The value story

June 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $14.99. It has been discounted 9 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, DiRT Rally 2.0 ($19.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Assetto Corsa EVO ($31.99, scores 3).

The press liked it more than its buyers did, 80 against 61 percent.

15 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2025 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 779 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 21 percent of the 1,099 reviews written there were positive, against 61 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (free-to-grind); the score docks it lightly for that.

14.9 hours to finish it, 34 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.3 times the campaign.

What players say

Not only is this game abandoned, but more importantly with the last update made years ago they broke the Linux support. Now I'm not able to play it anymore. They put a broken anticheat on a game that is about a discipline that consists in racing alone in locations and that has no intention to be some kind of eSports betting honeypot. Let that sink in. Thanks EA. Great takeover of a franchise and of Codemasters, and...

Trash support for this game from a trash company. Black boxes all over the screen when playing with no fix on AMD and now the game wont even start as files are apparently missing. Verify again and again with nothing working, Waste of money.
Shockwave FoxNot recommendedafter 6.3hSep 2026Read on Steam
Good starting point for potential sim rally racers. Much more fun than circuit racing. You learn the basic physics of car behaviour and the effect of your control inputs including the variations of car setup and weather conditions. It's actually educational and gives you a good workout. Good for honing reaction timing which with responsibility can potentially make you a safer driver.
