I bought this game like a hour ago, installed it and ran it. The optimization is superb and graphics are stunning. The suspension model in this game is insane, more realistic than, say, in dirt rally 2.0 . I played with a ps4 controller and the situational vibrations on were cool i suppose, but frankly, this is not the game that you should play with a controller, even tough, it is possible. The steering wit controller is very sharp and thus, uncomfortable. I tried to set linearity to minimum and it helped a bit, but still there were issues with it. The handling model in this game is insane. The main 2 features that make this game better than other titles, i think, are handling, especially on TARMAK, and its stunning graphics. Just for that, i will rate it better than RBR.

In conclusion, 10 broken suspensions on unfortunate bumps out of 10

Will definitely play it on my steering wheel when i am back home! Thanks for reading!

Bought to support the developement. Game is not optimized yet, it need optimization. I am playing with a i5 11400h, 16 RAM and RTX3060 (laptop 95w). I get around 30-60 fps in 1366x720p and mid settings and i think it is not normal. Most people with higher end setups complain about optimization too.
In short you can buy it for longterm usage and support for kunos. Game needs more content, optimization, multiplayer and mod support which we will see probably after realese but for now we don't have much. This game is like a vine bottle sitting in a vine cellar, it needs time to be better.

What can i say ? In short, i recommend you play this game.

Now, let's talk about what i like about this game in detail.
At first, my first dirt series game was Colin Mcrae's dirt 2. I still think it is a really good arcade ralling game out there.
After that game i played all other games of this series. When i played dirt rally it was very different than previous arcadeish rally games and i loved it, i loved the challange and the difficulty. Dirt rally 2.0 imo, got best features from previous games.

Graphics:

Graphics of this game are very good, the rain effects on ground, sun bunnies wet roads , snow and etc makes this game look so much good. Personally i really like racing in rainy weather just to see the authentic weather effects in this game, simply lovely.

SFX:

Well, car engine sounds are great. Effects of roads, of gravel snow are cool too. I just would have loved to have co driver voice to be customisable for example with different person speaking in same language. Co drivers can speak in many languages in this game but they can't choose between variations of the language. What if i want my co driver to be a scottish person ??? Or i want my co driver to speak in "Sheki" accent of Azerbaijany language ? Customisable Co driver voiceovers would have been lovely.
It would have been good if there was trainging missions where game would teach you different aspects of rallying for example callout like "crest" "4 right 150" "Opens don't cut haripin right entery" and etc. You would think that these are basic thing that drivers would understand right out of the bat but introdoction to this callouts would have been great.

Game play:

The gameplay is repetative but the thing is there are daily, weekly and monthly races where you can't restart the race and being for example 50th place in the world in weekly race is great feeling. The rallycross secrtion of the game is really good too. Let's talk about physics in game. It is great on gravel but on tarmac it feels little bit weird but i like it.

In conclusion i would give this game 9/10 in simracing games cathegory (RBR is the 10/10 obv, thats why dr2 got 9/10)
Play it and play it with at least gamepad and ideally with a steering wheel.
Please award me if you liked the review.

great game, spent 1.5 hour on 1 match with my friend

+Parkur, Zombie, Cool Plot, Online, DLC. Паркур, Много Крутых Видов Зомби, Хороший Сюжет, Хоррор, Крутой Онлайн. - Ночью Страшно.

It is an excelent game with excelent graphical capabilities. It has mostly different kinds of settings for controls which allows you to play as it is an simulator or make it so easy that even a todller could play it. Also, it is compatible with steering wheels like g25-27-29 and etc. Aditionally it has vast varienty of cars and car brands that you maybe have heard. Some of them are really ridiculous in a good way and some of them are fun to drive. I think if you buy this game on sale it would worth the money. If it was me, and it was not on sale i would buy Forza horizon 5 as it has more of what forza horizon 4 has and also i would buy forza horizon 5 because it has more player playing it.

---------UPDATE----------
So, I played Fh4 for longer period now i found several flaws.

THE ONLINE

As i played fh4, my friends wanted to join me on journey across UK so they tried aaaand it did not go well.
A lot of errors while connecting, crashes and bugs while playing online via convoy system.


SOUNDS

Terrible. Go watch videos with comparison of sound in FH3-4-5 you will definitely see the difference.

DLCs

Fortune island - REALLY GOOD ( A piece of map where you can drift like in initial D)
Hotwheels - NOT RECOMMENDING
Lego - ABSOLUTE TRASH
did not buy or try other dlc but i thing they are useless and waste of money as well.

I thing that is all the flaws i have seen so far.

Shortly about the good aspect of the game

A lot of cars, 716 to be precise.

Good graphics

A lot of offline races and pretty good online matchmaking races

Variety of Customization (liverie, car parts, horns, character appearance)

The TrackTOR.

Hacknet is one of the most interesting games i have ever played. It has an interesting gameplay, interesting quests and additionally, extensions ( basicly "dlc"s). In this game you are playing as a hacker who completes quests from fractions and they are interesting ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ :D ! Btw it has storyline like WOW. I highly recommend you to play this game, and when you play this game just read all the IRC files, they are hilarious ). The ending is logical and cool. So, concluding all my experience about this game i higly recomend you to play it. SO, GO AND BECOME A HACEKRMAN, THE MOST POWERFULL MAN IN THE WORLD ( of course you do not do real hacking but it seems like real hacking lol )

The long dark is a survival simulator with intersting story mode. In this game you can: Fight with wolfs, scare wolf, kill, wolfs, scare away a pack of timberwolfs, try to start a fire with 45 percent succes chance, try to find secret bunkers and a lot, a LOT interesting things. If you like spicy emotions, you should play this game in the max difficulty level. The game is well optimized. Even i, on my old notebook, ( AH531: core i3-2328m, Intel hd graphics 3000 4gb ram) could play this, in 800x600 of course but i can play it on this configuration. Btw if you have problem with "Fake fullscreen" problem (You have black strips
while playing on non-native screen resolution) you should write in the launch properties command " -window-mode exclusive " ( without quotes) and launch the game. If it did't help you, just restart the game without this command and relaunch it with command and it should work!. My point is this game is THE BEST SURVIVAL GAME WITH STORY MODE THAT I HAVE EVER PLAYED !!!!!! 11 GREY MOTHER'S SOUPS OUT OF 10 . I SUGGEST YOU TO BUY IT WHILE IT IS CHEAP AND PLAY IT !!!!! 11/10

so much coiche !!!!

hate this game but nicee
