It’s not so great when it happens to you, though…

It’s satisfying and it feels great to overtake a rival by pulling off a sexy drift and splattering a heap of dirt on their windshield. DIRT 5 leans more towards arcade racing with its handling being quite forgiving, even encouraging you to throw caution as you go barreling around hairpins with the handbrake pulled hard. High-speed thrills, big dirty drifts, and an escape from the realism of other racers. The racing is top-notch and it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from a DIRT release. I’m here to race and trade paint, not listen to grown men trade pleasantries. Unless, of course, you’re a fan of the podcast in real life. Unlike Codemasters’ F1 2020, where the narrative is played out with actual cut-scenes, this is all voice-over and not all that engaging. The Podcast host is flat out annoying with his over-enthusiastic delivery, while Troy Baker delivers his usual lazy charm, which doesn’t work on me. The rest of the career mode is fantastic. I’ll tell you now – I didn’t give a hoot for it – the narrative, that is. I took on the career mode first to get a taste for this new “narrative” career where Troy Baker and Nolan North are the stars, alongside the real-life Doughnut Podcast.

#DIRT 3 PC HANDBRAKE FULL#
Whatever it is you’re looking for in a DIRT racing game, you’ll find it here, and then you’ll find some more, because DIRT 5 is full of stuff to do, unlock, and collect. The big addition to DIRT 5 is the introduction of Playgrounds – a brand new mode where user-generated content takes centre stage. It’s all Skodas are good for anyway.ĭIRT 5 offers a great variety of stuff to do with a deep career mode that I am admittedly not yet done with, online multiplayer with a slew of modes, as well as free-play and time trials. I’ve spun out a Ford Mustang on the frozen river of New York City, and I’ve used a Skoda as a makeshift battering ram.

I’ve thrown Mitsubishis around mud tracks in China. I’ve spent the last few days abusing DIRT 5’s car collection.
#DIRT 3 PC HANDBRAKE SERIES#
And, despite me already getting this version of the game at no cost for review purposes, Codemasters has earned my purchase on the Xbox Series S – the only next-gen console I’ve managed to pre-order.
