Gravel

Class. Works nicely on SteamDeck if you change the settings a bit - can get mostly high, but need to set a frame cap to 30fps, and select PROTON EXPERIMENTAL otherwise there will be crashes.

Honestly just a really solid little off-road racing game. It's kinda like if Milestone took rallycross and the cross country events from Forza Horizon and just made that into its own game and it kinda rules, despite its short length and lack of customisation. The tracks are the real highlight. The rallycross ones are great but it's the cross country ones in Alaska and Namibia that take the cake - they are genuinely thrilling especially on higher difficulties. The car roster is also really solid - there are a few gaps in some disciplines (the group B offerings are pretty thin) but also a lot of fun cars you don't see a lot in games like the Toyota Landcruiser and 222B and the KTM AX Concept. The career mode (complete with a dodgy narrator who says things like "the meeting is next week" and "don't be sad") is short but also probably as long as it needs to be considering there isn't much depth to the game - it's a pretty standard progression of races and championships and you have four or five liveries per car to unlock by leveling up. As of writing I've got 255/270 stars at around 12 hours in (that's including the DLC) and I feel that's a good length, but I'm having so much fun with the racing itself that it'll be a little sad when I finally run out of stuff to do. Gravel's regularly on sale for under five bucks but even at full price I'd say it's well worth it (probs not the Deluxe edition though, yeesh). If you want a simple arcade-ish racer that doesn't wear out its welcome, you can do so much worse.

Its a really simple racer but fun! I had a bug a few times when the race ended it said I got first place but when the results showed up it would change so I'd have to try the race all over for no reason...

Most people compare this game to DiRT 5 and they are pretty close, DiRT 5 is ♥♥♥♥ that was poured ton of money into and GRAVEL is ♥♥♥♥ with a much smaller budget. Don't play this, don't spend 2 euros at sale buying this and don't even consider the 20 euro price tag at full price. Driving is awful, tracks are just horrible and are something more fitting for a Mario Kart game than "Ultimate off-road experience" (said by Milestone). I love Milestone's Moto GP games and even WRC 4 and other racing games but this one is awful. There are many game modes but most of them are just bad and with the awful driving physics it makes the game even worse. The concept of GRAVEL TV or whatever they tried making is not liked by a single soul i know and i hope they never make something like that concept ever again. There is a lot of licensed cars, which i respect and think is pretty cool, but liveries and as i said driving makes them not even enjoyable.

Maybe it's because I came to this game after playing NFS, but just 15 mins in and I'm not impressed. Physics needs a lot of work.

无中文 12块买不了吃亏买不了上当 我很喜欢拉力赛车，但是拟真类的一直开不来 感谢Garvel圆了我的梦，手感很街机，放心大胆的开 不少人在评论中提及手感很像世嘉拉力，我没有玩过，很遗憾我错过了赛车游戏的黄金年代 碎碎念：说实话这游戏更像screamer的重启作（毕竟初代就是借鉴的世嘉拉力）不过也还好哈哈哈 唯一要吐槽的就是游戏内撞牌子的比赛，很讨厌

Gravel entrega uma experiência arcade bem resolvida e sem firulas. Visualmente, o jogo envelheceu acima da média, apresentando gráficos muito bons para a época de lançamento. A física é legal e o jogo opera em uma lógica muito parecida com as corridas de terra de Forza Horizon, mas com uma diferença crucial que quebra a monotonia: o design das pistas traz uma verticalidade agressiva, lotada de subidas e descidas que exigem leituras rápidas de traçado. É, no fim das contas, uma mecânica funcional e divertida para quem quer focar puramente na dinâmica da pilotagem off-road. Comprei o jogo completo.
