Gravel ist ein Offroad Arcade Racer ohne Firlefanz, der leider im wichtigsten Punkt - Fahrspaß - nicht überzeugt.

Die Autos fahren sich mitunter wie Skateboards auf Eis. Drifts transportieren einen je nach Winkel entweder stark nach außen, oder bremsen nur ab. Beides frisst Zeit und fühlt sich nicht gut an. Stattdessen versucht man, sich mit möglichst viel Traktion an der Innenseite an den Kontrahenten vorbei zu schleichen.
Bei Sprüngen und Kollisionen wird es dann unfreiwillig komisch (oder frustrierend). Die Fahrzeuge hüpfen bei Kontakt untereinander oder mit Hindernissen gerne mal unkontrolliert wie Flummies durch die Gegend. Und ab und zu wird man bei voller Fahrt mit einem Zusammenstoß mit unsichtbarer Materie überrascht. Immerhin kann man zurückspulen.

Wenn man sich an die seltsame Steuerung gewöhnt hat, kann man hier durchaus seinen Spaß haben. Die Karriere ist kurzweilig gestaltet und die Schauplätze und Fahrzeugklassen bieten Abwechslung.
Kann man im Sale mitnehmen, wenn einem der Sinn nach einem Rennspiel abseits des Mainstreams steht. Ansonsten eher belanglos.

Gravel ist ein Arcade/Fun Rennspiel von Milestone. Der Racer ist zwar grafisch nicht besonders gut geworden, aber er macht Spaß und die Steuerung ist für einen Arcade Racer zufriedenstellend. Die vielen Fahrzeuge die im Spiel zur Verfügung gestellt werden sind hübsch gestaltet worden, doch auch die verschiedenen unterschiedlichen Strecken machen Laune und lassen die Zeit schnell verstreichen. Der Karriere Modus ist lange und umfangreich, (Spielzeit über 15 Stunden) die vielen DLC's haben auch einiges zu bieten und runden den positiven Gesamt Eindruck ab.

Gravel got slammed by the critics, but coming at it with $2.50 expectations I've got to say that I'm quite impressed. Car handling is arcade-y but with enough weight that you have to pay attention to braking. It's got a little bit of Forza, a little bit of Motorstorm, and a lot Sega Rally DNA. If you enjoy the less realistic Dirt games, you'll probably get a kick out of this.

Do not buy Dirt 5. Forget it. Really. Save your money for this game. For the sale price with 90% discount I would say it is a crime if you don't buy it.

- Good variety of vehicles
- Nice tracks to race
- Beautiful (not awesome) graphics
- Good sound effects and soundtrack
- The cars control is precise
- Difficulty settings works just the way we expect

Of course, there are some minor problems, but nothing we can't deal with.

This game is almost a hidden gem.

Looking forward to a Gravel 2.

Best Rally game I've played in my life because I don't like any of the other simulation or simulation-like rally games. Since this is the only Arcade Rally game I could found, I instantly bought it and started playing. 10 minutes into the game, I felt like this game was made for me.

Grab it on a sale with all the dlc, then you'll get a full game that feels like Sega Rally proper - I don't know much about Gravel Channel or Offroad Masters, or the thing about macho muscle men in front of burning backgrounds, but the game is an okay time waster with races to win, nothing less, nothing more.

Good off-road arcade racing game. It goes on sale for 90% off all the time which is a steal since there isn't anything wrong with the game and can be fun for a couple of hours. It's pretty solid. If you played any other game by the developer Milestone you probably know what to expect with this one.

Best arcade racer on steam?

Solo, ez jump in-jump out.
w/o fiddlings, micro management, or wasting time.

Very enjoyable, very serviceable, whenever you just want a bit of driving, surf some dirt, burn some rubber, slide on some.
Great roster and uniques. (Toyota 222, Abarth cars)
Also, game has a quick-rewind button, thats always something i'd love too see in every game.

Now gimme Gravel 2, pls ???? ... plus mods, steam workshop...

----------------------------------------------------------
for better experience,
may try turning some driving assists to off/low. (half Stability control)
some neat visuals, may use a graphics tweak (HDR off) found on forums.

My favorites and some picks:
dopeness: Toyota 222.
... Porsche 911 RSR, Ford RS200, Alpine, Abarth 124, Renault 5, ...
RX cross: Polo, Veloster.
bumps + high speed challenge: Fiat 131.
truck: Ford Raptor. Or the Bowler seems easy quick.
DLC: Ice and Fire... Iceland tracks, 100% go for this one, if you enjoy the game.

Is probably fine on windows but only worked for 80-90 minutes on linux mint then refused to load. The graphics and sound are ok, it's got very arcadey handling like The Crew 2 and similar to many Need for Speed titles. I wouldn't buy this if you intend to run it on linux mint, the more you play the game, the more frequently it pauses momentarily and for longer periods of time until it refused to load at all after an hour and a half.

I found this after reminiscing about the nineties Screamer games and wondering whether Milestone had done anything similar since. The good news is yes: Gravel feels a lot like a modern Screamer Rally with licensed cars, with glorious unrealistic physics and a real feel of speed.
First impressions are not good. The game requires you to play a race before letting you get at the options and there are far too many driving aids turned on by default. Turn a bunch of those off and things get more fun.
There is a campaign of sorts, which unlocks new things as you progress through it, but it isn't particularly onerous. The tracks hark back to nineties racers with the obligatory diverse bunch of courses (sandy, icey, muddy, asphalty) and occasionally surreal scenery (planes using a runway while you're racing on it, active volcano, etc). There are circuit races, straight sprints, plus race tracks and unfortunately some stupid american arena things. Once you've unlocked things it's fun to just pick up and play free races.
DLC is a bit obnoxious: those vehicles and tracks are visible by default in the menus so you feel like a cheapskate for not having them, and actual activation of them is a little bit weird. There are also some stupid cinematic videos that usually cannot be skipped. I resorted to file permissions to get rid of them.
Overall it's a fun hark back to a simpler age of racing games. It could have used a bit more polish and I'm not sure it's worth the full asking price. Look out for it on sale.

What is Gravel ?

While Im not really a big fan of racing games (especially sport racing) due to their extremely repetitive and simplistic gameplay, I had some enjoyable moments with the Dirt series, particularly DIrt 3 and Showdown which were fun to play, they were a bit arcadey in the way they played but they still had some sense of realism and for some reason the simplicity in their gameplay never bothered me, after some interactions with other ppl who had familiarity with racing games I was recommended Gravel because according to them it fit the descriptions of what I was looking for and during sales was a very cheap game anyway so I had no reason to not give it a go and so I did.

Being honest, I enjoyed Gravel even more I enjoyed the Dirt games Ive played before, its not really an overly arcadey game but theres some sense of realism in the way it controls and as someone who not is good at racing games the realism can make it hard to me to get into, but they made everything here so intuitive, the controls feels well-done, the racing mechanics are fun and the maps are so beautiful and well-done, visually everything looks really good, I have no idea why I never heard of this game, it feels hidden, Its such a good racing experience that I feel will satisty both people who are and arent into racing games overall, its a easy to get into but difficult to master game, I feel this is such a underrated game that deserved more attention, if youre looking for some racing game to play you have no reason to skip this, just stop reading this review and buy the game, its cheap as hell (especially during sales) and the content here is pretty good for such a low price, it will entertain you for long periods of time.

Wasn't sure if I was going to like this game or not at first, but for an arcady off road racing game it is alright. I would strongly recommend getting this when it is on sale though, especially when about 16% of the game is locked behind DLC.

I nearly refunded the game because it forces you into the first race with horrible key bindings. If you are on keyboard, your controls will be all over the place. Thankfully you can change the key bindings after the first race, but even then it won't let you use some keys like shift, ctrl, or tab. The tracks are beautiful to look at. Some of the best I have ever raced on. There are four different types of dirt racing series. Speed cross, stadium, land rush, and cross country.

Car handling feels similar to Forza Horizon but a lot worse. Mostly arcady but still with some sim elements. I have never complained about engine noises in a racing game before, but this has some of the worst engine noises I have experienced. Sometimes I can't even tell when the engine is in high revs. I was pleasantly surprised at the car roster though. Lots of great cars to choose from including...
Ford Ranger T6
Ford RS200
Lancia 037 and Stratos
Proshe 959
Alpine A10
Subaru Impreza
Mitsubishi Lancer

I had high hopes for this game, but was hugely dissappointed. Even for an arcade racing game (cause this game is nowhere near autosim genre) driving physics is awfull - it's pretty much a QTE simulator where you just have to press brake/release acceleration at proper moments, cause it's mostly the only thing that affects how you go through turns. Trajectory, speed, drifting are totally secondary and do not have much effect. Colliding physics is total crap, cause no matter if you hit other car or it hits you - it's you who bounce off like a rubber ball. Drifting is a total joke as well as car behavour when you hit static objects - you just spin around like a cow on ice and can't do anything.

If you somehow manage to adapt and overcome all of this game's oddities and inconsistensies, then maybe you will have some fun driving and enjoy pretty decent graphics. But I would recommend looking for other racing games that are much better made overall.

The game seems fine, but it has some big letdowns that could/should be fixed for it to be enjoyable.

The problem I faced was the controls.

For some reason remapping keys was hidden during the first race, only after completing the race could you remap keys.
While that was somewhat doable, it was annoying as hell, being forced to use controls you don't like.
Add to that, you can't bind ctrl, alt or shift, keys I always use, and a few others like Ins, Del, Home, End, Page up and down.

If that was all that was wrong I could live with it, but sadly not.
The wheel support while there, did not correspond to my albeit old wheel, and I could not remap any of the wheel.
That left me with a wheel that couldn't turn, accelerate or break.
On a positive not, the force feedback did work...

Game is a real fun mix of Sega Rally and a motorstorm. I wouldn't consider this a full blown 60$ game as the single player isn't very long, but there is a decent selection of rally cross and point-to-point stages. Great selection of rally cars/ suvs and pretty good graphics. My favorite thing about the game is the car handling, it just runs very smooth and the cars slide around as you'd expect them. It has time attack and other custom race options which give it a decent replay value, I wish there were just a few more stages but if you can get the game under 30$ its well worth it. I don't recommend if you are looking for a Dirt 2.0 replacement as this isn't as realistic and the stages are more Sega Rally style than traditional WRC. My only negatives are the short campaign, cheesy presentation in the campaign and the pretty terrible menu/race music; like seriously it's that bad I had to turn it off because it drove me insane.

This game was surprisingly fun if you liked Sega Rally then you gonna like this too! Lots of great tracks and huge variety of cars and liveries (provided you got all DLC's).Most of the fastest cars comes from DLC's , but you can buy them cheaply when on sale.
This game is easy even on medium difficulty so if you want some challenge then i recommend playing this on harder difficulty. The only downside is that the boss races are just hilariously easy and short! In boss races you play against only one opponent and you can easily spin out his car and finish the race in first place even on harder difficulty.
Also the game is quite short you can beat the game in less than 13 hours, and the dlc's only gives about +2 hours to the game, and since the multiplayer is completely dead you can only play the career mode or single races in free mode.
This is not a perfect game but not a bad game either and some people may not like this but this game is cheap, the graphics is good as a 2018 game, the cars handle nicely the engine sounds are good and you can drive in famous rally cars like subaru impreza 1995 and 2003, ford escort rs cosworth, ford rs200 fiat 131 abarthand and so on.

Really underrated off road game. Leans heavily towards the arcade side of offroad racers, so if you're after a sim, this is not for you. Handling is very pleasant with all assists off, graphics are actually really nice - after disabling HDR (it doesn't try to look realistic, and that works well imo), runs fine, has a good selection of tracks and cars (obvious con is that there are a few DLCs, with Fire & Ice and Colorado River being the only ones to add tracks). Some unbalanced AI (smash up events are frustrating) and career could be longer, but otherwise, no major issues.
Overall a very good / fun game as long as you know what you're getting into, closest recent game I can think of is Dirt 5, and I might not be in the majority here, but I think Gravel is a better game (mostly because the track design and the AI are much better)

Gravel is an OK arcade racing game. Recommended if you want a Need for Speed game but on dirt tracks. Avoid if looking for a driving sim, this ain't it.

I dislike how it copies vehicle customization from Dirt Rally, why would you do that in an arcade game is beyond me.

Physics are fine until you jump, and jumps are absurdly bad. In all seriousness, Mario Kart has more believable jumps.

This aside, the story mode is a nice mix of event types, it's genuinely fun to overtake huge trucks on a narrow stage, the graphics are perfectly serviceable. And it's fairly challenging, even on Medium difficulty I don't exactly win all events on the first try, so there's that.

A funny offroad racing game with nice tracks (at least when it's not night or raining) and a lot of vehicles, even many exotic ones (get the DLCs, they are worth it) ???? I enjoyed it much. If you like Sega Rally, V-Rally 4 or Dirt 2/3/5, you'll like this game, too. But if you are looking for a simulation, you will be disappointed. It's arcade like the games mentioned before, despite the option to do a car setup like in the WRC games. I want more games of that kind - simple and pure racing without an extreme amount of collectibles in an open world, boring team management or a frustrating high difficulty level like Dirt Rally has it.

Gravel is a hidden gem in arcade racing games it feels like Sega Rally/DiRT Showdown/Flatout 1-2:

+ 16 locations all are well made
+ 51 tracks (point to point races and rallycross tracks)
+ 8 car classes
+ 47 cars + 6 cars free dlc
+ carrer mode with 77 race events, 15 episodes and 5 boss episodes
+ photo mode is ok
+ graphics are pretty nice (night, sunset, moring, day and rain races)
+ the point to point races looks pretty open and have good track design
+ driving feeling is pretty alright
+ damage model is ok

had really fun with this game but its pretty short 12-16 hours long.

So, the many things, this game is super arcade really, but its frustrating as all hell, and it shouldn't be. Lets break it down, it only senses my controller half the time, it isn't even worth trying to get my wheel to work. First race it forces you to use the stupidest keyboard layout I have ever seen in a game, and no, you can't change it tell after the race.

Now lets get to the moronic stupid stuff. These DLC's, why would you release a dam game on Linux and MAC, and then make the DLC windows only? What a waste of money and time, and before any of you go, oh I will just try proton, stop already did it crashes harder than Tim Sweeny when he checks at night that valve is still kicking his butt.

Refunded then added to my ignore list, this game checked all my boxs, Linux native, racing, offroad, I was looking forward to hours of game play just to be met with a stinking pile of nope.

Arcade Rally Racing on a Budget

System & Setup:

Windows 10 64bit
Intel Core i9 10900K
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
LG 27inch 1440p 144hz monitor 27GN850-B

The game has an implentation of HDR that activates when it detects a monitor that is capable of it. It sucks. (Or maybe my monitor isn’t good with HDR?) It causes too much of the screen to be fogged up during races and isn’t a great way to play. Luckily, other people have figured out a way to turn HDR off.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2005389031

Type Run into the Windows Search Bar. Type %LocalAppdata% into the text space. Gravel/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor. Click in Engine.ini Place this block of text within it:
[SystemSettings]
r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=0
r.HDR.UI.CompositeMode=0
r.HDR.Display.OutputDevice=0
r.HDR.Display.ColorGamut=0

Save it. Boom, problem solved.

Also, I had some minor troubles with activating the DLC in the game, but if memory serves I was able to resolve it by just going into the game menu, choosing Downloadable Content and installing the DLCs one by one. It was nothing more than a few minutes of inconvenience at most. It surely wasn't enough for me to write a detailed note of it down, but I felt I should mention it anyway.

The game easily stablizes at 120fps with settings maxxed and resolution set to 1440p.

Review:

First thing's first. Sim racers: Keep it moving. The game that you're looking for isn't here. Gravel knows who their audience is and it's the sort of gamer that plays video games to take a break from reality rather than recreate it. Gravel is absolutely an arcade rally game that pays more mind to being entertaining than being realistic. People with fond memories of Sega Rally, Excitetruck or Motorstorm should feel welcomed here.

People who give this game a download will find a good amount of cars to choose from, a good variety of track layouts and a championship mode that should last about 6 to 7 hours if you set yourself on doing only the bare minimum to make the credits roll. If you go for winning all of the medals on all of the courses and unlocking all of the car liveries, you'll probably be looking at a runtime of about 12 to 15 hours.

The cars handle like you would expect them to handle in a game like this, fast and loose with a lot of drifts in the sharper corners. Of note is that instead of just having the option of automatic or manual transmission, the game by default sets the cars to a semi-automatic transmission, giving the player the best of both and giving them more options on how to navigate the harder turns than just relying on the brakes.

Most racing game stories, if they happen to bother having one, tend to be focused on motivating the player to defeat one racer. Usually, it's because they're a massive jerk and need to be brought down a peg. Gravel overperforms in this aspect, instead choosing to give the player five(!) different people that they have to beat on their way to the top. They don't really do anything to let you know if you should hate them, but there's a clip of one of them playing air guitar, and that's as good a reason as any!

In its best moments, the graphics of the game can look quite good. Unfortunately, just as often as the game delivers some nice eye candy, it falls short of its generation and and comes off looking a bit undercooked. You can feel the game straining against its own budget at times, and although it tries as best as it could, you won't be seeing many people fawning over carefully captured photos of this game like you would other racing titles. Actually, it reminds me a bit of how Dirt 5 looked at launch, before it was visually improved with a game update.

The music in the game is present and not much else. Comprised of generic rock songs and guitar riffs, it succeeds at setting a mood for the game but fails at being memorable at all. I suppose every game can't afford to bring on masterful composers or pay for licensed music, and Gravel certainly didn't do either. I wasn't going to bother commenting on music at all, except I had to poke fun at one track in particular. Whenever I hear it, it just sounds like the game's designers desperately wanted Cowboys From Hell in the game's soundtrack, but couldn't afford to pay the licensing so they told somebody to put together something as close to it as possible without being legally actionable. Whatever, it gets the job done I suppose.

While the game's physics system mostly holds together and lets you launch off ramps or cliffs to get big jumps when you're supposed to, sometimes it will feel like the game has it out for you, and your car will randomly get knocked over or launched into the air for no discernible reason. I'm guessing this is the main reason why the game has a rewind feature; to fix the mistakes you never actually made.

This will probably sound like a really odd thing to harp on for some people, but I just have to say that this game has some of the blandest car decals I have ever seen in a video game. I mean, I know it's a matter of subjective opinion here but it's just incredible how many designs I see in this game that I know I would never want to put on my car. Maybe if you had some ability to customize their colors I'd feel better about them, but no dice. They're repulsive and I've never wished so hard for the sort of user created decal designs that you'd get from Forza Horizon 4, or even the Crew 2. I know people harp on the shortcomings of Dirt 5's decals and customization options but I'd take those in a heartbeat over the ones in Gravel. If you're going to play a game about racing cars, then you want the car you race in to be nice to look at, and this game just misses the mark on that way too often. It's not all a wash, there are a few classic decals here like for the Toyota T100 Baja Truck and the Toyota Supra. You'll be best off sticking to those.

Also, only buy this game if you plan on playing single player. The online mode is a ghost town, and short of roping a friend into playing with you or perhaps camping out in the lobby all day, you're not going to see any multiplayer action. Achievement hunters be warned, as you'll need to complete ten online races to get the two trophies tied to online multiplayer.

I know it's starting to sound like I should really be giving this game a thumbs down, but for all the faults I can find in this game, the important thing is that when you get behind the wheel and blast your way through the track, kicking up dirt as you soar into first place, the game is a very good time. No, the graphics aren't as good and the music is forgettable and the decals are bad, but the core of the game does what it needs to do, despite the game coming up short on the window dressing.

The game is a fine purchase if you balk at the higher price of Dirt 5 and would rather spend thirteen dollars during a sale instead. There's nothing particularly bad about it and you'll likely have a good time if arcade rally racing is your thing. Just, don't be surpised if you have a hard time remembering much about Gravel a few months after you've put it down.

After gaming Gravel for over five hours, I must say that this is a great game. It's even better if you mute the commentator and remove the HUD, giving you a unique rally experience. This is something that the Dirt games failed to do and that's to make you feel like you're in the drivers seat.
-
The Audio is spot on as you can feel the *thump* when you jump off a ramp and land on the jump. Playing it with the Xbox One controller made me feel like if the vehicle was in my hands. I felt every bump, curve, and the vehicles response to the track through the controllers vibration.
-
There's a good selection on cars to choose from. Once you unlock the Buckshoot X2, everything should be smooth sailing. You do have a leveling system. The further you progress, the more tracks, cars, and leviries you get to unlock.
-
I must say that this game is graphically spot on. However you might want to calibrate your brightness on your monitor since the game does have some night driving tracks that must be completed. I had my settings a bit lower thus kept on crashing on walls and other obstacles.
-
Overall, this is a neat game that kept me going back and playing some more. I would highly recommend this if you're a rally fan. If you are coming from Dirt such as my myself and other rally games, then this is something you would want to have added to your library.
-
Keep on gaming.

It's a pretty fun Motorstorm type game- although it's more similar to the original which is slightly disappointing. Still though, it's fun to play- just pick it up during a sale.

Nice graphics, controls good, and I didn't have any crashes or bugs. I like how you can tailor the game to your preferences by setting ai difficulty, tcs, stability, guide arrows like in forza, brake assist and more so if you enjoy sim or arcade style racing you can tune it the way you want which is a huge plus to me at least.

Wish this game had some nitro boosts, better score multipliers and huge jumps to take it over the top like the Motorstorm sequels had. I just wish it had more spectacle stuff like this to make it more exciting. The different events are all fun though as well as the environments. You basically earn xp just to unlock more cars but you can't buy any upgradeable parts for them either which is unfortunate.

My only big gripe is the announcer is absolutely dreadful though and thankfully can be turned off.

impression

such a great underrated racing game, has pretty much good graphics on today's standard, although this game was released in 2018 you should compare the graphics with dirt 3 or wrx fia 5 and this game beats em.
(quick tip; u can even tweak the game's engine .ini file to make it even more beautiful)
the phisics is decent for a game made with unreal engine not necessarily great, a little bit bouncy/jelly like tho u can tune the indifidual car's settings, the AI is kinda good, rubberbanding as expected, game's progression is linear based of the season and levels that we gain as we progress the race and do certain things (e.g drifting)

other stuff worth pointing out;
- features ; the game has common features like achievements & controller support, trading cards and inventory items (if u into that), weekly event and multiplayer (yes the game has mp, pretty nice for a less well-known game like gravel)
- cars ; the game has 48 cars in total not that much but its good, what's awesome is that the game has cars that other racing games like dirt, wrc and forza never have (e.g toyota 222d, mitsubishi outlander sport asx, & pajero, vauxhall astra 4s, toyota land cruiser and hilux (not arctic truck) sick gt86 r3, nissan navara, heck it even have suzuki gran vitara! how cool is that)
(the game also have 4 subarus kudos for that)
- things i dont really like ; dlcs , yes the game has plenty of downloadable contents to buy meaning the base game doesnt really have enough content to enjoy in fact, u can only access 30% of the game's content from the base game, not to mention the car packs too!, the races is kinda short with 50 seconds to 2 minutes duration on average, whats wierder is that the tracks are identical so u feel like repeating the same race. but it has wide variety of race modes like elimination, time attack so that would help, the game doesnt have a proper rally game (with pace notes and codriver like dirt or wrc had) is it actually just a offroad racing game (kind of a bummer), no customizations u can only choose certain liveries of the car with you can get by progressing the game (not a big deal imo), the game is also a little bit more expensive so i recommend buying the game while its on sale

final verdict

my opinion about Gravel, should you,
•avoid it
•consider it
•shortlist it
•buy it ?
well if youre a diehard focused sim rally fans then i reckon you should consider it, because the game doesnt have rally and its more of a casual arcade than an actual sim so yeet your $1000 thrustmasters fanatech g27 setup the heck out lol, i find using keyboard or a xbox controller is more enjoyable..

BUT, if u want a good non-mainstream arcade offroad racing timekiller then you should go ahead and buy it :)

Game runs smooth and looks beautiful in 4K ultra settings. This is the best arcade rally cross racing game out there. The vehicle control is great with your standard controllers. It's just such a mindless fun game.

Took me 19h to complete the entire Off Road Master Series or whatever it's called. There is nothing left to do in the game at this point, except weekly challenges and time rush. Multiplayer is dead. I tried many times and not a single person joined. Game is ok, graphic are pretty nice and there is quite a few cars and liveries. I won't give this a negative review but i don't think it's worth the money. I got it on sale for 7.50 which is ok but at the current price NO.

This game markets itself as some kind of offroad alternative to GRID, but it doesn't have the budget to pull that off. It's a fun game, and reminds me a lot of the first Motorstorm in terms of driving feel. Disregard the tags - this is absolutely not a sim, it's more like a 'sim-oriented' arcade game. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, give it a go - you'll probably like it.

I was looking for a PC replacement for Motorstorm Pacific Rift (PS3 game) and this one is a good choice.
I've set the AI difficulty on easy. My career mode is progressing smoothly and I'm just enjoying the cars and tracks. It's a good choice for the PS3 Motorstorm fans.

I too have the crashing and freezing issues with the same maps everybody else described. This is a problem that the developer seems unwilling to fix. I got this game for only $7.99 on sale and now I see why. Even at this price I would not recommend unless you just enjoy being frustrated and having to reboot your PC every time you try to play. The real shame is that this game is really fun to play. DO NOT BUY!! (even on sale)

A real throwback to the Dreamcast/Xbox/Xbox 360 days of solid arcade racing games.

Graphics are ok, nothing too special, and even then there are some framerate drops which isn't great. The handling is fun though, classic arcade off-road style with controllable drifting. The AI level is mostly quite consistent, which is often an issue with this type of game, so that's really important. Also shout out to the big FMV energy in the rival driver introductions and the presentation overall, love it.

I got this game for sale for just 8 euros. After playing it for 2 hours, on many of the tracks and using many cars, I'd say its definitely a fun arcade off road racer.

+ Good variety of licensed rallye cars, including Subaru Imprezas, Lancers, Astras, and trucks/buggies/etc. There are about 50+ different cars from what I've seen
+ Decent track selection, including A-to-B sprints, circuits, head-to-head sprints in the desert, the woods, in closed stadiums, etc.
+ The driving and gameplay is very arcade-y, but overall solid. It's fun to drive these cars and that's the most important part in a racing game
+ Interesting game modes, like one where you have to smash through barriers that randomly generate on the track
+ GRID-like flashback/rewind feature that has saved my ass a couple times without needing to restart the entire race
+ First person view with well detailed interiors and gauges for every car
+ Runs very well for an UE4 game (GTX 1060 + Ryzen 5 here, high settings)
+ Default controls for an Xbox One controller make a lot of sense and it's very easy to get into this game if you have ever played a racing game before

- Campaign seems fairly short. Overall, this game doesn't seem to have a ton of content single player wise.
- The pacing seems to quick for me. I have already unlocked more than half of the car lot and tracks within just 2 hours of playing. I reckon this game will get repetitive quick
- Commentator can get annoying, at least for me. Sorry, voice actor, no hard feelings
- The damage model is very... shallow. Actually, non existant. Not once have I seen bumpers, mirrors or parts fly off or get damaged, despite having my damage settings set to full. Even hard crashes don't seem to affect the car's performance. It's like Gran Turismo 4 all over again
- The physics in general are occassionally wonky, the crashes look comically bad at times (my car flipped faster and harder than a dolphin on crack sometimes)

TL;DR this is just your typical mediocre off road arcade racer. Fun, but nothing that will blow you away. I wouldn't say it's worth the full 40€ price though. Definitely not what you're looking for if you want a realistic rallye racing game

this games works really bad with Linux... If you are looking for an off road racing/arcade game then you are probably better with Baja HD, works out of the box with proton and I get solid 60fps. I feel sad recommending a none native game rather than this but it is what it is... this game is unplayable on Linux and also it doesn't work with Proton. I get 10 fps on High, and 15 fps with medium, yeah, it's really broken.
(I believe that at some point it will work with Proton apparently it's missing some video codecs, when that happens I might change the review)

Glad i didn't listen to the reviews. This game is in fact very awesome. Lots of work went into making this game and it plays just like. I wanted something fun,easy and controlled well. I wanted that arcade feel and this was it!! You can just jump right in and play this bad boy. Lots of fun to be had. Hope the devs make another or add a few more DLC's. Good job Milestone you made a beast of a racing game!!

Quicknote from me:
Please do spend more time on this game since my review may be biased as I haven't put more time on this.

Brief introduction:
You're playing as a talented racer (the game treated you that way on purpose) and you're dare enough to challenge the locals through their invitational events, slowly reaching a way up to the top

Pro(s):
- Free-will decision system of going arcade-y or properly simulated (they provide you both choices seamlessly)
- Forgiving and adjustable mechanics (including predictable AI patterns) making this game less dreary and always open for improvements
- Mappable key bindings
- Free contents for the base game, (I personally appreciate this approach for the sake of variety and richness) and the base game itself offers a pack of varied race disciplines
- Stunning (I shouldn't overly exaggerate) visual quality, but they are really gorgeous and eye-pleasing
- As far as I'm experienced, this is the only title that Milestone HAS NOT gone too technical on their racing titles making it acceptable for wide range of players

Con(s):
- This game is NOT for competitive racers and completionists, as their mechanics direct players thoroughly become a better driver and not as high-level playground. I also encounters random freezes on (possibly more than one) several tracks
- This game's genre has been misplaced (possibly missing) because this is not a realistic racing simulation yet they still gives us an option to enjoy this game in an orderly linear progression
- This game deals vegetation rendering HORRIBLY. Either those assets not loaded properly or something inflicts the drawing process into the corresponding tracks. (such as Alaska) Strangely enough I have facing no issues on arena-based tracks or plantless tracks (no bushes, trees, and flowers)

Hopefully this verdict keeps final when I actually finished this. Sadly I'm unable to obtain Showman achievement due to this bug :c

-> Hello dev and design Milestone team -> and I really like the design of a game a realism of playtime and would even more happy if you.ll continue design it with new updates :

would nice to see as UPDATES in game :

-> new maps of terrains ( prefer long-roads/terrains however )

-> add new old-school and new perfomance vehicles ( also add please old post-soviet cars like NIVA 4x4 would be also nicer to see + upgrades : there some were captured even in movie about Iceland : The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) ) + old Toyota safari cars ... Porsche 356 Speedster rally edition ... other alike cars + maybe some trucks e.g.: rally/daKkar, old RENO wagon cars +

-> possibility to customize/paint/decals for vehicles and some styling updates bumper/ars/side-vents, etc

-> tires wear | refuel cars | other impact issues during long roads ride

-------

: & FIX please some issues also :>>

- make turning wheel when from 1st person more seamless/smooth on different speeds
- revise please speed-velocity when from view : ''1st person hood-only-left side view'' - speed think must be bit faster from this prospective
- make smoother wheel turns when from 3rd person view
- have glitch during when career ''off-road mode'' playing in Iceland - after apx~30% of track completed -> game freezed

---

- even do like the terrains like ICELAND so much ! :-> and would be even greater to see new options of maps/terrains like lets say : *scandinavian countries places, Canadian, NewZealand, maps/terrains and other where mountain landscape exist ( Montenegro, Croatia, Romaina://TRANSFAGARASAN road -> would be even cooler )

Thankful for what we have now and with hopes for new updates with time soon !

Quite enjoyed the career (medium difficulity, 9+ hours), it is a great arcade racer.
Playing a rally-like game with the classic Toyota Celica or the Lancia - fun!

Plus it looks gorgeous, runs OK, great variations in tracks, licensed vehicles. All fine.
But... to put paid DLC into career and block access to such events is a bit disgusting - like it was in Dirt3 as well.
Because of this I chose to NOT buy the DLCs.

Still I can recommend the game IF you wouldn't play it on a HDR capable screen.
HDR is forced in game (can't turn off) and mess up brightness - makes the game pretty much unplayable.
(there is a fix/hack but still not 100% ok like it is on a non-HDR display)

This is a difficult one. If you're on a PC I would recommend this game as it runs great and everything works and the game is mostly enjoyable. So thumbs up most definitely when it comes the the PC build. Now for my honest review of the mac version.

If you like to see crash reports, stutters and then more crashes then you've come to the right place. I believe it's an issue with shadows so may be fixable but is down to poor coding which I didn't experience on the PC. This brings me to the other major issue. Even though you can access the downloadable content it doesn't install on the mac, only PC. I know that there's a windows only icon but it shouldn't be accessible via the game and a workaround to install on mac is surely possible.

It's really sad as I have thoroughly enjoyed playing the game when it works and have had fun playing it. The rewind feature is handy (when the game stutters as it's silky smooth after). The graphics for the most part are great via my RX580 graphics card which chucks things around well for the most part. I really wish the developers had continue to work on this and the linux version and supported downloadable content and fixed the bugs. I believe these issues also exist for PC users but for me it was silky smooth be it at lesser detail.

So in conclusion. If you have a good PC then I think this game is great. If you have a mac that's not a state of the art mac I'd be cautious and definitely don't get any DLC as it's all broken.

A nice and funny off-road arcade game ruined by annoying occasional video refresh stutterings because of buggy Unreal shadowmaps (released in 2018, still affected in 2020) ????????‍♂️

I'm usually a fan of these lesser known games made by smaller developers or games that just about good ol' innocent racing.

What I like:
Racing can be fun
big trucks, cool cars
sound design is alright
graphics are ok
the big tracks are awesome, big jumps, good speed

what I dont like:
stadium races, esp the 1v1, super boring
races are also a bit too short

racing physics are weird, you tend to kick the rear out pretty easy and not a single car has enough torque to drift the corners. I think this game could benefit from a bit more weight in the physics for sure. Nothing wrong with a Sim-Cade game but I think this game would benefit more to go in one direction instead of both. Either full arcade or full sim.

This game suffers from an identity crisis (or lack of) and doesn't really excel in anything at all. Although I think I like this game more than I dislike it.
I think this game is fine if you want a mindless racing game and you pick it up on a deep sale.

Great fun and reminds of old arcade racers like Sega Rally, - just one gripe, definitely missed a trick with NO local split screen option as this would be a great game for local multiplayer. Do you really want to encourage teenagers to sit in a room on their own? I'd pay the big bucks for a split screen update!!!

This game is odd. It has a really nice arcade style handling model, everything flashes by quickly making the races very exciting and fun. The problem is that the career mode is extremely short so you'll quickly run out of things to do. Multiplayer was dead at launch and even more so now. Complete lack of other modes.

-Since the latest patch all maps have a horrible micro stutter.

as an offroad racing game and overall package:

horrible...

looks, sounds and plays like a mobile game, play something else like dirt3 with all assists on if you want arcade handling, this is just offensively dumbed down to a point where it doesn't feel right just too easy with forced in slipperyness etc.

voiceover and music are just bad, every unreal engine feature is overused, cars in the same category have 1.000 horsepower differences, the Ai is bad and too simple, cars stick to eachother when colliding, the rewind effect's vignette still doesn't have 21:9 support, tuning options have sliders but no measurements, handling never feels right or fully predictable, fireworks go off EVERYTIME you go past them, car interiors are too dark, etc
don't get me wrong if you REALLY want to buy it you will have some fun in certain races, especially rallycross at nigt with an awd 600hp car is kind of ok, but compared to dirt2 or dirt3 from 12 years ago it is very bad.

only buy it if your favorite game was sega rally and you enjoy the asphalt series on mobile or if you'res suuuper curious

The game was awesome and felt like a spiritual successor to Sega Rally until the developer decided to force a crappy HDR implementation down our throats (yes, it is NOT optional), rendering some of the tracks borderline unplayable and making an otherwise nicely looking game a pain to look at. Also, no reaction from the developer whatsoever. Do not buy.

Basically an overpriced mobile port of a arcade sim with the majority of content locked that needs to be bought via DLC. Spend your money elsewhere.

Why didn't I ask for a refund on this cash-grab of a game?

I rarely write bad reviews (if a game is bad, I cannot be bothered to review it). In this case, people need to be warned. Most of the (already overpriced) game is locked behind a pay-wall. Want to play the campaign? Ok, your £30 will let you start it, but be ready to cough up more cash if you want to get to the next set of races. As a gamer, I do not support such practices (and neither should you) - alas, I was too busy to ask for a refund before getting around to finding this out.

A real pity as the game really could have been the great follow up to Sega Rally that many of us would like to see. A pity when a studio's greed get in the way of delivering a fair deal and amount of content for the price. I am pretty sure that it is this overreaching greed that has already killed this game stone dead.

Pity, could have been a good game.
