    Really solid racing game, I love that it's more arcade than sim personally. Fun races, I wish online play had more people playing though.

    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

    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

    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.

    Einfach ein grandiosen, grafisch geiles Rennspiel. Hatte sehr viel Spaß damit und alles komplett in der Cockpit-Ansicht gespielt. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Nur die Drift-Punkte-Rennen haben mich persönlich genervt.

    That was a good game; this has a great frame rate and a realistic graphic. I hope I'll get that game

    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.

    Простая, красивая, ненапряжная гоночка. Очень приятно играть, отличный саундтрек.

    Dirt 5 is a great looking game which is perfect for some fast and short fun. start it, play for 30 mins, do some races and then stop playing again. rince and repeat. It lacks customizations and content though for some real long term motivation. It is a fun shallow arcade racing game.

    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!

    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.

    Great game for all ages. As a grown man I loved it, you get a modern sense of arcade racing with some damage and inconsequential racing on all terrains. I had a blast and purchased the dlc and loved that as well. Great art style and graphics and great track and vehicle selections. Quite a variation of race types and even a voice over story mode that isn’t intrusive to your play and yourGreat game for all ages.

    It is actually a really good game. The playgrounds mode and 2 player arcade are the best but the career mode is good too. Its really fun but after around 3 hours of non stop playing it does get a little boring.

    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.
