Gravel Reviews
If you are a huge racing game fan that is interested in what the game is trying to do, it may be worth checking out, as it's not a poorly-made game. Otherwise, I'd wait for a price drop before adding this to your collection. Gravel does have a lot of room to expand for a sequel, so I do hope Milestone gives this type of racing game another stab with more memorable results.
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's solid gameplay and strong career mode does enough to keep things mildly enjoyable.
Gravel focused on presenting off-road racing game and Milestone studio has succeeded already in producing a fun and entertaining racing game, but it has a very bad and bland graphics. The game does not have many cars and tracks, which may make you prefer other games too.

All in all, Gravel, despite its best efforts, isn’t a bad game. It’s rough, annoying, hard on the eyes, and unpolished. But it is still fun to play and for a quick and dirty arcade session, there is a lot worse out there.
This is a flawed racing game that can still be fun if you can overlook some of its flaws. It suffers from a lack of polish and underwhelming visuals but the driving mechanics are simple to grasp making it easier to recommend for a newcomer to racing games.
The fun you can have with Gravel outweighs its shortcomings.
Gravel is a solid title, with an old school gameplay, but few game modes. There's a good variety of cars and locations, with a strong connection to the past and the present of the offroad story. There are some technical problems.

Gravel offers arcade racing fun at a high level, but can not quite compete with competitors like Dirt 4 or Forza Horizon 3.

Gravel is a nice change of pace from the simulation-heavy racing games available elsewhere in the industry. While decidedly light on content outside of the main campaign and devoid of any real multiplayer options to speak of, the most important part of any racing game, the driving, is consistently fun. Soaring through the skies in multi-ton behemoths or nimble boxer engine Porsches is always a good time, and for capturing that, Milestone deserves praise. But a half-hearted career mode should've stuck with a traditional setup, as opposed to the phoned-in fake television series that we ended up playing. Still, for those aching to race on open courses or jump around in dirt tracks around the world, Gravel is right up your alley, and for slightly less than some of the competition ($49.99 USD) to boot.
Gravel is a fun game that I siphoned a lot of enjoyment out of during its brief stint. I wish online was more populated and I wish the single player was a bit more meaty, especially at full asking price. Still when it hits a deep sale Gravel is worth a look for those that enjoy the off-road arcade racing we used to be flooded with on consoles.
Milestone's latest is a fun romp through a variety of off-road locations, offering both quantity and variety in terms of tracks, cards, and modes. It's not the most ambitious racer ever, but the non-serious style of the flagship Off-Road Masters mode will be very appealing to those wanting an enjoyable arcade experience.
If you like fun racing games, especially ones that never try to be too serious, Gravel will scratch your itch. The driving part of it is consistently enjoyable.
Gravel is a great racing experience for veterans and newcomers alike, with so many tracks and cars to unlock this game will keep you busy for a while. However being unable to find an online match has me worried that the replay value of this game isn't very good after you've played through the meat of the single-player game.
With its simple gameplay, Gravel can win the hearts of all fans of arcade driving. However, its proposal is exhausted after a few hours when the main game mode "Off-Road Masters" ends due to the lack of enough unlocks to keep the game alive.

Milestone's Gravel rocks! A solid arcade driving game which features mainly off-road races with a convincing sense of speed and a good variety of competitions, vehicles and tracks. Too bad for the thin longevity of its campaign and the complete lack of alternative single-player modes, which greatly reduce Gravel's specific weight.

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!

Gravel is a great racing game that's packed with to the brim with things to do.
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.
Milestone's work with this new automotive arcade is definitely above expectations.
