It gives you a good idea of ​​what the Dakar is, especially at the most challenging level. Overall the game feels like a breath of fresh air in the world of motorsport, especially the navigation system. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3443719900 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3443721781

Buy this instead of dogshit newer game from Saber Interactive. It works better, without hiccups It looks better It drives better, without AI what pushes you around It FEELS better, where you can have sense of adventure and risk of getting lost in the middle of the dunes It allows you to walk outside of your car to use shovel to dig yourself out of sand or mud or help fellow competitors to get unstuck

Better than Dakar Desert Rally in almost every way. Some might consider this game an acquired taste, but it's damn satisfying if you do acquire the taste for it. A showcase of when it comes to terrain, a straight line isn't always the fastest route.

I can say without a doubt , this game is a winner. We can sit here and nit-pick all day long like some other reviews which say the co-driver is screaming, it doesn't support VR blah blah blah... but show me another game that costs $2,99 (on sale) with 2 out of 3 DLC that is free and gives you this kind of cool driving experience in unique conditions with a variety of vehicles and the ability to be PvP as well. Not many games like this out there at this price! Pick it up, you can thank me later.
