    WRC 5 looks really good. Changing the development team to Kylotonn had a clear impact on the quality of the game. Right now there's no point in comparing the new WRC game with the early-access DIRT. The most important thing to remember is this: WRC 5 is simply good. Still pretty far from ideal but a big step in the right direction.

    WRC 5 is not a spiritual successor of the first Colin McRae Rally games or a milestone for the genre, but still a solid racer with solid driving model and a decent-looking tracks.

    WRC 5 leaves a really mixed taste. Deep down it is quite enjoyable arcade racing, but as a whole it feels really rushed and made with a tight budget. Especially annoying is that Neste Oil Rally is still pretty far away from the real thing. And please, forget the last-gen consoles on the next game and put full effort on current devices. [Nov 2015]

    WRC 5 is a completely competent, inoffensive racing game, but it lacks the features that have become standard in the genre. Whether you’re a fan of simulation or arcade-style racers, there are many better alternatives out there.

    There is still fun to be had driving a car around smartly designed tracks, and WRC 5: FIA World Rally Championship might just do enough to occupy your time for a few days, but feeling rough around the edges, this is one game that might end up in the dust once its 2016 rivals arrive.

    While Kylotonn has made a dramatic improvement over Milestone's game with much more refined physics and a tremendous increase in graphics quality and sound, the game still has some inherent flaws. The Special stages are too few and a lot of bugs ruin the overall experience.

    WRC 5 sets out with the best of intentions, but poor implementation in many critical areas cripples the fun and leaves it stranded mid-stage.
