashes quite often (about every 45 minutes of play time for me) and one race would just keep re-setting half way through and never let me finish it no matter how many times I tried. Save game corrupted at one point but managed to auto recover.

    I'd personally recommended waiting to buy it until it's significantly discounted.    … Full Review »

    It's very difficult to rate this game without taking into account the game breaking issues around game crashes and save file corruptions. IfIt's very difficult to rate this game without taking into account the game breaking issues around game crashes and save file corruptions. If you're playing this game on PS5 you will get frequent crashes after finishing a race. Every time you crash like this there's a chance your save file will get corrupted. Eventually, it will get you and your entire progress will be completely wiped out. If I was rating this game as a working game, I'd give it an 8/10. Fantastic arcade racer. Some great track design. Vibrant graphics. I thought long and hard about my score, worrying it was too harsh, but ultimately the game on PS5 IS completely unplayable as you will eventually lose all your progress and have to start from scratch. Until this is resolved the game cannot be recommended.… Full Review »
