DiRT Rally 2.0 doesn't suffer fools lightly, and rightly so. Within minutes of starting DiRT Rally 2.0's career mode, players will be hurling a Lancia down a tight narrow path in the middle of the night, with nothing but headlights and the soothing voice of a co-driver for company. Blind turns, slippery pathways, and brutal drops mark the way, so why should it be a cakewalk?

Codemasters gained some well-deserved notoriety when it came to DiRT Rally. The 2015 release was a hard-as-nails recreation of rally driving, forgoing the more relaxed arcade style that had often come with the territory for the niche motorsport. DiRT Rally 2.0 follows suit, taking on all comers and offering up a seriously tough learning curve.
