KT Racing’s Last WRC Experience Rise to all the challenges of the most comprehensive, realistic and demanding rally simulation ever developed. Dive into the heart of the action and drive the cars from the 2022 WRC championship, including the new hybrid models. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ATReviews]Follow My Review Group Here! About Description 💾Graphics The graphics are pretty solid for the most part. I will say the stages are incredibly detailed and are filled with life. The car models also look pretty solid, although I do feel like the reflections are kinda bad. Also the Racing UI is clean. The issues I have are the lighting and shadows. Now granted the night stages look really dark, but the lighting/shadows for the environment (trees, bushes, etc) don’t look the best and have aged pretty fast. It’s not super distracting, especially going fast on a stage, but still is noticeable. 🎮Gameplay WRC Generations has (in my opinion) some really solid physics! And I’m gonna even say they are better than EA WRC. I have confidence in what the car is doing here, handbrake feels really vital in many hairpins, and you do feel the difference in many surfaces. It’s all just a better and smoother experience in my opinion. Cars act how you would think they do. It’s not perfect by any means, but I had a much better time here then EA WRC. I was even able to put in some top 10 runs as well. WRC Generations features the 2022 WRC season. You can play with up to 37 cars, 49 Official Teams, and an incredible 22 Rally locations! Let’s talk about physics again for a little. The surfaces all just feel right. The tarmac gives great grip depending on conditions, the gravel and mud all feel different from each other as well. It’s all so well crafted, speaking of well crafted, the stages are near perfect! I’d say they are probably the best on Steam handsdown, and just a tier below the legendary Richard Burns Rally Stages. Damage models are pretty good too! Also the tire management is amazing in career and seasons mode. Another amazing feature that’s new is the livery sharing system. Now you can share and download liveries in the menu. It’s easy, fast, and intuitive (Unlike the horrible monetized EA WRC system). I do have some gripes though. For example the disappearance of historical rallies and career mode. This was an amazing feature in WRC 10 because it was both educational and fun to go through. Now granted it was the 50th anniversary during the games release so maybe I’ll let that slide. Another complaint is the pacenotes. Now yes, they do sound good and easy to understand. The problem I have with the pacenotes is they are really inaccurate in some stages and can throw you off. Another issue I have is that you can’t use custom liveries in career mode when you make your own team. They only work on quick play, which in my opinion is really dumb. Overall, the gameplay is amazing with some minor issues. 📜Story Just like its predecessor WRC 10, the campaign mode is actually really fun. Team management is polished in my opinion, and the calendar system is really easy to understand and straightforward. You can start off as a Junior WRC, and win the championship to have an opportunity to become a WRC 2 or WRC driver. You also have a perk tree you can gradually improve through the season which will improve your team's abilities. The progression is there, even though it may be a bit time consuming. If you don’t want to waste too much time on starting at the beginning, you can always start as a WRC driver so don’t worry. Also if you don’t want to do the Team management, you can just play Season’s mode which allows you to play the championship without the tedious Team management. 🕛Playtime Playtime is pretty good, especially with the engaging career mode. I’d say you can easily sink up to 30+ hours into this game, especially since you have tons of stages to play on. Sadly you can’t create your own championship (like EA WRC), so that may take aways some of the needed replayability. 🎧Sound The sound design is pretty lackluster. Cars sound bad in the interior cam, but the exterior cam they sound pretty good, but nowhere near the level of detail as EA WRC. The pacenotes also sound fine with no issues. After playing EA WRC, this is the games biggest weakness by far. Now granted, it’s not game breaking or unbearable, but it could have been so much better. ❗Bugs❗ I encountered no bugs from my experience. I do feel like this game is well polished when it comes to technical issues like bugs. You will have no issues here! 🔅Performance I’d have to say that performance is kinda weak here. I was just barely scratching above 60 fps in this game on High settings. Some stages do run much better than others (obviously), but overall this game needed some more improvement in the optimization. Luckily I had zero stutters and crashes so that’s a big plus. ✔️Pro’s [*]Good livery editor [*]In depth career mode [*]Test map (great for practice) [*]Incredible detail in rally stages [*]Many fun and challenging stages [*]Official cars/teams from the 2022 season [*]Can publish and install community liveries [*]Able to drive (and design via livery) classic rally cars [*]Good tuning (Hybrid mapping, suspension, tire options, gearbox, etc) [*]Physics feel consistent, fun, and challenging (gravel feels loose and tarmac feels grippy) ❌Con’s [*]Visuals are a mix bag [*]Sound design is not great [*]Pacenotes in some stages are not accurate [*]Can’t use your custom livery for career mode 🏆Rating 8/10 I’d say this game is probably worth the full price if you are a Rally fan. If not, probably wait for a sale. 🔗Conclusion WRC Generations is the last WRC title made by KT Racing, and it’s sad to see them go. After playing EA WRC and how lifeless and monetized it feels, It just rubs salt on the wound for fans of the KT Racing WRC games. If you want a “sim” rally experience, then get this or WRC 10. It’s fun, and has amazing stages, career mode, and cars. You won’t be disappointed. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1953520/WRC_Generations__The_FIA_WRC_Official_Game/ Specs for Review: [*]GPU: RTX 3080 (Laptop GPU) [*]CPU: Intel Core i7-11800H 4.6 GHz [*]RAM: 32GB Ram

Great Rally game overall. WRC1 cars handling seems pretty good. Less front grip than EA Sports WRC, which sounds more accurate with the weight those cars have. Tarmac is really nicely simulated. Gravel is pretty decent also and snow is passable, but a bit too high grip on snow/ice (with studded tires) it feels like. Stages are pretty fun to drive. Lots of countries also. Wish there were more stages though. Compared to EA WRC game, in this you can actually drive into fences and bushes that will break then as well as you can change the tires individually for each wheel as well as the 2 backup tires, which you cannot do on EA WRC where fences are all just concrete objects that don't move etc. Now the only major problem with this game is Sound. Its pretty bad. Co driver lines are mixed badly, sometimes the voice changes on some tracks, like some corners were recorded in different studio by different actor. Car sounds are also pretty bad, but passable. Gravel hitting the car is barely even heard on the cockpit view and the sound reverb is also quite weak. Plays well on Linux with proton. No stability issues or performance problems. Online Events are still active to this day. This game also doesn't have kernel level malware like EA Sports WRC does. Works great with my Logitech G920 and Arduino Handbreak. Ryzen 5800X3D, RTX 3080, Arch Linux 2560x1440 Settings maxed, Reflex enabled, Motion blur off, DLSS off 100-140 FPS 8/10

If you're using a controller, use these settings for the left and right stick: -4 sensitivity 10 deadzone Rescale ON Run a few tracks to get used to the response time and enjoy playing with the chase cam. Crisp graphics, season mode without employee babysitting, decent replays and great tracks. Welcome to one of the best rally experiences on PC. Worth it at full price.

After reading all the negative reviews, I almost didn't buy this. But so glad I did. WRC Generations is a great value when deeply discounted, right now 65% off. Tons of tracks, great smooth graphics, and works great with my Fanatec Wheel once you are able to set it up. I Almost requested a refund because no matter what, it wouldn't work with my Fanatec DD CLS wheel, but I finally figured it out and will save you a ton of frustration. I simply switched from my front USB to a back one on my computer and Voila, it worked! I used the default profile and everything works perfectly now. Just make sure that you have the steering inverted on ONE side. The force feedback is just as good as Dirt Rally 2.0, so I'm guessing they recently improved it or else all the complainers are exaggerating or have something setup wrong. I used Fanalab recommended settings also. Generations is the only WRC game already setup in Fanalab. I have over 93 hours playing my favorite game Dirt Rally 2.0 and usually rank in the top 20% in World events, so I will give a honest comparison. Graphics and animations are more vibrant in WRC, Physics are just as good in my opinion. Crashes are much more realistic in WRC Genations and tracks are more challenging. If your getting a little burned out with the same tracks in Dirt Rally 2, then Generations will solve that for you. The only big negative I have for WRC, is there is no VR. I usually play racing games in VR, but decided to take a break from my Reverb G2 and actually still find it enjoyable on my 58" 4K HDTV. WRC is a lot of fun and very challenging and a great change from Dirt Rally for me. I have no regrets for buying WRC generations and highly recommend getting it when it is on sale.

Im just a casual controller cowboy when it comes to racing games and a wrc fan, not a sim racer, so with that out of the way I must say I had/have so much fun with this game. It runs great, the cars feel amazing and the career mode is great. Highly recommend !
