Well, that's not quite true, as the new direction that WRC 8 pursues can't help but bring to mind Codemasters' own recent successes. In fact, having personally only kept a watching brief on Kylotonn's tenure on the series since it signed up with WRC 5, it feels like a different series entirely. It's a significant year for the series, having taken a year away and returning from its break revitalised and refreshed. With Codemasters hitting a purple patch with Dirt Rally and its sequel - for my money some of the very best takes on the sport I've had the pleasure of playing - it's a good time to pound some badly-maintained roads, and Kylotonn's joining the party with WRC 8.
Availability: Out now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.It's an improbable sport - I still can't quite believe people are allowed to thread weaponised hatchbacks around narrow country roads at such speed - that makes for almost impossibly challenging games, and I love both all the more for it. Nothing else asks so much of its players, busying them with a relentless succession of turns and ever-changing terrain. With a beautiful handling model, much-improved visuals and a savvy use of the official licence, WRC 8 is a triumph.įorget 0-60 - if you want to go from sitting idly on your sofa to a state of pure focus as fast as a turbo-charged Toyota Yaris WRC goes from a standstill to breaking the national speed limit, then there's really no better fix than your common garden rally game.
