![]() ![]() While Codemasters offered a great driving model, it was notoriously low on content and Kylotonn doesn’t make the same mistake with over twice that amount of rally races available at launch. Where WRC 8 also pleasantly surprises, especially after the release of Dirt Rally 2.0, is in the amount of content it offers. There’s a great learning curve here, and it makes the game a good stepping stone if you’re considering eventually moving to a more sim-like experience. WRC 8 is even welcoming to newcomers, allowing you to start in the junior leagues before venturing on and using fewer and fewer driving aids in the process. And for some, that is exactly what you want if you feel like Dirt Rally veers too much to the sim side of things. Some things haven’t changed though, and Kylotonn’s approach to rally racing is still more arcade-like and accessible than what you get with Codemasters’ rally titles. I was happy to see that the two year wait wasn’t in vain, as besides the usual refinements WRC 8 also features an excellent new weather system and major changes to the career mode that move the game beyond just the racing portion of it all. It wasn’t quite as good as their WRC games though, which made us curious about how WRC would return after a two year hiatus. They were acquired by Bigben last year, which also marked their release of the V-Rally reboot V-Rally 4. It’s been two years since the release of WRC 7, but a lot has happened for developer Kylotonn. We checked out the console version for this review. It’s out now for PS4, Xbox One and PC – with a Switch version coming a little later. Returning to the WRC franchise, Bigben has once again employed the services of Kylotonn Games for WRC 8. ![]()
