    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Steering is numb, cars have no weight, it’s obvious they spent zero time trying to make this game feel/handle well and focused on bright colors instead. The only saving grace is Playgrounds, which gets old quick since you can’t play it with your friends.… Expand

    Full departure from what the DiRT series is meant to be.

    I do appreciate the effort to try to expand the series out a little, to possibly catch another crowd after a few more serious games in the series, but this is not what anyone wanted. This is by far the easiest racer I've ever played, the driving (even with assists off) feels as if my hand is being held the whole time; you can't even spin out or crash properly. The tracks are surrounded by walls AT ALL TIMES, there is no risk involved in the racing, as you can simply bounce from wall to wall with no repercussions, due to the lack of a 'simulation' damage model, where components from the car will break.

    Now, you could say that this is because its an arcade racer, but this is on a whole new level. There was so little effort here that it is just not worth any money, as such, wait for a free weekend or play it on Xbox's Game Pass service.    … Expand

    It's the worst dirt game I've ever played. Even Dirt 3 has a better driving feel than this mobile game. Don't buy this **** play for free through Game pass.

    What an ugly POS game. The visuals and audio are incredibly obnoxious. "Donut" podcast is pathetically unfunny. The tracks have too much going on. You can just plow through cars to pass, because it doesn't matter. The music is horrible. Most tracks are just ugly. Pointless goals. Pointless "rewards". Unlockable items are worthless. Vehicle upgrades are sometimes downgrades. No forceWhat an ugly POS game. The visuals and audio are incredibly obnoxious. "Donut" podcast is pathetically unfunny. The tracks have too much going on.

    Just awful. Awful dude bro attitude. It’s not real rally and it’s not fun arcade racing so what the hell is it? A car game where the cars aren’t fun to drive and aren’t realistic either. They handle like scalextric. The enemy ai is dumb. There’s a weird focus on drifting in a game where drifting isn’t fun. I found a fix for the dude bro though.

I found a fix for the dude bro though. If you go into audio settings and turn off speech a lot of problems go away, the only fix for the driving I’ve found is to uninstall the game and play something that wasn’t rushed by a studio that has squeezed all its talent out of the building and killed all its brand recognition with awful cash ins like this. Codemasters is long dead.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Experience is on the One S.
    Don't waste you time to download. Not even when its free with gamepass.

    One s performance is horrible on quality mode. Performance mode is better for performance, but quality wise its a blurry mess. Check tests on YouTube - Mad Tech Gaming.

    Random lockups after races and xbox shutdown.

    Music is awful as well. Probably ok if you are 9 or younger.

    Unless you have access to some really high quality coke, you wont enjoy this game.
    I'm not one for complaining but had to register to share my thoughts. Stay clear until patched.    … Expand

    Décevant ! Je sais qu'il ya un monde entre la série dirt rally qui est plus simulation et dirt qui est plus dans l'arcade mais la cest une fumisterie. Les sensations au volant sont aussi réaliste qu'un asphalt sur mobile le choix des véhicule est insultant sa chant qu'on nous prive de voiture mythique comme une Audi quatro ou une Suzuki escudo et pour en rajouter certaine des voituresDécevant !

    Pour ce qui est des différents lieux on a de la diversité mais seulement dans le titre sinon j'avais l'impression de voir toujours les mêmes paysages et cette impression de jouer à motorstorm en 4K et en moins bien.
    Je ne recommande pas et j'espère un retour au réalisme et à moins de micro transaction pour le prochaine opus de la par des développeurs.
    Pour ma par j'ai eu le jeu avec le gamepass et j'en suis ravi. Go le supprimer.    … Expand

    All in all, it's playable and enjoyable; however, the game will need some more content and definitely more bug fixes in future updates. In other words, it's not entirely polished. Although it may not be polished, it's highly recommended for arcade racers, no doubt about that. If you've been on Forza Motorsport or Project CARS 3 before, then this might be something for you. Great track layout and astonishing graphics makes the game special. Dirt veterans may also recognise the similarities between this and the older games.

    DIRT 5 is superb and will quench the thirst of anybody who believes racing games have become too sim-heavy and boring. Some will lament the lack of true rallying and the ostentatious Americanised presentation but why complain when you can fully embrace the arcade richness on display here. Simply put, DIRT 5 is excellent and will leave you craving for more – now go out and there and drink it up.

    Overall, DIRT 5 fixes everything that was iffy about the prior entry and does so in a way that breathes new life into the long-running series. DIRT 5 has smoother controls and more versatile framerate options than prior entries have had – at least on consoles – and the addition of non-position objectives helps makes races more replayable and a bit more fun since you may have to step outside of your comfort zone, or more accurately, increase your comfort zone over time, to fully embrace it. DIRT 5 clicks with the player faster than any prior entry and is an absolute must-play for anyone who has loved the series before, or who hasn’t and wants to start fresh. There’s no better rally racer on the market than DIRT 5.
