DIRT 5
–——————————————————–
WARNING: do not buy the Amplified Edition but go for the Standard game instead. To this day it’s unclear what the extra benefits of Amplified are gonna be. They already released a car DLC (Porsche Macan) that isn’t even part of the Amplified Edition and in a recent video interview with the dev director on the DIRT YT channel it’s stated that even the Standard game is gonna get extra free content. I still like the game but so far the extra money I paid for the Amplified Edition feels like a waste.

TL;DR
- Dirt 5 is really good with some caveats. If you’re looking for something in the vein of the previous DiRT games, you’ll likely be disappointed. But if you enjoy arcade offroad racers hearkening back to the PS2/Xbox era, you should definitely check this out at some point, most likely on sale.
Pros, Cons, and Meh(s):
PROS
-
Wide range of car disciplines, from rallycross spec cars to 80s rally to trucks to buggys. All of them feel fast, responsive and just fun to drive.
-
Graphics are really solid, night time lighting is especially nice.

Offroad Racing On Line
Drift, slide, skid! Offroad Racing Online is the isometric 3D perspective car racing game that makes racing funnier than ever.
As an experienced racer, you will have to manage driving your car on bumpers and jumps, narrow roads and even ice.
Avoid collisions and don’t let you get overtaken by the fast computer driven cars or, in the multiplayer online mode, by players from all over the world.
The game is built on the best vehicle physics engine available for real driving sensations and a very effective computer driven cars artificial intelligence system.

ROAD HOMEWARD
UPDATE (nov. 27. 2019): The dev made a completely new version. The game is still short, but the graphics are fantastic. You need to play it.
UPDATE (dec. 21. 2018) The dev. updated the game and it is much more playable now. Still many situations where the car can get stuck, but you learn this positions and can avoid it next time. I have to say, i had lots of fun now, playing the game, finding the right way. So i recommend it now for a buy. But keep in mind, it is still buggy and the english voice is hard to understand. But the gameplay is something fresh and nice. I hope the dev. will fix the remaining problems, but he is on the right way.

Update (December 31, 2018) - I would like to say that the developer is very responsive and passionate about making video games. I was able to make it past the troublesome spot. Reminds me of the Souls series, unforgiving but, rewarding once you master the area.
Normally, I would not write reviews on games but I feel this could be a great game if more constructive critism is offered. Please, please fix the issue of getting stuck. I cannot get past the first thirty seconds as I keep getting stuck.

Tony Stewart’s All-American Racing
I don’t know why these Tony Stewart games are better than the mainline HEAT series from Monster, but it is really quite special.
If you enjoy dirt circletrack racing, but don’t want to enter into competitive sim-racing like iRacing, these are the games for you. This game has updated physics, and a progessive dirt layer added to the cars. The two things, really, that the already great Sprint Car game was missing.
It would have been nice if Monster added the Sprint Car content to this title. It will also be nice to see additional classes like Late Models, Super Late Models, Pro Trucks, and maybe some more models in Street Stock.

It has been so long since Dirt Track Racing games were released. This game is a very nice upgrade from those versions. First impressions are very positive. Very simple, fun racing game. Game play is very similar to Dirt Track racing, with greatly improved graphics.
Pros: 3 classes of cars to chose from, custom paint schemes (limited), tuning (simple or advanced)
Cons: Limited custom paint schemes, no track conditions (wet/dry), zero advantage to running the cushion (high side) of track.

Tractor Cargo Driving Simulator
if i had to choose two words to describe this goddamn masterpiece, i would say
passionate and beuatifula
it has powerboxus that you have to send to the end of the level. very challenging gamep[lay to boot. Recommend .
– Real player with 34.1 hrs in game
Wow. That’s all i can say. This game is thrilling, you drive a nearly broken tractor with poor steering and brakes through steep narrow hill roads. But this is what makes this game great. It’s a challenge, and it’s so optimised that it could run on a PC from 2006. It is also dirt cheap. I recommended it to a friend.

Offroad Mania
I can’t remember how I came across this game, but I am glad I did.
The Gameplay is straight forward, you spawn on a platform that is suspended in air and have to reach the finish line without falling off. The game also offers collectible trophies as an additional challenge.
You can choose if you want to play “easy” mode or “hard” mode, the latter requires you to collect all 3 trophies per level before continuing. The 60 individual levels provide a increasing difficulty level, the only aspect I didn’t like about the choice of level design is the inversion of all levels starting from level 61. You are playing through the game again but with reversed levels.

Addicting indie game where you have to traverse various obstacles to drive across the finish line
Pros
→ plenty of levels to choose from (although half of the maps in classic mode are the same maps but in reverse)
→ decent vehicle selection
→ fun physics
→ well-balanced achievements
→ regular updates
→ different modes
→ low price
→ front and rear vehicle modification
→ great sounds
→ trading card drops
Neither
→ gameplay gets slightly tedious after a while
→ limited customization (only colors can be changed both on the truck and player)

Pure Rock Crawling
Let’s start with the countless hours of spin tires, mudrunner and beam NG i’ve played to get my rock crawling fix. IRL i own a 08' JK on one tons/40’s, but have to travel far to wheel. Having a game dedicated strictly to just the art of crawling is amazing because i may not get the full satisfaction i get from the real thing, but these sims are the closest thing. This game specifically will be much better than those counterparts because it’s strictly dedicated to crawling rather than a logging road or a crash dummy course. If crawling interest you, then i believe you should most certainly purchase this game and support the great work this dev have put into this games current state. Which it’s in great shape and hopefully continues with the same momentum with your support ;)

[EDIT: 11/1/21018 Originally I said that the physics made the cars feel as if light, miniature cars. I no longer feel that’s the case. Not sure which update is the cause, but it did a great job of crreating the feeling of full size, full weight vehicles. VERY NICE!
–—————————————————
Pure Rock Crawling is one of those games on Steam that calls out for a three-tier rating system. There’s plenty of good (and some not so good), so I decided to enjoy the best, and rate based on the game concept and hopes that come with all Early Access games. Thus, a positive rating, and every hope for a brighter, larger future.

Ultra Off-Road 2019: Alaska
Love the stunning visuals, they attracted me to the game in the 1st place. UOR played on ultra is really beautiful, almost yelling IT’S ALASKA, MAN! The feeling of freedom is also very nice - what the real off-road is all about. Let’s say my inner explorator feels FINE. :D
Next - the driving experience. There was a simulation/arcade debate here, also addressed by the devs. Imho it feels quite balanced right now, though I’m not a hardcore sim fan. My jeep could bounce more/jump higher - maybe some future arcade feature? ;)

This game still needs a lot of work, and they still need to update some of their game description to match with what is currently available, to what is planned for the future as they don’t seem to tally up or match. And I dont consider this game a simulator, but rather a simcade which it matches perfectly and is honestly the type of game that I enjoy sinking a few hours into. Also, I dont have a problem with floating objects like pizza, fuel and as such, but it may be nice to have an option to enable or disable them, but seriously its not an issue for me at the current state.
