Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are absolutely wonderful for a 2019 game and co-driver is not perfect, but at least he feels alive.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
WRC 9 and WRC 10 are the only rally games I can recommend besides Dirt Rally 2.0 (I play on PS5 controller).
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay in these games is the most important, and this one is ROUGH, but at least I had pleasant time visually, there is a lot of decorations on the scenery, and different countries have appropriate visuals tied to them, sometimes I wished the game would let me drive off track, instead of respawning me with penalty, just to look around.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
And lastly, story is non existent, for the better, when it comes to racing games.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
- Adding more fun to a racing game is a must, and I'm very glad that WRC includes a split-screen mode too!
