DiRT 5 Reviews
Overall, Dirt 5 is a fun play. The easy to learn controls, fun arcade-like racing style, and craziness that playgrounds deliver makes this game a must-have for anyone who wants to play a racing-style game without the seriousness that comes along with sim-style racing like Dirt Rally 2.0 or some of the other Dirt titles
Codemasters will be making WRC-licensed games from 2023, so I think that Codemasters wants to provide players with less demanding but still enjoyable racing.

DiRT 5 is a good game. Not the best of the series, but far from the worst. It is excessively beautiful and a whole lot of fun. It will please the fan of racing games, but mostly the ones that just like to play from time to time. Those looking for realism will probably pass on that one.

Dirt 5 is purely an arcade racer that knows exactly what it is aiming for. It does not let you wait long. It puts you directly behind the wheel, facing rain, snow, mud, ice, difficult turns, jumps and many more driving obstacles. It is neither the richest racing game out there in terms of content, nor the most realistic. Surely, however, it can offer eyepopping spectacle and plenty of fun.

Dirt 5 shows up on the market with a convincing formula that aims to entertain players with the possibility of participating in many and well diversified races with tracks and circuits achieved almost to perfection. The visual impact is surely the part that astonishes most in this Codemasters’ work with tracks and effects that wrap the entire experience and make it surprising even within an only race.

Overall, the experience of playing Dirt 5 delivers on what racing fans might expect. The price point for the game is right where it should be at $59.99 even though it is a next-gen title. I recommend playing the game on the PlayStation 5 so you can experience the potential of the DualSense with haptic feedback and the HD rumble. I found myself enjoying Dirt 5 for short bursts of play before wishing I could go back to other blockbuster titles that satiated my hunger for story content and progression. I look forward to seeing how Codemasters improves upon this experience with their next installment in the Dirt franchise.
Dirt 5 is just fun, unfiltered fun. A great arcade racer with amazing visuals and very easy to pick up and play, just like the old times.

Dirt 5 brings new and innovative elements to the series while keeping true to its roots. With enough tracks, dynamic weather, and comunity made maps, Dirt 5 is one of the best racing arcade games you can play at the moment.

Dirt 5 is one of the most enjoyable arcade racing games out there, with colorful visuals to boot. The handling of the vehicles could do with a bit more polish, but the core concept is solid and offers plenty of adrenaline filled races.

DIRT 5 is the 14th game in the legendary Colin McRae Rally series of games, and 8th under the Dirt brand. Codemasters have pushed these games in so many directions over its 22 year span. I was right there on day one 1998, playing the original on my PlayStation. It created this overwhelming rush of excitement rallying cars through the mud and winding country roads of Scotland. So much has changed since then, but one thing that’s remained constant. The rush; red lining the revs in a Ford Fiesta, feeling your wheels slip across the loose terrain, torrential rain downpours and sprays of mud across the screen. That’s all still here, but the experience is amplified to an incredible level of realism.
Dirt 5’s sublime racing experience is held back by a lackluster online feature set.
DIRT 5 fills your screen with confetti and a party atmosphere. But that, sadly doesn’t change the fact that for as hard as Codemasters try, its one of the most lackluster racing games released this year with boring races and uninspired racetracks.

Between the campaign, the online, and the Gymkhana, you’ll have more than enough to keep you occupied and keep you coming back for more and more. And if DiRT 5 is any indication whatsoever, I truly believe it’s the racing genre that will benefit most of all from this gen. if this how things look and play from day one, I cannot wait to see how this hardware is used a few years from now. Simply stunning!
The end result not only justifies the company and its people, it is also an excellent and complete game, unique of its kind, and hardly anyone will be left dissatisfied.

Dirt 5 is one of the most satisfying and fun racing games that I’ve played in recent years!
DIRT 5 represents more than the return of a franchise to its “noisiest” days. It is an extremely fun and enjoyable game that will serve as a bridge between the current and the next generation.
DiRT 5 has slight flaws, but it will still give you hours of adrenaline with its huge variety of tracks and weather conditions. Creating unusual and improbable layouts is also a interesting activity.

DiRT 5 offers us a game that seeks to entertain without further pretensions, giving us more than enough content to spend a few afternoons, either with the trajectory mode, playing online or testing the dozens of arenas created by the community. With more than 60 cars and its "anything goes" philosophy, it will entertain us in short games that you link until time passes by.

Dirt 5 is a content-rich title that fills the gap of a quality racer this fall season. It teeters the line between being an authentic rallycross game and a more casual, arcade-focused experience. However, Dirt 5 plays its role exceptionally well. Broadening its audience base will likely pay off. Plus, with the incorporation of the Playground mode, emphasis on community-driven content will likely see the game thrive as time goes on.
Dirt 5 is a solid arcade experience filled with fun moments that is unfortunately held back by it's technical issues in its current state.
