WRC 10 Reviews
For quite a few years the rally genre was dominated by Codemasters and their Colin McRae series – and later Dirt/Dirt Rally. Throughout every console generation, there’s been a competitor for the rally crown and after a few years of trying, KT Racing finally nailed it last year with WRC 9 (check out our Xbox and Nintendo Switch reviews). This year, the developer is back with WRC 10. Not only does it improve on last year’s already stellar title, it also adds plenty more to the series.
WRC 10 manages not only to maintain the high level of quality of its previous version, but it also solves several problems and adds a lot of content that will please many fans of racing, mud and dust. Responsive and very demanding in its controls, it brings beautiful visuals and abundant modes, proving to be one of the best options of the genre.

I always thought of the official WRC video games as inferior to such classics as Colin McRae Rally or Richard Burns Rally. WRC 10, however, made me reconsider my opinion as I discovered how good this game is, offering the players realistic yet newbie-friendly driving physics, a ton of content, and fantastic tracks to drive through. There are some hiccoughs on the way, i.e. annoying pop-up, occasional glitches, or empty multiplayer lobbies, but overall WRC is a great rally game, even though it is not as good as the DiRT Rally series.

Rally fans will find plenty of things to do across the large roster of content. Players new to the series will find the game to be a compelling pack, but those coming from WRC 9 will find very little to love.
A few issues with the visuals take the shine off of WRC 10 which is otherwise yet another authentic, enjoyable rally game from KT Racing. Not a vast amount has changed since WRC 9 but what new content that has been added, including the Anniversary Mode which celebrates 30 years of the sport, does just enough to make this a worthwhile annual iteration for the series.
WRC 10 shines when it’s not trying to lure you in with a load of flashy bullshit. Instead, it’s best when it’s got you on the track, careering through chicanes or clinging on for dear life as you hoist yourself through a hairpin.
WRC comes to the next-generation more polished than ever.

WRC 10 is the best the WRC series has ever been. It might not be the biggest leap in improvements, but the refinement of the vehicle control, the improved physics, new tweaks to the career – just as time-consuming as last year’s – and the increased legendary car/track count help make the return to the series a good one.
WRC 10 retains the basics of the series built over the years but does not offer any new changes in return.
If you are not a hardcore rally fan and you already own either Dirt Rally 2.0 or WRC9, you can keep your money in your pocket. WRC 10 is the right choice only for newcomers and those who know the history of rally like the back of their hand.

Whatever may come in next year's WRC 11 Kylotonn leaves behind a strong legacy and has created what is probably the most underrated racing series currently in active development. That being said, WRC 10 really is an incremental upgrade and unless you absolutely must have it for one reason or another there's perhaps not enough here for owners of WRC 9.
WRC 10 upholds the excellence of the franchise for the virtual racing world. There aren't drastic changes to its visual or audio aspects, but this actually means the quality standard continues to be high. Besides that, the classic tracks and historic challenges bring forth positive elements, though small ones, and add many hours of challenge and fun to the game's lifespan.

WRC10 will undoubtedly delight fans of the series or even Rallys. Many tracks, many modes, many cars in a game with exquisite gameplay. If you're not a fan but looking for a new adventure, WRC10 won't let you down!

WRC 10 is a hardcore racer that'll require you to put in the time before reaping any of its rewards.
All in all, WRC 10 is yet another solid entry in the series. It’s sad to see that it’s probably going to be one of the last ever, but props to KT Racing and Nacon for going the extra mile to make that goodbye go off with a bang as they do with this game. The historical racing is a joy to behold for sure, and the trademark franchise modes found in WRC 10 make it an extremely worthwhile pickup for rally fans and casual racers alike.
WRC 10 is a decent rally experience, thanks to the solid driving model and improved vehicle feedback. The new tracks are good but team management has regressed and other changes are a mixed bag in what is a predictable yearly release.
That said, this title will challenge your patience and requires time and effort to learn the game from the inside out. Those who are willing to do just that will have an experience that is deep, authentic, and most of all, fun. There are no cheap ways to enjoy WRC 10, and you are either all in or you're not, but the rewards for those who jump in with both feet are, well, rewarding.
WRC 10 returns most of what made WRC 9 great and builds on it with anniversary content and more. The physics model still feels great while playing and there is a ton of content here to play through. Getting to relive the history of the sport through the Anniversary events and cars was also awesome. The DualSense support on the PlayStation 5 version is also once again fantastic and the platform I recommend you play this game on. Some areas of the visuals can still be improved on in future entries but despite those blemishes this is one of the finest rally racing games on the market.
WRC 10 is not a bad opus of the series, with its share of novelties rather welcome. Mode 50e birthday finally allows you to enjoy former glories of the discipline, and even if we would have liked it to be more fleshed out, it still makes an act of presence.

The franchise doesn't make the hoped-for leap in quality, it just takes a step in the right direction: this will hardly be enough to satisfy the most demanding drivers or those who already own WRC 9, but several off-road enthusiasts may still consider it more than enough to have fun.
