WRC 9 is one of the best rally games to date. It still is a simcade, but remains true to its formula, giving players a lot of new content with upgrades around every corner and on each course. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3366153828

I've been playing rally games for years, and WRC 9 nails the experience perfectly. The physics feel so realistic – every drift, jump, and rough corner keeps you on your toes, especially when driving in different weather conditions. The graphics are stunning, bringing each location to life with amazing detail. Plus, the sound design is spot-on; you can feel the car roaring as it powers through each stage. Career mode is genuinely engaging, with well-thought-out challenges and car upgrades that keep things fresh. The addition of new rally locations and events adds a whole new level of variety and excitement, and the online multiplayer lets you compete with other players worldwide, which is a blast. Overall, WRC 9 offers an incredibly immersive and polished rally racing experience that feels rewarding at every turn. Highly recommend it to rally enthusiasts and newcomers alike! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

You know, the game is cool. Much better than I expected when I was buying my first rally! Special stages look really lovely Graphics is fine (trees and fans could be better) Physics is a bit casual, but is on a really nice level Music fits great Difficulty is high (at least for newcomers)

WRC 9, for me, is kind-of similar to Dirt Rally 2.0 in terms of realistic-simulation-ish physics. But both games are my favorite don't get me wrong. And this is also my first time playing WRC series rally game as well. This review will be slightly bias due to comparison to Dirt Rally 2.0 in many aspects, and note this review is based on first impression, only a very limited amount of research was done before review Additional notes: Im playing this game with a xbox one controller primarily. I did tried with my trusty Logitech G923 steering wheel, and it is a hassle/unfun to use IMO (plus needing to limit your game to 60 fps else force feedback breaks) So, for the good things I've experience from WRC 9: - The handling is absolutely satisfying to steer, even on 4WD, FWD or RWD. - For the feel of driving on different surfaces, it is fine and mostly on-par with Dirt Rally 2.0 , but the good thing is it feels right when driving on tarmac/asphalt compare to whatever the heck Dirt Rally 2.0 does with its horrendous physics. - And for the rally tracks, as I am aware since I done some research before, is hand-made and even some of them are very exciting and challenging to play with, which is a win! - And there are plenty selection for tires types too, even though I didn't really care, but its a nice touch compare to Dirt Rally 2.0. - Adding more fun to a racing game is a must, and I'm very glad that WRC includes a split-screen mode too! Plus, I never though that a co-driver mode is possible too, which is very cool (Even though I can't find any match to try out) Other than that, I do have some negative when playing WRC 9: - Remember that I said the feeling on driving different surface is just "fine"? Well yea, this game only does an amazing job on replicating tarmac/asphalt grip but not really on gravel and some other surfaces, cuz those are either slippery or very slippery. - Car variety are extremely lacking, like seriously about 23 types of vehicles to choose from? And almost majority of the vehicle behaves the same in terms of performance and behavior. Come on, Dirt Rally 2.0 does that better with 81 cars (included DLC) - When talking about hand-made tracks, I understand trying to balancing out the feel of "too much corner" vs "bruh that was easy" is difficult, but seriously, some of the tracks have waaay too much cornering and it felt like the road is build by an idiot civil engineer. - Micro-stutter are notable when observing closely, but not destructive. Just pointing that out. Edit Add-ons: - Game's audio presentation is extremely lacking. Simply speaking, audio is horrendous, from vehicle sounded like boiling water to someone putting gravel in a can and shake it to simulate gravel. Its just so horrible that I rather listen to the co-driver than whatever the sound they produce. - Career is not bad, but tedious and unnecessary imo. I appreciate managing crew morale, manufacture morale, unlocking perks and stuff is pretty standard for patting out content, but again, a lot of stuff literally is just role-playing a rally organisation that I don't care. (and I just wanna drive) Edit 2: Yes I just found out there is one without crew management, and its called Season. Overall, WRC 9 is pretty solid game, although content wise is lacking in terms of vehicle varieties and tracks, but it can mostly be excused by the extra split-screen and unique co-driver mode as an additional fun.

I don't think the hairpins are that cute, tbh. But for real, similarly to WRC 7, this game hits that sweet spot between arcade and simulation. It's no Dirt Rally, but you still have to pay attention to what you're doing. Really good selection of tracks and it even has some I haven't seen in DR, like Japan. No idea how this plays with a wheel, I use Xbox controller. Also, runs acceptably on my GTX1050 2gb. Obviously not a steady 60fps on high settings, but it gets the job done and the game looks beautiful even with lower settings. Recommended during sales.
