God is a Geek: 9.5 / 10 by Chris White
The improvements to the handling, performance, visuals, and sound make DIRT 5 on PS5 the ultimate version of the game. If you're still on the fence about getting it, you're missing out.
DualShockers: 8 / 10 by Mehrdad Khayyat
Fasten your seat belt for a festival of drifts in mud, ice, water, and every other rough surface that you can imagine in Dirt 5.
VG247: 4 / 5 by Tom Orry
I’m a big fan of Dirt 5. It’s not going to garner the praise of a Gran Turismo or a Forza, but it’s exactly the kind of game I was after. It’s fun, easy to get into, full of variety, looks pretty, and features cars that slide beautifully around corners. Dirt 5 is a feel-good game at feel-bad time, which is about the best time for it to exist.

DiRT 5 Description
DiRT 5 is another part of the well-known racing cycle dedicated to rallying. The game develops concepts and ideas introduced in previous versions and offers players an experience in which each race is slightly different from the previous one. The game was developed by masters of the genre - developers from the extremely experienced Codemasters Software studio, responsible, among others, for the other parts of the series.
Mechanics
In DiRT 5 we race off-road cars known from the real world, driving in real locations. The fun is made more pleasant by changing, often extreme weather conditions. In this game, the driving model has been designed in such a way that it does not focus solely on realism - it rewards the player's great agility and courage.
Game modes
In DiRT 5 you will find a whole range of modes designed for both single player and multiplayer mode. The game offers a new, extensive role-playing campaign, in which the gameplay is shaped by the player's choices. We also have a multiplayer mode for 12 people, in which we perform various additional tasks in addition to racing. You can also play with your friends locally (on a split screen), use the editor and photo mode.
Technical aspects
DiRT 5 offers an advanced, three-dimensional graphic design that presents a very high level of quality. Both routes and models of individual vehicles are characterized by great detail. Also noteworthy is the engine responsible for the lighting and the impressive weather effects. The soundtrack is also worth mentioning - in the feature campaign you can hear several well-known voice actors, such as Troy Baker or Nolan North.

DiRT / WRC Series
Series DiRT is the direct successor to the series Colin McRae Rally, launched in 1998 by Codemasters. When in 2004 the series' patron Colin McRae abandoned WRC racing in favor of the Dakar Rally and the X-Games series, the developers decided to change the direction of its development, enriching the game with off-road rallies and increasing the range of available vehicles to include off-road cars, trucks and rovers. The new game also received a significant name DiRT.
