    WRC 8 looks great in docked mode and sounds fab, but as a racing SIM it can be very hard to control even on easiest mode (equivalent trying to balance a pencil on your finger). I've found the Switch version also crashes fairly regularly. This can be fixed by playing in airplane mode, but that means some of the advanced functionality is not available.

The Switch version of WRC 8 looks like it's been ported from a PC version and the text size is very small and not adjustable, so not an accessible game if you have any issues with eyesight.

    Despite all of the issues, this game is quite fun, even if I am unlikely to attempt to compete the career mode. My review score is based on the heavily discounted version available in the Nintendo shop and would have been significantly lower had I picked this up at full price.    … Expand

    Despite its graphic issues, the rally experience is guaranteed. It gives us a perfect opportunity to enjoy the big licenses through its different and fun modes, as well as a demanding but pleasant control scheme.

    WRC 8 is an ugly game with lousy controls, and there’s not much you can say in its favour. Unless you like turning kamikaze driving into an art form, of course — but even then, putting up with a bad racing game just to mess with its internal logic seems like a bridge too far.

    WRC 8 lands on the Nintendo Switch in something which can be seen as a mixed bag. If the gameplay experience and the accuracy of the competition are something to praise, the game's version on the Switch is significantly below par and the performance is even more aggravated when played on the console's screen, while the lack of multiplayer is impossible to understand. A game that's mostly targeted at racing simulator purists but which might not appeal to everyone.
