Don't get me wrong, this game looks fantastic (especially in VR) and is a huge blast of fun in general especially if you have a steering wheel. But it also has some flaws, one of them rendering the game unplayable. I'm gonna start with the most game breaking flaw which are the servers, for some reason they decided its a good thing to have so that you have to always be connected to the racenet servers even if you wan't to play singleplayer. While still on the topic of servers i lost a good amount of progress on my career because the f'ing servers crashed or whatever the f' happend . I see absolutely no reason why the singleplayer requires me to be connected as i am only competing against myself and bots. This flaw isnt necessarily game breaking but it sure is annoying and that's the co-driver callouts, on certain stages the callouts are just completely wrong but like i mentioned its not really game breaking. Another flaw which i am pretty sure the majority of the player base can agree on with me is the massive paywall codemaster has put up on the content. Majority of the content that was included in the first installation of Dirt Rally is now locked behind their massive amount of DLC's. Yet another thing is the FFB for steering wheels, i feel like it also is a downgrade from the previous game. It doesn't tell you a lot of information on how your car is behaving and i feel like it's just weak in general. Although this opinion is subjective, i feel like the game is a massive downgrade from the first installation. So at this point if you were thinking of buying this game, just buy the first dirt rally instead.
