I love how you can truly feel the different surfaces in how your vehicle performs. This light-speed calculus becomes even more complicated when you have to take into account other vehicles that can soften your cornering, or how the different surfaces feel when you’re going into a turn at 60 miles-per-hour I can be more reckless on muddy surfaces than I can on ice, while the pavement is much less conducive to drifting.

Performing well in Dirt 5’s races requires you to master the delicate balance of when to accelerate, brake, and throw the handbrake for harsh drifts. I loved tearing through a muddy course under the shimmering Aurora Borealis in Norway and drifting around an icy corner with New York’s Roosevelt Island Bridge serving as the backdrop.

Thanks to the tight, precise controls, traveling the world and speeding past the beautiful sights feels awesome. With a variety of events to take on, you’re never at a shortage of routes to drive and donuts to do.ĭirt 5 continues the series’ hallmark of delivering terrific off-road racing. Dirt 5 embraces approachable, arcade-style gameplay, enabling more players to enter the race. Muddy tires, breakneck speeds, and whiplash-inducing drifts are the name of the game with Dirt 5, the latest off-road racing title from rally veterans Codemasters.
