'Finding the balance between going as fast as you can but also being careful about not being bested by the track and ultimately crashing your car in the most devastating way possible is what makes this game such a thrill at its core.'īecause it is really the Simulation mode where Dirt 4 is at its best. When you’re comfortable enough with what the game tries to be, you can finally jump into Simulation mode- not a choice you have to make, by any means, but definitely one that is recommended. With plenty of driving assists, much more responsive, slightly arcade-like mechanics, Gamer mode lets you get familiar and eventually comfortable with the game’s systems. Gamer mode is a great entry point for those who are looking for an accessible experience and don’t play too many rally simulation games.

For those who are not that deeply entrenched in the racing simulation genre as some others might be, though, there’s the Gamer mode, which takes the mechanics of the game and tones them down to a great extent. Simulation, as the name suggests, is a difficulty that is catered towards rally simulation veterans, and for those who played and were able to master the mechanics of Dirt Rally, you’ll feel quite at home with this mode. Right as you boot the game, Dirt 4 gives you the option to select between two difficulty modes- Gamer and Simulation. What’s more, it takes the franchise back to its rally roots, taking cues from Dirt Rally, while also making sure that it’s not nearly as inaccessible as the 2015 game was. Nearly every conceivable flaw you can list that could potentially hinder the experience in a rally racer, Dirt 4 manages to address with an astounding an ingenious simplicity.

D irt 4 is almost the perfect rally game.
