Gravel Reviews
All in all, Gravel is a mediocre racing game; one that cannot challenge any of the top quality racing titles currently available on the market. The game has many qualities that the other recent release from Milestone enjoyed, but unlike the motorcycle racing genre, car racing genre is too crowded.

Gravel is aptly named: rough, mildly broken, and dull.
Gravel's arcade sensibilities conjure occasional moments of flat out fun, but unimaginative track design and a lack of depth means most races are just dull.
Gravel is a game displaced. It's a competent and occasionally pretty pick-up-and-play arcade racing game at its core, but it has the whiff of a game released in the wrong era – a scent it just can't shake. A 2018 rendition of '90s ambition. Gravel certainly channels the spirit and straightforward simplicity of Milestone's own 1997 arcade off-roader Screamer Rally but it has no unique hook for today's audience; no over-the-top arcade pizazz that folks will still be discussing 10 or 15 years down the track. It's functional and fun enough in small bursts, but arcade racers have come a long way over the past two decades and Gravel doesn't bring any new ideas to the paddock.
Gravel is an above average arcade game that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Milestone should probably slow down the pace and focus on quality, not quantity

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 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 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.
it will be difficult to convince you that the game suits you now with better games that offer more, not to mention the diversity of cars and tracks, we cannot say that we will leave these games to play Gravel it is an experience passed quickly will not remembered.

Gravel offers relaxing off-road experience with arcade feeling. Milestone created enought content, but tracks are mostly boring.

If you're looking for a game with fun arcade off-roading, Gravel is a decent choice but its lack of gameplay variety, average visuals, and steep price hold it back.
Gravel is entertains for the most part but outside the career mode the game lacks longevity. Coupled with some odd omissions such as leaderboards it's a competent racer and not much else.
Gravel offers fun racing with a variety of cars and environments.
Gravel is a game worth playing for despite its technical shortcomings. Although the result is generally good and promising, it is still affected by a very rough graphic background and an excessively simple game development.

Gravel is a game that holds up, but which, like the races it offers, skids and slips often offroad. It will therefore satisfy the ones that likes this kind of games for fifteen hours to complete the Off Road Masters mode and probably a half dozen for completers who want all the stars and liveries. Its launchprice price under the bar of 50 € can help to make a decision and remains finally very coherent with the proposed offer.

Gravel is fun enough as an arcade off-road racer, but it feels like it was designed to compete with the hits of five or six years ago, not the racers of today. While there's something likeable about its no-nonsense, rough-and-tumble action, it lacks the poise, power and polish of a mud-flinging, tyre-spinning champ.
It is certainly not difficult to find faults in Gravel, but most of them are easy to forgive. It's a great feeling to put the pedal to the metal and just enjoy some great arcade racing. Rarely has a racing game been this fun and varied, although It could – and maybe should – have been better in a lot of ways.

Milestone has created something that's been missing in the genre, and though imperfect, it's a good start to what may be a new recurring franchise.
New arcade racers have been few and far between over the last half decade, and Gravel is just one attempt to reignite the genre. There's some good racing to be found here, with plenty of licensed cars to take through some lovely scenery, but it doesn't get your heart pounding with excitement. Gravel might be a fairly decent racer, but its biggest sin is that, despite the fireworks and exotic locations, it's just a bit boring.
