WRC 10 Review

Multiplayer:

If the vast offering of single-player modes falls short, WRC 10 also offers a wide selection of multiplayer modes , both local and online. We will be able to play in split screen mode , where we will compete with a friend locally and we will be able to freely choose the rally, the stage, the cars and the weather conditions.

On the online side, we can search for quick games online or create our personalized meeting points and compete with players from all over the world . We also have Copilot Mode, in which we will go through a rally stage in the role of pilot or copilot with an online player. In this mode we can choose our role, the language in which we will communicate with our partner, as well as the stage and category of the race, making it one of the funniest modes of the title .

We can also create our own club and invite our friends and consult the online leaderboards at any time. But the thing is not there, since we also have online events in which we will face daily and weekly challenges against other players and earn points to be at the top of the leaderboard.

Rally Simulation:

When it comes to getting behind the wheel of WRC 10 , we will realize that we are facing a rally simulation game , where it will be a challenge in its intermediate difficulty. The game allows us to choose between beginner, intermediate and expert difficulty, the first being roughly closest to arcade driving and the last one more similar to driving a real World Rally Car .

From the first moment we step on the accelerator, we become aware of the traction existing between the tire and the ground, feeling the changes between different surfaces on each track and that is that firm driving on asphalt can be affected at any time by a Shift to slippery gravel, over a pothole, or even through rain or snow.

Since the simulation of the irregularities of the terrain, the atmospheric conditions and their implication in the driving or in the damages of the vehicle is extremely successful. Making this a challenge for both novices and experts and I tell you in good faith, that more than once my car has tumbled down an embankment in Portugal because of the gravel and the speed.

And it is that, after a spectacular accident we will be able to see and feel the impressive system of damage and wear that our vehicle has, since the wear of our wheels by aggressive driving will make us lose control or a tree that is not where it should be. a headlamp breaking and the damping of a wheel breaking, leaving us almost blind in the middle of the night. WRC 10 brings us one of the most challenging damage systems I’ve been able to play with.

But fear not, because the game has a wide variety of driving aids and difficulty settings for the AI, allowing us to compete against more or less tight times, with various traction aids and car braking, as well as the possibility to control the level of damage of the vehicle in the race. This allows the game to be adapted to each of the player’s needs and thus provide a satisfactory experience and playability.

Presentation:

Visually WRC 10 perfectly fulfills its objective , showing us natural environments full of life, full of fans and drones that accompany the vehicles throughout each stage, which pass through rural environments, towns or circuits.

The vehicles have a magnificent modeling and a very complete damage system that will allow us to instantly visualize each of the damages suffered in our car. All this level of detail can be enjoyed during the races and also in the Showroom, where we can appreciate each of the cars with a high level of detail.

The game is optimized for Xbox Series X | S , allowing us to enjoy it at 60 images per second in balanced mode , 4K Ultra HD in high visual quality mode and with a performance mode at 120 images per second . All this with virtually non-existent loading times.

As far as sound is concerned, WRC 10 fully transports us to the roar of the engines , the amazement of the spectators and the tranquility of the field, which is altered by the deafening noise of the engines, as KT Racing has put a lot of care in Capture the sonic essence of these cars. But not everything stops there, since the ambient noise, the gravel sliding, the skidding of the wheels on the asphalt and the collisions make us feel that we are inside the competition .

 

Conclusion:

WRC 10 is a new iteration of the saga that is loaded with content, both for one and for several players and that reinforces the presence of Rally games with good controls, an audiovisual aspect to match. We are you’ll love the new WRC with all its extra content.
