    Fun for a while and then gets too samey. with a lack of depth. 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    Fun for a while and then gets too samey. with a lack of depth.

    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.    … Expand

    Very unbalanced AI
    Too crowded with cars at the start of races
    Arcade all the way, realism absurdly low
    Very few relevant challenges, short career Stupid challenges such as "collide when airborne" on tracks without jumps. The worst game in the Dirt series by miles. Weighing in the instabilities it is a 1. Stay away!

    Meh. Bought this since I borrowed a racing seat, wheel and pedals. Next gen game? Really? Graphics are mediocre on PS5. Driving is easy and fun, but I got bored after driving the eight first races. It would be cheaper to insert coins in a real arcade machine..

    Worst arcade racer ever. Feels like Codemasters is dead and dont want to make racing games anymore. Maybe they sold it to EA because this company has begun to sinking to the bottom.

    Man, this is dull. 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.

    It'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.It's very difficult to rate this game without taking into account the game breaking issues around game crashes and save file corruptions.

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.… Expand

    This game is broken on PS5, it crashes every few races and from time to time it corrupts your saved game meaning you have to restart the career from zero.

    A rally game with no rally? It's just racing??? Why? Where is my co-driver?

    I want to give it a lower score but the racing is decent and the graphics are nice, but it feels like an arcade racer. I was hoping for something much more realistic and rally based.

    Never 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

    Sure it's pretty, I think the frame rate is nice & it's great that there is a new Dirt game available to play on the new consoles...
    Problems are the AI isnt very smart, there doesn't seem to be any replays so you can watch your races & there isn't any solo rally in the Career Mode from what I've found...
    So far I had more fun with Dirt 2 & Dirt 4...

    Pros:
    + Haptic feedback
    + Playground mode
    + Cockpit view
    + Accessible and arcadey racer

    So-So:
    - Rubberband A.I?

    Cons:
    - Third person view obstructs vision a lot of times, times where cockpit views are not the best option, ethier

    This game should be up there as a showpiece for the ps5 controller, would buy this game full price just for the haptic feedback.

This 'how do you do fellow kids' festival colorful Fortnite-like aesthetic is already nauseous. As if the game was made by a bunch of old farts, who puffed up and tried to make it stylish, fashionable, youthful. Inside Forza Horizon - Flatout 3 outside. Stupid jokes of some type of degenerate DJs or podcasters, this pink-and-yellow-green trickery, the design of the cars themselves is insane - some fictional tractors with square angular wheels, hearses with protruding lanterns and other deformities. The graphics and the sfx itself roughly correspond to the level of the Drive Club in 2014, only in DС the textures and skyboxes were not so shamefully made. It would seem that the weather and lighting were made cool, but even here it is a farce. From sandy trails in Italy, which for some reason is covered with snow, suddenly stopping and beginning showers and other snowfalls in a thunderstorm, I laughed so hard. Aesthetically and visually, the game is disgusting.

    In terms of physics and race mechanics, this is a case where rally and off-road racing is better done even in NFS Heat! Total toyness, there is no feeling of contact of the car with the track - if there is dirt or snow, then it seems to clip into the texture. There is no balance, no sense of challenge or difficulty. AI degenerates unable to make any competition, mindlessly pushing and hopelessly lagging behind by half-lap at the very beginning of the race. The game modes have been simplified, but the gymkhana suffered the most. There is no feel of progression, there is no incentive to go through all 125 (!) copy-paste events of this squalor, too. All these unlockable stickers and icons can only be sticked on developers forehead, because the customization here is just as shameful as everything else. I remember Dirt 3 and my hair stood on end: how could the fall to the production of such cheap-**** games like this? This is, at best, the Onrush level (at least there was some idea in it), and at the worst, Flatout 4 (at least they tried hard).
    Codemasters fald below disgrace. However, their fall was already traced in the no less disgusting Grid.    … 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/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.

    I saw the reviews describe this as an arcade game. Well if that means pumping a quid into an machine, driving for 3 minutes and walking away underwhelmed, then yes it is. This game is nothing more than a off-road add-on for Drive Club. The career mode feels unrewarding and unstructured. Drive Club was one of my favourite games but this just doesn't feel like it has any identity.

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.

    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

    This was my first racing game on PS5. I did not expect it to be an excellent game, but since it is the DiRT franchise, I must say I expected better than what I experienced.

    A first thing I noticed is how poor the online mode is. Just random races without any goal attached. No progression system, no championships, no unlocks, no ranked play, nada. Super super basic. Even worse than in    This was my first racing game on PS5. I did not expect it to be an excellent game, but since it is the DiRT franchise, I must say I expected better than what I experienced.

    A first thing I noticed is how poor the online mode is. Just random races without any goal attached. No progression system, no championships, no unlocks, no ranked play, nada. Super super basic. Even worse than in Wreckfest, where lobbies do not dissolve after each race (yes, DiRT 5 really does that).

    Then I also noticed a terrible lack of modes among which the most basic one you might expect in a rally game, the actual rally mode. Nope, there is no rally in DiRT 5. The whole game is about racing other cars (something like 12 or 16, don’t remember, yet I finished the game) on 3-5 lap races or sprints. You also have some gymkhanas (way less good than in the excellent DiRT 3) and all-terrain sprints with obstacles. That’s it. There is also Playgrounds mode, but that is really of no interest to me. This all makes it so fastidious to even finish the career mode. Races are so boring and so similar. I have turned off all the assists and play in manual so I really gave it all.

    All that said, I have to mention that the game looks really nice on PS5. In the end that is one of the main reasons why I bought it. I played it in Fidelity Mode, in which I noticed some fps drops (sometimes up to total lag) but other than that it plays smooth. The handling of the cars is not as good as in DiRT 3, despite the smart use of DualSense’s features. The cars handling is quite fade and rigid. That’s a real shame because games like Wreckfest can do way better, so why not DiRT 5?

    In conclusion, I find myself quite disappointed with DiRT 5. I expected so much more, and better. The game feels like a way-too-long-demo lacking many modes and content in general. It is not totally bad, but clearly is a step back in comparison with its direct predecessors. I am curious to see which game will be the first real good experience on PS5.    … Expand

    I've heard the graphics praised as the only redeeming quality but they're not that good to be honest. driveclub did graphics so much better for example, the crew did off road better etc, all along your playing journey you'll notice things that are slightly worse than what you've seen previously.

    Some other comment pointed out how the UI feels like a mobile game and I couldn't put my finger on it before but that is a spot on description! it all feels so generic and bland.

    I got the game for free with ps+ this month but it feels like it should just bee a free to play game from the start because there are so many car locked behind a paywall, just imagine the horror of paying full price and discovering this, I can only imagine how it must have felt...

    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.

    The car selection is nice. There are modern rally cars, 90s and 80s rally cars, gt cars, super light cars, big and heavy Jeep’s and so on. Car customization is possible, but you can only change sponsors and the sponsor layout, car livery and some complete designs. So it’s nothing compared to GT Sport or Forza but you can still make your car look good.
    There is a career mode…well…to be honest it’s just a bunch of different races and challenges you have to do to progress. Not a real career if you ask me. Sadly this can get boring a little to fast.
    But for me the worst is the difficulty. On normal EVERY race is a cakewalk. Really…there is no challenge here. So…I switched to hard.
    Still to easy…it felt exactly the same.
    Okay here we go…very hard. Yeah…now it gets strange. On very hard the most races are still to easy I think. But from out of nowhere there are some races that just totally obliterated me.
    If you didn’t buy the best car of the class you won’t have a chance. Maybe this is just me and a lack of skill in some car classes but I get the feeling that the difficulty is just unbalanced in some rare instances.
    I knew before buying that this is no Dirt Rally. But if I remember correctly there were still some rally events in older dirt games. Yeah sadly they are gone now. Okay time to finish this.
    Dirt 5 is a good looking off road arcade racer with: a career mode which isn’t a career and isn’t rewarding enough, a decent car and track selection, good controls, an unbalanced but mostly to easy difficulty. Dirt is a perfect racing game for moments when I’m waiting for something or when there isn’t enough time to play something big. 7/10 it’s a good game…but nothing that will stay in my mind.    … Expand

    A distinct step down from the previous years iteration. Although this game is on a next gen system, I believe graphics actually got worse. They are almost cartoonish.

    O jogo é muito bem feito no meu ponto de vista. Jogar com o cambio manual traz um desafio a mais que traz uma imersão diferenciada.

    Great game, but disappointing performance on PS5. The framerate is horrible and slowdowns are frequent. Playing on 120 fps mode helps, but the graphics don't look very next gen in performance mode and there are still frequent frame rate dips. I've had some crashes too, but no save corruption fortunately. This game needs a lot of work as of my review.

    As I got this game for free, I give it an 8. Really fun to race and cool cars, the dualsense is wonderful here! The problem is that it looks like a millennium to get into the races, which are the best part!

Objectively, it’s not a bad racing game, but it’s a bad Dirt game. Dirt has always found the sweet spot between arcade and simulation to make a very fun an engaging game, unfortunately this time around it feels like they turned the lever far too much in the direction of arcade without compensating for it in the gameplay. The best way of describing the feel of the game is as if Need for Speed made a Dirt game. The physics feel a little strange although are completely tolerable. What bothered me most about the physics was that there is virtually zero consequence for hitting other cars, so you’ll naturally accelerate hard into corners and use your opponents to slow your momentum so you can take the lead - it’s a little ridiculous. The AI is also very poor, they never make any mistakes and they just clump together in large packs, so you’re either in a way overcrowded stretch or you’re completely on your own. The graphics are decent but nothing to write home about, it almost feels like an upscaled PS4 game (fairly certain this is it). However, the colors in the game are awesome, everything feels super colorful and vibrant. Another cool feature is the active changes in time of day and weather throughout the course of a race, although while it’s a neat feature, it’s just so overused that it feels like a nuisance after awhile because every single race will have poor visibility either due to weather or time of day. The game is also missing some standard features that make for a more bare bones experience, for example, there is no replay system to go back and watch any awesome overtakes, and there is no co-driver that reads any upcoming turns and you can’t adjust where the minimap is located, so you’re stuck constantly taking your eyes off the road trying to figure out what turns are ahead. With all that being said, it’s still a fun game, I enjoyed it, but I couldn’t keep pushing through it felt pretty repetitive. The first 1/3 of the game is exciting, but the remaining 2/3 are just slight changes to the maps and race types that you have already been playing. This game was fun while it lasted. It’s a decent arcade racing game, but it’s a bad Dirt game.… Expand

    Отличная аркадная гонка с приятной физикой. Хейтеров за физон не понимаю, т.к. для руля и педалей есть грязь с подзаголовком ралли. Короче - графон топ, звуки огонь, отдача в дуалсэнс кайф, залипать в редакторе карт круто.

    Genérico. A propaganda de trazer os recursos do PS5 é, no mínimo, duvidosa. Os gráficos não são bons, os modelos de carros são patéticos e é muito fácil ficar cansado de jogar. O único ponto positivo que enxerguei foi o uso do dualsense, muito bom uso por sinal.

    Good music, nice vehicles and routes. Graphics looks good but not perfect. In minus, AI should be harder in campaing beacuse at very hard level without any supports you can probably win all races without any trouble.

Thing is that I’m also currently working my way through Forza Horizon 5 on PC and comparing these two titles just isn’t fair for Dirt 5. Graphics wise there isn’t a huge difference but as far as gameplay goes… Dirt really feels like you’re driving a 90’s arcade racer. Terrible acceleration and braking that feels completely inconsistent depending on if you’re in first or last place. Bouncing off of walls and obstacles when you accidentally go too far off track. Don’t even get me started on the drifting, that’s just as unrealistic as it gets. The sound isn’t much good either, engine sounds are pretty basic and get annoying after a while. I do like the soundtrack, a lot of energizing songs in the playlists. I’m not sure how I would have felt about this game if I had played it when it was just released but probably wouldn’t be much better than my current experience.… Expand

    The graphic quality is the only good thing about this game. The handling is vague and dull. The difficulty is ridiculously imbalanced, some races will be easy and others will be impossible.

    Just got this game through PS+. Glad I did not buy it. It's full of glitches and screen flickering. The physics are so bad it seems like the car is floating... doesn't matter the environment. The background music during the race is broken, the sound comes in and out at various points. The story... well there's none - the career mode is incredibly boring.

    I love and arcade racer but this is everything that is wrong with modern gaming. Every time you start the game it tries to direct you to the ps store to buy some crappy car, has cringeworthy commentary/chat, The road surface has no effect on the driving experience, the other cars travel in a line like a train, and worst of all it is devoid of all fun. The only plus is that i got it on psplus .

    You can have fun with it for a while, but it isn't worth its price. This Game is a bad 1 to 1 copy of Dirt 3 with better graphics. Thats it. I had more fun with Dirt 3. Their creativeness is also lacking if you compare simple things like loading screens, drift score counter, and things like that. EA destroyed this game.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (6) Limited Appeal. Although there may be fans of games receiving this score, many will be left yearning for a more rewarding game experience.

    I’ve enjoyed Dirt 2, Dirt 4, and Dirt Rally but this latest release is a giant step back from their previous games. This iteration has no depth to it and is more arcady than their previous games which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but there isn’t any damage either and with the flip flop of sim vs arcade feel customers may not know what they are buying into if they played their past games . They took out their flashback mechanic too. It would be better if they only had this at an Arcade and I would just be able to put quarters in for the little amount of time it keeps me entertained.    … Expand

    DIRT 5 is an excellent, stunning and simply enjoyable arcade racer that is easy for anyone to pick-up and play regardless of your motor vehicle knowledge with a career mode that is surprisingly entertaining. You may want to pick it up on PlayStation 5 though since it feels awesome to play with the new DualSense features.

    Much buggier than the PS4 version, Dirt 5 is nonetheless a showcase for PS5 gaming, and a much-needed champion for splitscreen racing. [Issue#183, p.86]

    DIRT 5 on the PS5 is the best version of the game to get on PlayStation consoles, when it works. That’s a big caveat, and most gamers will not want to have to constantly remember to pre-emptively upload their save game after a few races, or risk losing hours of progress due to one unfortunate crash. This also necessitates a PlayStation Plus subscription, since copying PS5 save games to USB storage is unfortunately not an option as of this writing. Assuming these issues get patched out, then it is easy to recommend buying this on the PS5, because DIRT 5 is a showcase racing game for the next generation of consoles with its smart use of haptic feedback and ray tracing, all while delivering a smooth performance.
