    If you fancied art of rally Switch and cannot enjoy it on a PC, you should wait a wee while to see what happens in terms of patch.

    At its heart, art of rally is a solid racing experience with a good assortment of cars to try, tracks to tackle and handling that’s both challenging yet satisfying. Unfortunately, the visuals struggle massively on Nintendo Switch resulting in a game that looks fine at best and barren at worst. This is easily the weakest version of the game and if you own an Xbox Series or PC you’re better off going for those superior versions.

    Is Art of Rally still a masterpiece? Absolutely yes, but on the Nintendo hybrid it is clouded by a blanket of technical problems so intrusive that it comes out terribly distorted.

    This game features complex but fun gameplay mechanics and lots of content to explore, which will keep players satisfied for a long time. art of rally doesn't do so good when it comes to its graphical performance, with problems in the way the action is exhibited on the screen, not to mention a lower resolution. Players able to see beyond these flaws will fully enjoy a very demanding but overall satisfying experience.

Lots of cars to unlock, plenty of variety in the tracks, terrain types, and weather conditions, realistic physics and beautiful scenery! Oh, and the music is amazing! This game is just so satisfying when you string together a good run of drift turns and power slides! I wanted to give this game a 10/10 but I've settled on a 9 for two reasons:
    1. The game has crashed on me whilst loading about a dozen times during 11 hours I have been playing.
    2. The loading time between levels is a little longer than expected.
    Don't let these things put you off! This is a really cool rally game that will keep you going for at least a solid week.    … Full Review »

Any rally fans will love this game, but others maySolid racing game that has a surprising layer of complexity when it comes to car control. Any rally fans will love this game, but others may find it a bit frustrating. In terms of control, the game is in that middle ground between arcade racing with the car control of a simulation game. Fans of Dirt games will catch on quickly. It’s fun playing with the different vehicles and seeing your ability improve with the more you play the game. It has a nice amount of content. Lots of settings, lots of terrain, and lots of unlicensed cars which are very clear mirrors of very obvious real life counterparts. I also appreciate the subtle reflection on the history of rally racing. The graphics are very simple but they do the job very well. The visuals are beautiful, but very mild at the same time, which really makes you focus on the gameplay. However with that being said, the simplicity of the design is very attractive as well. It does have loading times that are on the longer side, it does have some very minor graphical issues that do not affect the gameplay, but overall it’s a solid title. When you get the faster vehicles, it really turns up the excitement.

    The only major issue I had with the game was regarding the controls on Switch, which is not really a fault of the game itself. Switch is not designed for racing games as it does not have actual triggers, only trigger buttons. In a sport where you’re going fast in conditions while barely hanging on to the grip you have on the terrain, you need fine tuned control over your throttle. For the most part, it does not affect the game that bad, but it’s very noticeable in the wet environments because you have to tap the gas button to throttle, instead of half pull the trigger. It’s probably a better and more precise experience on the other consoles for that reason.    … Full Review »
