DiRT 4

A decent racing game so far, not as great as Dirt 2 or 3 but still a good racing game and one of the more underrated ones. Definitely worth checking out.

Very fun, even in 2025. Since it's delisted, it's worth picking up a Steam key if you get it less than $10 like I did.

Rallying game with your own preference if you wanna play it casually or in a simulation way.

relatively good racing game, just a little bit old, but sometimes that's even better :)

I enjoy playing this game. It's not like older games where you only just buy a car, then upgrades, then go race. In this one, you need to learn something called money management on when should you upgrade your team, as well as purchasing new cars for upcoming events.

I played this game over 5 years, across 3 PCs, using 2 controllers.
It has been a trusty comfort game, and I'm sad I've finished it because I'll probably never play it again. It was fun even when it ran at 15 fps on my mum's laptop, which at this point is half a potato. There's an absurd difficulty spike when moving up a difficulty preset mostly because of the AI which also has a wee quirk where it's ludicrously fast on straights in certain Sweden stages.
This is an excellent flow game, after getting kinda good at it, it becomes meditative.
I recommend moving up through the handling presets even if you're not ready for the more difficult AI opponents. Also try not to reset too much, play through your mistakes, if you go flying off a cliff because you were trying to make back the time you lost the last time you flew off a cliff, it's ok, try again and you'll make it to the next one.
I'll miss it, but I look forward to playing the other Dirt games.
Right sex.

Reasons to like this game:
+Physics are not bad, you feel weight transfer and the different drive trains and engine placement all have distinctly different feel
+Graphically holds up, real moments of "This is cool" but then sometimes you remember it's almost 10 years old.
+Random moments during a rally, like stopped broken cars, wildfires, adds to the feeling of being in a rally environment
+A good selection of cars for all modes and eras of racing
++The career mode is pretty cool in having to go from rags to riches in your own made up team with simple menus to facilitate that
+++Procedurally generated stages! No other rally game has made me pull up to a stage and not know what is ahead. It's the purest form of rally and developers need to give this another look. I'm tired of playing the same stages over and over again.
Reasons to not like the game:
-Landrush is an afterthought and more could have been put into the rally side such as another country to visit.
-Only 5 countries in rally is disappointing
-The co driver call outs can be flat wrong but that can be "driven" around as I'll explain later
--Online has been shut down which is a shame as competing in stages that no one knows would interest me greatly.
---After a while you start to realise that the stages are around 7-8 different little sections stitched together randomly with elevation changes that make up the "procedurally" generated stages. It gets to the point where you have memorised the sections and the codrivers calls that you know are wrong you can ignore.
The potential of this game shows off what having a possible infinite number of stages has at keeping a rally game fresh time after time. The career mode is fun, a decent length to keep you engaged, with challenges to keep you entertained. I just wish they would have dropped all the useless stuff and purely focussed on rally, worked more on more little sections, added 3-4 more countries and this would have been up there with the infinite possibilities of RBR. Even the stages that you can generate, customise, time, weather, length, complexity and amount of stages COUNT towards your career progress which makes you generate some of the most gruelling rally's I have ever done in a racing game. And every time I rolled up, I didn't know precisely what was around each corner, I only roughly knew, and wouldn't that be realistic to how a codriver would reccy beforehand?
