Critic Reviews for WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship
WRC 9's incredible stages make it easy to recommend to series first-timers, although it's not a huge leap from WRC 8.
At last, Kylotonn has delivered on the promise of authentic driving experience, and for a rallying game, I think that is the single most important element.
Building on the foundation of last year's game, WRC 9 fleshes out the experience with new features and content.
WRC 9 is far from the best games of the genre, but keeps his multiples options and modes to be enjoyed by all kind of players.

For all its familiarity and how little the experience has changed - at least in a way that feels beneficial, most of all - Kylotonn still manage to make WRC 9 shine where it matters.
WRC 9 on PS5 adds a new layer to the gameplay thanks to the haptic feedback, with improved visuals that're noticeable from the start.
Although it feels a slight step backwards from last year, WRC 9 is still an impressive rally game that fans will love.
The improved frame rate makes WRC 9 a better experience than WRC 8, but it still suffers from a number of issues through no fault of the developer, such as a lack of analogue triggers and a reduced rally count. However, the extremely distracting nature of the scenery, which is constantly drawing itself in right in front of you, makes it difficult to get properly immersed in the action. It's probably the best rally game on the Switch so far, but for fans of the sport, the wait continues for something truly brilliant on the system.
