Gravel Reviews
We have fun in each session and it makes us want to keep playing but the joking physics at times, his lack of technical ambition, his crazy AI or his repetitive mechanics to advance in career mode muddle the experience.

Gravel is a fun arcade racer – something I've not seen many of in the last few years. It looks and plays great on the Ps4 Pro and offers a tonne of content that will keep you going for a long time. There are plenty of licenced cars which you can use to race through some well-designed areas either against the CPU, other players or solo via Time-Attack; however, the setup of the game (the TV show) feels a little 'basic'. It's great if you love the old-school 'pick a race and go' style, but if you are looking for more depth in the campaign then you may be disappointed.
In general, therefore, we want to say that the work done by Milestone for Gravel is definitely good; although there is some note to do, in fact, we are ahead of a nice and fun title. We like the style, the races and even the tracks. Definitely improved, but certainly very enjoyable by most. In short, an interesting game that deserves to be played!

So to finish this all up, I’m going to say one final time that this is possibly my favourite game of 2018 so far. It holds high esteem in my book. It may have a few problems but I highly recommend playing this game.
Gravel's vehicle selection is small but well-chosen, the tracks are interesting to drive the rally classics around and online multiplayer is simple to use and well implemented
Gravel takes a fun experience and makes it feel dull with lacklustre AI and a vehicle unlock system that removes any joy from getting a new car.
GRAVEL does just enough to keep you interested enough to keep working through each of the episodes and trying to dethrone each of the champions of their respective disciplines. It just doesn’t do anything we haven’t seen before, even with the conceit of a TV show being the driving force. Milestone has the foundation of something great with GRAVEL. It is a solid first entry that needs some more attention to its delivery of the campaign structure to make it more fully realized as a TV show for future installments.
Gravel is a great racing game that's packed with to the brim with things to do.
Gravel does precisely one thing well and that’s be a competent, fun racer that’s worth checking out if you’re looking to just find exactly that with very little else sprinkled on top.
When all is said and done, all that has to be said about Gravel, is that it is likely going to be one of your favourite titles of this generation, if only you are willing to give it a fighting chance and won’t judge it by the studio’s prior efforts.
