Personally, I prefer racing so I spent most of my time out of the gym. Whether you have fun with this mode or not depends on how much you prefer the stunt side of driving. It would be neat to allow items to overlap so you can create a more natural feel like it's implemented in the recently released Planet Coaster game. There's a good collection of objects which can be customized and placed around in this mode but it's lacking in anything to make the arenas have personality and I found it a little frustrating that I had to be careful where I placed items. In addition to the built-in Gymkhana courses, DIRT 5 provides a level editor that allows you to create and share your own. I enjoy when developers make these kinds of decisions to take something in the real world but then sprinkle in some outlandish scenarios to make it more fantastical.Īlong with these races, there's also Gymkhana which is basically a big gym for cars where you perform stunts to earn points. I particularly enjoyed how some tracks would change the weather and time of day as you're racing even if the sun going down completely and the weather changing multiple times within the few minutes of a race doesn't quite match a real-world scenario. Anyway, weather plays a role and the effects look fantastic.

Good luck trying to place in the top 3 on that one! There are also Stampede, Sprint, and Time Trial events. The types of courses include Ultra Cross, Rally Raid, and Landrush which are the closest to a standard race while Path Finder adds the challenge of putting the work in to figure out where the track ends and Ice Breaker has you slide around on pure ice. The difficulty in completing each course varies on its type, terrain, and weather. I keep forgetting that this isn't Burnout Plus, DIRT 5 does a great job of making the most of each setting's unique features by filling the landscape with dilapidated ruins, shanty towns, palm trees, sky scrapers, and such. Greek ruins, Brazilian jungles, Arizona deserts, and New York's frozen rivers are just a few examples of what's in store for you when you take on challenges in your racing career. With 10 locations, each presenting its own unique visual style and terrain challenges, there's a lot to love about the tracks. The variety of courses is where DIRT 5 shines most. I can't remember the last time a new racing game offered split-screen multiplayer Skins and cars are unlockable along with backgrounds for your player tag when playing online and although there is a good amount of vehicles to unlock, it would have been great to see Codemasters take the variety of vehicles further given the crazy ones that were available in the MotorStorm games. It's a solid collection and it also allows for customization of each vehicle's aesthetics. You have a collection of over 60 vehicles to race in that range from buggies, trucks, and many varieties of rally cars. In DIRT, you race various types of vehicles often with the primary goal of simply staying on the track and not crashing while hoping for a chance at winning gold.

The closest series to DIRT is probably MotorStorm, especially considering the makers of DIRT hired a lot of the staff who worked on the MotorStorm games before their studio shut down in 2016. However, I've somehow missed the DIRT franchise up until now. I'm a big fan of racing games and have spent countless hours playing MotorStorm, Forza, Burnout, and certain Need for Speed titles.

🐧 That swanky vanity plate is about to get mucked up │ Mary has enjoyed many kinds of video games for decades and particularly likes detective games, racers, and RPGs. Racing on tough terrain such as ice and mud can be quite tricky but if that is your kind of racer then here's the very cool DIRT 5.
