Played the 5 hour trial via EA Play at launch, decided to buy the full game week after. Refunded.

Some patches came through, but it fixed pretty much nothing. Game still performs very poorly, stutters every 10 seconds, framerate drops below 60 even on decent PC, visible texture loading even when installed on SSD. Graphics look horrible for a 2023 game, 4 year old DiRT Rally 2 looks and performs better than this one.

We can't also forget about the classic EA greediness and hiding some content behind paywall ("Rally Pass") and their subscription. I don't really understand why you need to pay for a subscription when you literally OWN the game and paid 50 euro for it.

If your coming from DiRT Rally 2, you are really not missing out. Buy this game in about 6 months when those performance issues will be fixed and also 70% off like on every EA title.

5/10
