Unfortunately, unless you pre-ordered the game or are willing to fork out for them, the Subaru Impreza WRC and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V aren’t on the roster. You’ll run through notable moments from the infamous Group B category, Group A, and into the 2000s, driving some of the motorsport’s most recognisable vehicles: Lancia Stratos, Audi quattro Sport, Lancia Delta Integrale, Toyota Celica - the list goes on. It includes a number of milestone events, starting with 1973’s Acropolis Rally and Alpine’s first ever win in the A110 Berlinette. Yes, the headline addition in this year’s game is a celebration of the motorsport’s five-decade history. Going from Junior WRC’s entry level, front-wheel drive cars to the four-wheel drive vehicles of WRC3 and beyond is a noticeable jump - each class feels different, especially when you consider the classic cars found in the title’s 50th Anniversary mode. What’s nice is that you really do feel a difference between categories. Ultimately, throwing these cars around feels great, especially with the DualSense’s fancy triggers and haptics, once again put to great use here. It sits in the “sim-cade” camp - aiming for realism, but with a little bit of leeway. We played with default settings and found the handling to be highly entertaining. With lots of customisation options allowing you to tweak the difficulty, it’s a game that scales with you. The simulation isn’t quite as demanding as DiRT Rally 2.0, but that’s not to say this isn’t a challenging rally title. The driving itself is of course the most important part of any racing game, and it’s here where the game shines. After last year’s WRC 9 made significant improvements to the officially licensed rally racer, WRC 10 iterates on the winning formula, presenting another fantastic experience - even if it is a little rough around the edges. Developer KT Racing has found its footing with the WRC series.
