The long rallies can bring tension and fear in equal measure. Less edge-of-your-seat rallying, more like you got lost in the woods. What this resulted in for me is a much more tentative approach to pretty much anything when I was travelling at speed. But you definitely can’t rely on these when tiny, incremental tweaks need to be made. These are useful, and a great touch of realism, especially as they are voiced to a much higher standard than previous entries. These are a set of instructions as to the direction and angle of corners, as well as any notable jumps or blind hills. There are, of course, your co-driver’s pacenotes.

You can tweak the difficulty quite a lot, but the way the visuals change your driving style is a bit egregious. But on any long straight, it can be really difficult to see where the course goes, meaning there could be a slight right that isn’t as slight as you thought, sending you barrelling straight off the course and incurring a five-second penalty. Taking it slower around a twistier rally is fine, as you don’t need to react as quickly to incoming obstacles. If they are visible they’re blurry and hard to see, with the lack of good lighting and shadows making it very hard to tell how far away they are. trees, rocks) and shadows jump into view when you’re getting near to them. We’ll get into that more later on, but the primary issue for driving is the draw distance. Sadly, though, the gameplay suffers due to the visual concessions. It would have been nice to see some more options for lower levels of play. This game isn’t really trying to appeal to casual players on a gameplay level, but it’s hard to imagine any hardcore players wanting to pick it up on Nintendo Switch. I like this style of rallying - I think it’s dull when a driving game just thinks rallying means “do lots of drifts!” - but I do think more casual players will find it tough. The cars slip and glide believably, constantly feeling hard to tame. Thankfully, the racing is also top-notch, so you can get really entrenched in the career, trying to perfect your driving style. It’s not that excitingly presented - reminding me more of a Football Manager game than anything else - but it does add a bit of realism to this lengthy career. There’s also Research & Development, a huge tree of different things to make your car better than your competitors.

Similar to the F1 series of games, you have to manage your team to make sure they’re well-trained and well-suited to help you through. There are, however, some extra trimmings that make WRC 9 much more engaging.
