![]() ![]() A few regulations about it but Hybrid engines are in and can be used to influence car performance. Hybrid engines | A highly debated thing in real life is introduced to this game too.Oh, and all of that without a cheating option to rewind time! ![]() The gameplay is fundamentally different as rally works completely differently compared to road racing in Forza or Need for Speed, so I’m sure you race enthusiasts love the change. Tracks are between 5 and 10 kilometers long and you have around five gateways that allow you to see how your time compares against the other drivers. For this reason alone I recommend playing with a headset as setting good times requires trusting and understanding your co-driver. There’s no mini-map whatsoever and you carefully have to listen to the co-driver for what is coming from corners or how fast you can take them. You don’t have any other cars on the track as everyone starts individually, a major difference with rally games is the co-driver. Start perfect and you can already win a second against your competition. You start on track with a countdown, start too soon and you are punished with penalty seconds. Let me first explain how this works in-game for those that never played a WRC game before. Yeah sure, you could make things a little less exciting by choosing the easy difficulty so you always win with 20 or more seconds but the real joy from rally games comes from battling for that fastest time in normal or hard difficulty. I’m not even talking about finishing first here. The speed and complexity of the tracks and simply surviving with your car is one huge adrenaline candy that never ends. Rally gameplay is just something else entirely | I love playing rally games so much! You just don’t have that tension and fear of making mistakes in any other racing genre.Add 85 cars into that mix and you have a game with an insane amount of content! WRC Generations never fails to bring new challenges to the player, something that makes it so great and fun to play. Snow, desert, forests, lots of hairpin bends in mountains, asphalt with ice, extreme heat, and lots of different weather types. ![]() Various terrain types are an important thing with rallies and with all the different geological locations that’s exactly what you get. I do have to mention that most tracks are repeats from previous years but with the improved lighting and visuals that’s totally fine. I’m really surprised by the additional locations that aren’t on the 2022 calendar. And yes, we’re even going to my home country, Ypres Rally Belgium. From Wales to Portugal, New Zealand to Kenya. That’s over 20 rally locations! | We’re going all around the world with WRC Generations. All 13 event locations from the official championship, plus 8 extra.ℹ️ Reviewed on Xbox Series X | Review code provided by PR/publisher, this review is the personal opinion of the writer. Let this be a start for new podium finishes with other projects, which I’m definitely looking forward to playing with in the future! Thanks for the past seven years, I hope the WRC community will continue to keep an eye on KT Racing. You brought people together at events and created games that people loved to play alone or compete against friends and strangers. I want to take this short time in my review to thank each and every developer who worked on the World Rally Championship license. And the years flew past with adrenaline and proud moments for reaching the finish line. I’m sure the past years for everyone at KT Racing were the same as a rally stage. Which they explored in the past with V-Rally 4. With the upcoming TEST DRIVE UNLIMITED SOLAR CROWN and hopefully they will continue with non-licensed rally games too. ![]() I’m sure that the developer still has a bright future in the racing genre. I can’t shake the feeling of sadness for KT Racing though, the past years they have always done an excellent job with improving the WRC rally games. DiRT Rally and DiRT Rally 2.0 from Codemasters have been great games so I am looking forward to seeing what they will do with the license. WRC Generations will be the last official rally game from KT Racing as EA and Codemasters bought the official World Rally Championship license for 2023 to 2027. To this day rally games are still my favorite racing experience. Rally games have been an important part of my younger gaming years, it was one of the first things I enjoyed playing when friends or family visited me.
