This is not your standard racing game, this is well refined Rally simulation and it takes massive amounts of practice to jump up the leaderboards. It is a difficult game, it pulls no punches and it might drive you a little crazy. I can’t help but floor it whenever my co-driver tells me to be brave, which never ends well. It’s pretty funny at times when he tells you to “be brave”, which is something you really need to be to put serious time into DiRT Rally. They will inform you about dips, jumps, hairpin turns, flat tyres and much more. Your co-driver will be dishing out instructions to you constantly, so you really need to have serious focus when driving. It makes me really want to invest in a wheel, but I have yet to find one with a price-point that’s really affordable for so few games to use it in. Jokes aside, it’s a fantastic experience to play and I’ve done all my testing using the Steam Controller and it’s been one hell of a ride. The performance is obviously great, but wow, I thought I was bad at driving in GRID Autosport.
It's a very difficult style to get correct and DiRT Rally nails it in practically every way.įor a game I’ve seriously wanted to play, I’m a little sad I’ve had so much trouble with it. There's a lot of good racing games out there, but there's not a lot of truly great rally games. A very polished and welcome title to have on Linux for sure! The game has not crashed, I have seen zero graphical glitches and I'm quite amazed by the quality of the port as a whole. I haven't had any major issues with it at all. The rest of the game has been a pleasure. This is not an issue in Big Picture Mode. A bit of an annoyance, but hopefully something you won’t see too often. If you’re not in Big Picture Mode and your Steam Controller disconnects or turns off, you will have to restart the game to get it to work again. The point here is: Does it work well and is it fun? A resounding yes to both in this case.

As always, it likely doesn’t perform to Windows levels, but since I don’t use Windows I don’t compare them. On Ultra settings with everything possible turned up it’s been smooth as silk. Performance wise, it’s a solid experience. We see different results, likely down to our very different hardware. The odd one is High with 4xMSAA performing better than Medium, that is not an error as I actually redid those tests a number of times to be sure.įor additional benchmarks, Phoronix ran a bunch on NVIDIA here. As you can see MSAA has a massive performance drop, but the game looks really great with 4-8x MSAA which seems to be the sweet spot for performance for me.
