A methodical repair sim: diagnose a fault, strip the car to the part that causes it, rebuild, then test-drive it — with barn-find and junkyard modes for hunting classics to restore. The detail is real enough that actual mechanics recognise it. The tutorial is the near-universal complaint: it explains almost nothing, and the opening hours are spent unscrewing wheel bolts to work out the loop yourself.

A GT3-only simulator rather than a broad racing game: tyre temperatures, evolving track conditions and force feedback that real drivers single out as the most communicative available. The narrowness is the trade — the base roster is small enough that most players end up buying DLC, and the public lobbies are policed by a safety rating that punishes you for being crashed into.

An open-world racer covering a compressed United States, where you switch between car, boat and plane mid-race at the press of a button. The scale and the freedom to just drive across the country are the draw. Account and launcher problems dominate the negative reviews — even the belatedly added offline mode still requires the publisher's client and anti-cheat to be running.

Motorsport by its very nature is dangerous. DiRT 4 is all about embracing that danger. It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. And more than that, it’s about loving that feeling. It’s about pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop.
