Buy, wait for a sale, rent, or never touch it. The Patented Karak review system to see if a game is worth a buy upon release or if I recommend waiting. - เกม

I guess Karak calling the other drivers/riders "enemies" says something about the AI targeting the player.
😂😂
Dakar 2 is still better gameplay wise, at least compared to last Dakar game
I would love to see a "classic Paris-Dakar" game one day, where you start in Paris and race all the way to Dakar.
Exactly and this game is probably the best platform for it. they do have some DLC planned down the road including a map apparently. Here's hoping I get to take that 405 T16 to Jacky Ickx G-wagon somewhere in Africa.
Someone write the DEVS and drop the idea... They just might do it... Add some European maps too... THAT WOULD BE THE SHIZZZZNIT!
There's definitely a bit of Motorstorm vibes here, especially at multi-class races and the ability to wreck bikes and small cars with the trucks!
This is EXACTLY what I've been thinking every time I look at stuff about this game, its a huge reason why I wanna get it. I need a game that gives me Motorstorm vibes and this is it, half of my time watching this video I had Motorstorm soundtracks going off in my head.
I miss that series. There's no better time than for Sony to revive that with modern hardware that's available right now.
Ontly thing new is sand, desert
The only problem is you're not actually racing against other classes, they're just there to pass. But that's Dakar i guess lol
Yeah. Motorstorm mixed with Midnight Club.
This looks great and looks like great fun. Thanks, Karak.
This is a review I hoped you would do as I value your opinions on racing games & shooters, thanks man!
This checkpoint markers give me distinct PS2 vibes.
Seeing the price double during the pre-order window put this out of my shortlist to check for this month, PC reviews are listing few issues at the moment. This is totally my jam though so will keep an eye out on updates to the PC version.
As always thanks for the great reviews!
9:30 I did hit a Helicopter in NFS: Most Wanted 2005 on purpose. But it was rather disappointing. It had a presumably cube hitbox just repelling the car without damage.
In an earlier video they talked about arcade mode not being an easy mode but a new game mode for those that like arcade racers. Which is why you start in a pack and have waypoints etc.
Thank you for reviewing this!!! This is definitely a game no one is talking about and as a big fan of racing games, I appreciate the coverage:) It looks better (graphically and gameplay wise) than the original and I'm happy to see it even got a sequel. Will definitely be picking this up
I was not aware of this game. Looks amazing. I love that flexibility in navigating the track and choosing a vehicle.
I played this on gamecube growing up, I remember it having a cool atmosphere to it. Good to see it back
I have pre-ordered this couple of weeks ago and I am glad that your review is positive..
The AI reviews are great and hilarious but your real reviews honestly can’t be beat. They are to me the most thorough and overall most excellent reviews on TH-cam. When I really wanna know about a game I come to ACG and I recommend others consider doing the same! This game does look kinda fun. May check it out
Wait some time if you are going to pc, reviews on steam tell the game is broken, the bugs are overwhelming.
Truth
@@Alfonso88279 I play mostly on PS5 and series X. I also have a Switch and just got a steam deck. No PC proper though. The deck is as close as I am to pc gaming
I concure with @killernp
@Jullia kosic Karak has released a couple of reviews where an AI created the script, then Karak reads that out. Just yesterday there was one for Spider-Man and it's hilarious. Check it out if you want a good laugh.
I remember playing the original as a kid in the early 2000’s. It was amazing and brutal for an arcade rally game. I haven’t touched the franchise until a couple of years back with Dakar 18, but I only played it for a few hours and missed how it originally functioned. No doubt, this version is definitely on my radar and I will give it a try in the near future, thanks ACG!
This looks awesome. Been waiting to play another Dakar game again since Dakar 2
I've been very tempted to pick up a physical of this.
Cool! Looks like it could be kind of a fast snowrunner vibe, at least for plotting course and such. I could see it being a zen like game dispute speed. Thanks
Good to see you reviewing a rally game again. You've let too many go by without a review.
I'm so glad you chose to review this title!
These ARE the best videogame reviews on review, the mix of detailed information and funny jokes added in the middle of the review makes 15m feel like 15s. Thank you so much for another incredible review!
Thanks for the review. Is there any chance you could drop a line or two on whether there are any differences in appearance between the console generations apart from higher fps? If you have multiple platforms to choose from sometimes its a meaningful difference.
Bought it a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it.
Also I swore I was subscribed to you, well I am now
3:11 that's kinda hilarious because in the early to mid 80's some Paris-Dakar stages would actually do mass starts, mainly in the expansive wide open dune stages where space is less of a concern.
Still, they stopped doing that because.....yeah it was a dangerous clusterfuck.
The crowd in Bloodsport was actually chanting “koomatay”.
Wow. What a nice review. I guess I'm gonna buy now. I do high speed off road as a sport in real life and I've been waiting for a good off roading game and this might just do it as long as they stay committed to their roadmap. I've heard a few gripes about the physics and it not FEELING like real vehicles do in sand, but I'm hoping they'll fix that. I really enjoyed Sabre's Mud and Snowrunner games so I imagine I'll enjoy this one too. The support they gave Snowrunner after it was released gives me confidence that this will shape into an amazing off road (in the house) experience.
down right the best of the best in the game ACG, you genuinely are top of the range when it comes to your content. Keep going, never stop.
I have been looking for something different to play now that I am getting a little tired of Cursed Golf. I am going to check this out!
Great review. I"m getting it.
Great review thank you! Though I am missing stuff like getting stuck in the sand or mud in the game. It still feels too arcady for what I would have liked this game to do
05:15 - Some of the crashes here remind me of the original Motorstorm on the PS3.
Thanks for the great review, man. Your content is the best and I had my eye on this game so thanks for lookin at it.
thank you for the great review - one question, can yo ustill exit the vehicle like in dakar 18?
Imagine they did this this kinda of racing but more arcady like motor storm :O
Truly the Dark Souls of racing games.
I had this game on my radar and I'm glad it turned out pretty good.
Glad someone I trust reviewed this, because it's pretty much getting ripped by everyone else, so I didn't know what to think.
I loved dakar 18 so I'll definitely be getting this
Great review! I never knew much about Dakar but always have been intrigued. Gotta check this out
When you talk about audio could you maybe give us examples we can hear. The only audio we got was 10 seconds at the end, which sounded very nice.
I thought that was kind of odd, he usually does. I'm wondering if maybe the game has licensed audio that he wasn't able to get to play nice with YT.
@@SpeedyGoneFroglegs True, but you could just disable the music.
Looks fun, little worried about the physics tho
Thanks for the review, a really good one. I ddin't even know about this game but now will likely give it a go.
This game looks great! I think I might hold out for WRC Generations for my off road fix this year, but it's definitely on my radar now.
just torrent it, and then buy it once you have the cash
@aog did you try any other controller then xbox? Weels for example?
It looks promising. Tires wearing and or blowing out. Engine problems, suspension giving out etc. Are all things that routinely happen in Dakar so i expect the same to be in game.
The couple bits I'd teally be interested in is, how realistic is the physics model of the tire in the various terrain types? Do you notice hitting large grooves in the sand from other tracks while using the bike for instance? How about transitioning from dirt onto snow? That would be a major factor in me liking the game, if the physics feel believable. I also have a racing wheel and peddles (and VR headset) collecting dust. Would be nice if any of those would aid in the fun factor here.
pedals
@@amandakb69 peddles is regionally correct
having seen a couple other reviews... seems like the physics/handling sucks unless you're in the trucks
“On roll #2, that plan was out the window” 😂😂
First thing that came to mind, just looking at thumbnail: Motorstorm…
Great review, Karak. It's quite positive, although I've also seen IGN's review saying the driving model is kinda wonky, especially for ATV's that seem undriveable, and bikes being a bit better but not much, with heavier trucks being the most enjoyable. I was looking forward to this game, so maybe I'll grab it on a console after some updates and/or discounts.
Yeah I'll be getting that it sounds and looks fun
09:21
Oh, I love the irony on this one
Made by Saber same team behind Snowrunner, going to get better and better as time goes along.
If they add mods…🔥
Ah yes the team that took Mudrunner, remade it and made wheel/shifter/pedal compatibility worse. In a driving game....
The most "close up" resemblance to Motor Storm on PS3 :)
Such a terrific review, you totally nailed it by leaving no stone un-turned
one of the worst games i've ever played . Action 52 is so much better and actually works with a controller. i made the mistake of picking this up for free from epic games and wasted an hour trying to get it to work. manual transmission will not work on controller and neither does selecting menu items. what a waste of _70GB_ too bad. i wouldn't play this if they paid me. $0 / FREE is too expensive for this game!
That Blood Sport reference deserves a sub
I'm not a Dakar race fan, but this game looks great. I played the older version and even found it fun, despite the issues it had (got it on sale on PS Store for like $3). This will be a grab for me for sure.
Going to buy it later this month due to this review.
Dakar Desert Rally looks like a very enjoyable game, despite the aforementioned issues. I definitely look forward to giving it a shot. Thanks once again Karak for another honest, unbiased and detailed review! God bless and stay safe!
Also how difficult is the easiest difficulty, I don’t have great reflexes, so I’m curious if I’m not great at racing games is this still worth trying?
9:22 i guess karak does see the AI as enemies.
Danm, poor dude.
Great review.
This has to be one of the best reviews of a game I have heard. You perfectly balance a good level of detail on the mechanics and systems at play with your moment-to-moment experience. Keep it up!
just discovered his channel. I'm on my 5th video while I organize some stuff in me roomz 😀
It seems to me that the sensitivity is a bit high when turning and needs to be toned down a bit not sure if this is due to lower classed cars or what.
This reminds me of motorstorm and i bloody loved that game
If I’m a fan of Fuel/Sunday Drive in that Simpsons crazy taxi game, is it worth getting this?
I don’t mind the “racing” but I really just want a game I can endlessly drive and vibe out to
We seem to be same Person. :D
I thought snow in the Sahara just does not happen, but apparently it does. Its very rare, but sometimes occurs and last happened this year (January).
in the Sahara it's sometimes a thing in the Atlas mountains. the game takes place in the Arabian desert though, so the mountains (and snow) is the Sarawat range, which runs from the Saudi Arabian border with Jordan, south down the west coast of Saudi Arabia, then into Yemen
Do you know if, at some point, there will be an offline free roam option in the game? I was so disappointed to find out that the only option it gives you to freely drive throughout the desert is online.
It is coming post launch.
Post launch patch.
@@SpraykwoNTheChef Awesome!!! Do you know when exactly or is it just post launch in general?
@@justinbrown6233 road map saying 2022.
Did the back end of the quad bikes seem super loose? Seemed like you had the most crashes on them
This game gives me huge Motorstorm vibes and I wanna get it for that alone, it looks great. Here's hoping it doesn't get a battle pass though, and if so, not a time gated one.
this looks like a fun time, will consider buying
Thanks for the review. This looks nice. I wonder how it compares to the prior Dakar 18.
Better in every concievable way
@@K1LLeRc0ck That's good, thanks. Can the player still hop off the motorcycle and walk around?
@@BlackArroToons I don't think you can
@@K1LLeRc0ck Okay, thanks. Game looks really good.
If you are a PlayStation owner this is about as good as it gets as a spiritual successor to Motorstorm Pacific rift
played onrush? unfortunately they're closing the servers now, but it's also like motorstorm
I have one question. Does this feel like Motorstorm?
I miss smugglers run, that was a fun driving game
Finally a good Dakar game? Count me in! I hope they add some classic cars like the Porsche 959 and the DAF Turbo Twin.
I believe the DAF turbo is in the game now in the 80's pack (first DLC) and the Porsche is coming in future DLC. :)
Notifications are still coming in big guy.
I would like to add that the ATV physics certainly needs some tweaks. Also I swear the co drivers pace notes seem off at times. Otherwise I'm enjoying the game. I was on the fence with this game but I figured if karak enjoys it so would I. Thanks ACG 👍
On PS5 my game crashed to desktop and deleted the corrupted save data five times on the first real mission. It’s ridiculously unstable and I really hope it gets a day one patch.
Does it support hipcat feedback? (haptick feedback)
How is the game running now on PS5?
Think im gonna pick this up. Also reallt looking forward to Callisto Protocol like a lot. Can't wait. Game on gamers. Be good to each other out there.
Ik I'm late but I am thinking of trying this game out, never been a huge fan of rally racing games but am a fan of open world racing tho, guess I'll give it a chance
i don't like sand...its course and dry
And gets everywhere
Coarse*
I played this game like 15 years ago, but I’m glad you got around to finally reviewing it!!!
As someone raised in the nascar belt this looks good
The bloodsport reference 😂
12:55 verdict for those coming from epic.
one of the worst games i've ever played . Action 52 is so much better and actually works with a controller. i made the mistake of picking this up for free from epic games and wasted an hour trying to get it to work. manual transmission will not work on controller and neither does selecting menu items. what a waste of _70GB_ too bad. i wouldn't play this if they paid me. $0 / FREE is too expensive for this game!
Looks fun and my kind of game. But I think it's a wait for sale for me. Or Until they fix the kamikaze Ai atleast.
A tad to arcady for my taste. But will check out when under 20 bucks perhaps. Good review that informed me on what I would be getting into. Thanks.
Trees have a habit of targeting vehicles
It looks like a lot of fun, I'll check it out
thanks for the review. In a game that screams for a huge open world I missed the information how open the world is or how big those different regions actually are.
Else just looking at all the footage I'm wondering if it's just me but I get the impression that the geometry is so simple and flat that all vehicles just smoothly float over the ground like Marty McFly on his hover board. isn't that supposed to be wild rocky terrain where every rock and stick should shake the different vehicles to the core and try to push it of it's course? this looks like everything is on rails, most bushes and stuff is just no clip except for a few well placed rocks that are intentional obstacles. this really bothers me and gives me that feeling of a very blunt arcade game for 6-10 year olds that just wanna see cars crashing one afternoon.
Excellent review. Glad I gave this game a second chance. Thank you!
What is up with the wheel support for Thrustmaster T300? It sucks man, it doesn't work right (PS5)
MotorStorm: Arab Money,
but this launch felt like the movie "Holding Out" (2008)
@acg how does this compare to the 2018 game?
I'm not really a fan of racing games but damn does this game look good. Hopefully it comes to GamePass because I definitely want to take it for a run or two.
so excited for this
Downloading it now, looks fantastic.
So they got rid of getting out of the vehicle and fixing stuff or to get unstuck?
It's weird to me that on the vehicles it says it's about Dakar 2022. The game released even in 2022 (October I believe). But the contenders you can pick from used different vehicles or livery's in 2022. So the field is actually from 2021. The website even says so. And when was there snow in Saudi Arabia ?
That's actually looks awesome
Motorstorm vibes. I’m getting it
