    What a boring game! I've played the entire career mode and it was extremely repetitive and easy. If you have a Xbox Series X, just play the optimized version of Forza Horizon 4, it is better than this game in every way possible.

    Great game! I’m having so much fun with Dirt 5.
    The kind of fun I used to have with PS3 era racing games. Love it!

    I'm really enjoying Dirt 5. It's a lot of fun and easy to pick up and play. Looks great on Series X!

    I don't remember having so much fun with a racing game. It is a real pleasure to play this game. It has everything to entertain you for hours. The presentation is incredible. The graphics are outstanding, especially when it's raining. I am very happy I bought this game, the gameplay is so good and addictive. This is a must have for all Series X owners.

    The game isn't terrible, but I'm glad I didn't spend money on it. (Game Pass is a great service...)
    Forza Horizon 4 does everything better, even if you exclude the open world of FH4. Graphics in D5 are decent, but not as good. Race tracks are flashy in design which is a plus, but the physics and AI are a joke and the AI can be crap in FH4 at times.

I enjoy playing this game and there is so much variety from race to race. Things that stand out is when you are racing there is so much happening in the background as well as puddles, mud, rain, lightning, and fireworks. The difficulty is not very challenging, and there are less cars than other games, but this is a great Dirt game that should be enjoyed by all.
    I played this on Xbox OneX as well as the Xbox One Series X and give it an 8 out of 10 as I compare all racing games like this to Forza Horizon 4.    … Expand

    Juegazo de coches. Si bien en las primeras semanas no estaba lo bien optimizado y detallado que debiera en la nueva generación de la Xbox, con el nuevo parche, es un auténtico espectáculo lo bien que se ve, mejorando incluso la versión de Series S a la de Play 5, así que os podéis imaginar como se ve en Series X.

    This is the best Dirt in a long time. Play DIRT Rally if you want a sim. However DiRT 5 is just plain fun. I could do without the gimmicky Donut podcast but it doesn't take away from the game. It looks and play great on the Series X.

    The track designs were phenomenal in this game and the visuals were off the chain as you’d expect.

    Es un juego de coches muy entretenido pero algunas pruebas no me gustan nada como las de correr sobre hielo o las pruebas de drift. Forza Horizon sigue siendo el rey en los juegos de coches arcade.

    La Codemasterie habituelle et syndicale plus ou moins annuelle des sales jeux de bagnoles de merde revient inexorablement comme les mauvaises herbes… Ainsi ce Dirt numéro 5 qui se focalise sur les courses de terre, surtout les courses qui tournent en rond sur des pistes qui semblent avoir été créées de façon procédurale, c’est-à-dire au hasard… tellement elles se ressemblent !

    Peu importe le véhicule, on a toujours l’impression de con-duire un hydroglisseur et si le jeu est très joli et fluide (malgré un accroc ici ou là, étonnant et inadmissible) il se révèle d’un ennui incroyable. Et d’une répétition incroyable elle aussi.

    Fortnite pink/babyblue style tries to pull fortnite kids and Forza Horizon players. Game forces you to do a race with a predefined car and a predefined track, which is certainly not what a player want.

    I loved Dirt 2 and liked Dirt 3 and I must say this opus is a disappointment. It is unequal on pretty much every aspects (gameplay, difficulty, graphics) and the content is very light given you paid the day one price. On this point, the number of cars per category is light, the races are nice but the environments come to be repetitive quickly over time, moreover with the "career" mechanic.I loved Dirt 2 and liked Dirt 3 and I must say this opus is a disappointment.

Before making additional paying content, make sure you made enough for the base game given its day one price.
    And, above all : the game is globally bland, basic career mode driven by a mediocre podcast, no real sensations driving the different cars. We are far from the sensation Dirt 2 was and it seems Codemaster made few efforts to keep its licence to the top since then.    … 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.

    I had a lot of fun playing campain mode, but there are some small downgrades. Game is pretty easy even on the hardest level and sometimes you have to wait 5 minutes to get an online race. But after all racing and drifting gave me a lot of fun. Pretty good game.

    I wouldn't recommend it to the fans of the Dirt series expecting something similar to Dirt 2 or 3. It's just a forgivable casual racer which is fun. It's not really a simulator, also it doesn't feel truly next gen. If you want a next gen experience, play Forza Horizon 4 or wait for Forza Horizon 5

    Weather feels immersive and it's a little fun, but not too much fun. Gets boring pretty quickly. The driving itself is ok if you like arcade. FPS drops a significantly when you play split-screen. Played it while it was on game pass and would not pay money for this.

    The biggest problem with Dirt 5 is the lack of content. The core gameplay of the game is designed to be extremely fun and engaging, and driving with a small number of cars without any bugs is really enjoyable.

    Other problems of the game include the low quality of the textures, although the game is of high quality in terms of visual effects.
    The races are held in different car classes, most of them are acceptable, but the general off-road Formula races are really nerve-wracking due to the lack of cars and being more crowded than the main races.
    And finally, it should be mentioned and concluded that although the game has removed many of its simulation elements compared to the previous versions of the same series and has become more like an arcade work, Code Masters has been able to bring an engaging experience to the players.    … Expand

    Despite a nice 4-player split-screen and enjoyable Playground mode chock-full of cool fan-made courses, Dirt 5 is not worth the full price. Yes, it is very pretty, runs smoothly and sounds great, but it lacks innovation and therefore reminds me of old school racing games. [01/2021, p.68]

    Codemasters truly are the experts of their craft. DIRT 5 is a step in a different direction that will be met with some fans not enjoying the rather arcade-style gameplay, but it is absolute joy for those do like this type of fast-fluid party action. There is enough variation in track diversity thanks to the dynamic weather and track terrain conditions to help keep DIRT 5 fresh.

    It may not be as deep or sophisticated as many other modern racers, but Dirt 5 is nonetheless an entertaining outlet for engine revving on Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5.
