Luckily for KT Racing, I happen to be in a transitory period with my gaming where I actually like the reward of repeating a task until I get it right. It makes recovering the vehicle, whether in motion or crashed out at a stop, difficult and perilous. Understeer at high speeds and oversteer at low is more way more pronounced than in other driving games, for example. While you can play WRC 8 on a gamepad (it’s available for PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One and Windows PC) and have a good time with it, I feel like a full blown driving wheel rig is necessary to get the precision this game demands. But I can count on two hands the number of times I’ve been in fourth gear, dry pavement or not. Counter-steering, such that I can sustain it, is the finest of lines between an intentional drift and a prolonged spin-out, making a lot of tight corner exits seem like luck more than skill.Īfter about six hours of driving, though, I felt like I had at least a clear idea of what could keep the car on the trail, which, thanks to the third-person camera position, always looks to be rail thin until you’re right over it. I have so much car revving underneath me, it’s like only half of the right trigger accelerator is available for use. Sure, I gnash my teeth when the slightest thumbstick correction sends me into an irrevocable fishtail. It also has an outstanding career mode that makes me want to keep trying. Let’s get this on the record first: WRC 8 is a very challenging racer, even with big-time driving assists like full traction control, in races against the easiest AI setting.
