#DIRT 4 VS DIRT 5 SERIES#
I played Dirt 5 on the Xbox Series X and it was extremely quick to restart a race and apply what I learned about the track to my next attempt. You end up losing your lead if you were in first place, but you can also restart a race from the beginning and try again. Unlike other racing games, mistakes like this aren’t exactly punishing because the game will simply reset you to the track, kind of like in Mario Kart. RIP to all the cars I sent off cliffs in Dirt 5.
The first time I encountered a map where you could actually drive off a cliff, my clumsy self put that map feature to the ultimate test. The AI opponents aren’t the only ones who can go off cliffs, though. “You’re certainly not making any friends out there,” as the game would say. For example, there were a number of races where I was able to push virtual AI opponents off cliffs, into walls, or into other AI opponents in order to get ahead. It’s cruel and hilarious at the same time. The races are also less about you doing everything perfectly and more about you bodying other cars to victory. Dirt 5 is a game that can quickly become an addiction, again, because of its simplicity. “A few more races” quickly turned into me playing for several hours. I was also surprised by how long I’d end up playing the game for. I was genuinely surprised by just how much I loved playing Dirt 5, and how I kept wanting to return to the game on a daily basis to play more of the campaign. If you want a mellow, forgiving, stripped-down racing game, then Dirt 5 will appeal to you.Īs for why I’m going to be reviewing the game positively for the most part, I don’t see it as a negative for a game to be simple, forgettable fun when it’s done correctly like it is in Dirt 5. If you want a complex racing game that’ll put your racing skills to the test, Dirt 5 isn’t it. It’s obviously going to be nothing like Dirt Rally, but in many ways it’s even more of an arcade racer than Dirt 4 was as well. There are a lot of racing games out there tailored to the hardcore racing crowd, Dirt 5 isn’t one of them.
