Gravel

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.

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.

Basically, DiRT on a budget and that's just what I wished for. I regret nothing.

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 there is a lot of content here to entertain your for a long time.

This game literally Dirt 5 with cheap budget. though the Dirt 5 itself was a crappy game.

Cross Country races reminding me of the old FUEL (2009) game. That's enough for me to say that Gravel is a good racing game. I would give it a solid 7/10

I like this better than Dirt 5.
