Critic Reviews for V-Rally 4
An unlikely revival that's spirited in its return to the genre's arcade roots, but that is uneven in its execution.
V-Rally 4 is an old-school rally game at heart, for better and worse (but mainly the latter). If you stick with it you'll eventually start to master and enjoy it, but the slippery handling and unforgiving ‘no mistakes allowed' rally races make getting to that point a real slog. On top of this, its numerous performance issues are so severe that they aren't just ugly, they're downright distracting: the result being that although this is now the best rally game on Switch by default, pretty much every aspect of it leaves acres of room for improvement.
With so many great rally games already available, V-Rally 4's poor handling and inconsistent AI just can't compete with its competition. It should have stayed as a fondly-remembered retro series.
The game has been able to offer us a good game experience, but it lacks some simple additions that will make it a much better experience than it used to be.

An unlikely sequel that ultimately struggles to find its place among today's line-up of more polished and more established alternatives.
Lacking the precision required to tantalize the more serious racing fan, but perhaps too much of a challenge for many, V-Rally 4 is packed to the brim with nice ideas and potential, but just as many annoyances. Sadly, in this competitive marketplace, it is stuck in a ditch. The strange layout of the career mode and iffy handling model do their very best to put a downer on things, but I really hope Kylotonn has the resources to build upon this effort and provide something that can take the fight to the very best racing games in the future.
An arcade racing game with some spectacular moments, whose roots are guiltily stuck in the past.

V-Rally 4 is a game worth experiencing and Kylotonn Games should be on every racing fan's radar after this release.
