  • Summary: In WRC 5, you can start to drive at early morning, in the middle of the day, during the sunset or even during the night. These different moments of the day allow you to experience various atmospheres (morning fog, dazzling sunset) and the headlights’ ramp will be very useful for the night stages.

    WRC 5 is surprisingly good for a studio’s debut in the rally games genre but it’s pretty obvious that the developer ran out of time and money too fast. [13/2015, p.39]

    WRC 5 really is the most fun I’ve had with a racer this year, giving you a phenomenal handling model, sticking you on a course and largely leaving you to attack it. What more could you want?

    Rough around the edges, yet with plenty of fun to be had. [Christmas 2015, p.94]

    WRC 5 on the PlayStation 4 is good rally game but is lacking that next-gen feel and look.

    It really is just a "mixed bag" of a game because it doesn't know to which audience it refers to. It is never truly casual and certainly not a simulation game. As a result almost no one will truly be satisfied with what Kylotonn delivered.

    New engine, new developer and hundreds of experts are, apparently, not enough. Kylotonn Games does not deliver what should be the best rally game in 2015. Full licenses and good graphics, but the physics are totally off. Combining annoying co-drivers and crashing into objects that aren't there makes this the most disappointing WRC yet.

Just compared it with Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo and I can surely say that WCR5 has some more control settings and welcome handling. I choose WCR5 between them. Expand

    I missed WRC - World Rally Championship "the first one".
    Still not as good as the first but good enough to remember and spend a good time

The game isThe best WRC game is the first one on new gen consoles. The biggest improvement is the visuals, this game is actually very pretty. The game is fun and driving mechanics are not that difficult to get used to and it generally feels a little arcade like. There are options however to make the game more difficult for those who want to. But otherwise a really solid rally game that anyone who loves rally will enjoy. Expand

This game is virtually unplayable because of how bad the screen tearing is. By far the worst screen tearing of any game on the ps4 period.
    I have no idea how this wasn't patched. Did they run out of money? It means a lot for me to say this because I bought it at an extremely steep discount since it's older, which means I would normally be extremely forgiving. Seriously though, avoid this game like the plague on PS4.

    It's a real disgrace, the Ps3 version of this is even more comedy.
