The brand then came with its own tasks such as completing Land Rush events and performing specific jumps. There’s also the sponsorship mechanic that let me sign with a brand such as AMD. These were never too tough to complete either and within the first lap, I had mostly completed them all. Every race includes a handful of side objectives to complete which often revolve around drifting a set number of times, staying in the air for a set amount of seconds or staying at the number one spot for a few seconds. You can also change the overall AI difficulty in the options menu but even on medium, these opponents were manageable.Īt the same time, DiRT 5 also offers some cool ways to approach these campaign challenges. Sure, some user may find this offputting, but there’s always the Arcade mode where you can set up your own track, set the difficulty and race. Not to mention the campaign never felt too difficult and even later on in the last chapters, the AI was a decent challenge, the dift score requirements were reasonable and the time trials never felt as if I was cutting it close. Thankfully, the game’s bite-sized races make chewing through the content easy enough. Sure, most of them are repeats but in reverse but that is a lot of content to digest. Its campaign alone will keep you busy for hours and while the activities slowly start to blend together, it delivered enough to keep me going. With that being said, this review is based on the PS4 version of the game.ĭiRT 5 is a meaty racer. However, I will share a full report when possible. While I played the game on both Xbox Series X and PS4, I cannot disclose any information about the next-gen experience at this stage. You can just get the game and enjoy it on your fancy new PS5 and Xbox Series console at 120Hz I might add. You don’t need to know anything about the series. With new consoles on the horizon, this new game makes it extremely approachable for all gamers. The new approach DiRT 5 takes simply makes sense for its launch timing. It gave me the opportunity to race across the hills of Lion’s Head in Cape Town without worrying about tight bends, my suspension, or fine-tuning anything about my car. If anything, I have not enjoyed a DiRT game this much in years. This approach makes it easy to simply pick up and play the game while at the same time you don’t need to be a racing game enthusiast to enjoy it. DiRT 5 is an arcade racer and has dropped the serious off-road persona for something more casual. However, all this comes with a downside too. DiRT 5 has a lot of style which oozes into the game’s racing, menus, soundtrack and cars. The entire game is vastly different from the other mainstream entries in the series and the “paint” is a lot more colourful than ever. There’s no doubt that DiRT 5 has received a new coat of paint this year.
