Due to TH-cam's servers the 4K version and higher bitrate versions have been "processing" for days. Nothing I can do but hopefully by the time you watch this the video quality is as I intended.
Art of Rally is like your gentle mom teaching you the ways of the world in simple, yet effective ways and Dirt 5 is just your dad who wants to bond with you by trying to be "cool"
Good analogy... an espresso in that local, stylish, impeccably clean, coffee shop, where actual Italians have theirs on the way to work and the tourists don't know exists.
I started playing the dirt series with Dirt2. 2 & 3 were obviously not sims, but they weren’t full arcade either. You actually had a challenge on some of the tracks with narrow roads & steep cliffs. The cars behaved differently from each other. Dirt Showdown knew what it wanted to be & it delivered on it’s derby inspired races. What happened to you Dirt?, why have you strayed this far?
I played Absolute Drift years ago, and loved the simplicity of it. It felt like a game that wanted you to "just drive". Experiment, find out what works, and find out what doesn't work. The graphics are simple and clean... And the soundtrack was some great hypnotic Liquid DnB from just two artists I hadn't heard of yet. I loved Absolute Drift. When I finally got around to playing Art of Rally... I was immediately reminded of Absolute Drift, and figured out pretty quickly that this is the same developer(s). Art of Rally plays like an extremely pretty sequel to Absolute Drift. Again, you're encouraged to "just drive", but there's a huge map to explore this time. Ones that look great. I didn't know I wanted a sequel to Absolute Drift. But Art of Rally is exactly what I wanted.
Your voice is excellent for this kind of video and your points were concise and well explained with great footage to boot. I hope you get many more subscribers
they aren't saving it at all. Dirt 1 was a very nice change in gaming, now I think Dirt Rally has overshadowed it. People really wanted many DR1 features in 2 though, and we were disappointed by things like no hillclimb, poor tarmac physics.... etc... still is the best dirt game to date I believe...
Thank you for your video. I remember when I was totally into Colin McRae 2.0 on the PS1. That game was pure joy for me. Now I have discovered ART OF RALLY and for the first time that exact same joy is back. Plus an awesome soundtrack to boot. Wonderful!
100 plus hours in Art of Rally in just over 6 months. Dirt 5 was a waste of my money and I only spent 5 hours on it and havent touched it in years. Art of Rally is an instant classic!
Thanks for your amazing review and comments. Less is more, new gen games lack content. I have a problem with the Art of Rally. Very often an indicator in the shape of a wheel appears on the left of the speed gauge and punishes me for some kind of driving mistake I cannot understand. What the hell is it, it's driving me mad!
When you breakdown a game, ultimately it will come down to gameplay, if you make a game with really nice controls + handling and good replay value, the game will last forever, graphics are not that important, they only impress but won't add to the quality of the game.
Dirt 5 is just the worst possible result of the decision to split off Dirt Rally as the hardcore sim and make numbered Dirt games a excessively flashy, arcadey experience. Dirt 4 was okay, the driving still felt logical and rewarding, but was still notably easier than Rally 1.0 Dirt 5 feels like Dirt Showdown, just prettier, with better Rally cars. Just a friggin mess.
Dirt Rally 2 is not an arcade game, it is a serious sim racer with setups, tire choices and whatever. AoR is just an arcade game that lets you race around some awesome environments but doesn't try to achieve realism in any way.
My only complaint about Art Of Rally is that the soundtrack is way too chill and doesn’t capture the feel of the game (sending it through corners so ridiculously fast that a tree almost murders you) other than that it’s perfect About to unlock Group B and have been driving some of the cars in free roam. Think I’ll main the Hammer V3
DIRT 5 is meh. 100% agree with that. But comparing these 2 is pointless. DIRT 5 doesn't even have Rally mode and is purely arcade racer. As someone already pointed out a beter comparison would be Art of Rally vs DIRT Rally / DIRT Rally 2.
It shouldn’t be at all surprising that a game made by a single person, fuelled by a passion for the subject matter is better than a factory production line, designed by committee game, made by hundreds of people who were told to do it because it’s their job.
You should really try out Rush Rally 3 and Origins, Cheap extremely fun rally games made by one very skilled dev. it's the best set of rally games on the Switch, Andriod and IOS, and soon coming to Steam. always being updated one coming very soon with more cars tracks
Dirt 5 has motorstorm DNA in it, it definitely wants to be that since well... most of the old evolution devs pretty much worked on it, the only thing is it just can't because of multiple reasons that is and that's only sad thing about it
I think Art of Rally is more akin to Dirt Rally 2.0 They're both awesome and they have similar mechanics, yet different environments, cars, and driving camera angles My pc may not be able to handle Dirt Rally 2.0 but Art of Rally is definitely in my top 10 gaming experiences
Rush Rally looks very interesting 🙂👍 AOR needs a couple more camera angles ! & Yes D5 is played out give me the original Dirt with Pikes Peak and I'm happy ✌😎
I dont like dirt games that dont respect to format of FIA Rally. You drive against time...not other cars on a closed track. Art of rally has more respect for the sport.
Wow! I want art of rally not dirt 5, like dirt 5 looks uninspiring and that commentary is god awful, art of rally tho, wow! Talk about proving a point about graphics arn't everything, art of rally has so much more going for it and is immensely entertaining, thankyou for this spectacular review it's well said and well put together
Wouldn’t Dirt Rally 2 have been a better comparison? I agree with all your points but Dirt 5 is practically Forza Horizon 5. Both are on the more accesible side (to put it very nicely)
I really wanted to like dirt 5 but even for a casual game it is too easy and dull. I played for about 10 hours in a weekend and I was disappointed. Imo AOR is just a better game that is more worth any money you spend on it.
Art of Rally is just such a "Feel Good" game, It takes quite a bit to get the hang of it, which I think is a good thing. Dirt 5 Is just.. meh. There's no accomplishment to it, all you do is press the gas peddle and go.
Why aren't you comparing Art of Rally with Dirt Rally/2 ? They are both 'sims', not simcade as in the 'Dirt' games. Maybe rather than try to cause controversy just be honest about the whole scenario and match like with like. Even if they look nothing like each other they are both trying to simulate rallying. IMHO they both do a decent job of it!!!
Why is that a problem? AoR is not trying to make the most accurate sim racing experience, it is an arcade game. The cars and especially their accompanying background stories are really fun.
Due to TH-cam's servers the 4K version and higher bitrate versions have been "processing" for days. Nothing I can do but hopefully by the time you watch this the video quality is as I intended.
It's NBD, your comments on gameplay and style are what is most important here.
Art of Rally is like your gentle mom teaching you the ways of the world in simple, yet effective ways and Dirt 5 is just your dad who wants to bond with you by trying to be "cool"
Then there's fucking Dirt Rally 2.0, the dad that gets the belt everytime you misbehave.
@@CardinalSinner LMAO lololololol hahaha
@@CardinalSinner LOL FR
Art of rally has been the only racing game where I leave the music on.
No doubt, the soundtrack was amazing!
Dirt 5 is like a mocca frappuchino and art of rally is like an espresso
Good analogy... an espresso in that local, stylish, impeccably clean, coffee shop, where actual Italians have theirs on the way to work and the tourists don't know exists.

Just discovered your channel and this is spot on. Thank you for the hard work and quality analysis.
Your voice is excellent for this kind of video and your points were concise and well explained with great footage to boot. I hope you get many more subscribers
For something that’s only 3GB (on Xbox One), Art of Rally is time well spent. Definitely worth going for 100% game completion.
As much as I love Donut Media being involved in Dirt 5, they aren't saving it singlehandedly.
they aren't saving it at all. Dirt 1 was a very nice change in gaming, now I think Dirt Rally has overshadowed it.

@@cat-le1hf Just don't blame the devs for this, they just want to make another Motorstorm game.

Shouldn't you compare Art of Rally with Dirt Rally 2?
(I also like the approach of Art of Rally more)
imo its unfair, art of rally is simcade whereas dr2.0 is full (or atleast close to) sim
Art of rally is comming to console I'm definitely going to get it
I pre ordered it today I can't wait till tomorrow!
Just d/loaded it, hope its as good as I'm hearing 👍
Dirt 5 is just a glimps of what we can expect on the technical side from Codemasters when they release there first WRC game in 2023 !
Great video! Would you ever consider doing an Art of Rally drifting tips vid?
Theres no other feeling as hiting a top 100 in art of rally
Great video again and I love your approach. Just keep making videos regularly and you'll definitely get many more subscribers.
Rallisport Challenge 2 and Art of Rally are my favorite rally games.
Thanks for your amazing review and comments. Less is more, new gen games lack content. I have a problem with the Art of Rally.

Dirt series has always been an arcade rally,btw
Art of rally has the same feeling of Lonely Mountains Downhill, dope
Why not compare to Dirt Rally 2 instead? Dirt 5 is not really only about pure rally like AoR is.
@MidNight Rules Dirt 5 was never meant to be a rally game though.
Dirt Rally 2 is not an arcade game, it is a serious sim racer with setups, tire choices and whatever. AoR is just an arcade game that lets you race around some awesome environments but doesn't try to achieve realism in any way.
@@Eikenhorst Actually The phisics of AoR are pretty realistic Dirt rally Is way better In phisics but the AoR ones are good
Art of Rally is not about Rally its about ART.
My only complaint about Art Of Rally is that the soundtrack is way too chill and doesn’t capture the feel of the game (sending it through corners so ridiculously fast that a tree almost murders you) other than that it’s perfect
About to unlock Group B and have been driving some of the cars in free roam. Think I’ll main the Hammer V3
Respectfully strongly disagree
@@Daagen I respect that decision
Reminds me of that zen drifting game, I think you even used a line from that game
Absolute Drift? Same developer(s)!
Art of Rally is a great game, I thought I wouldn't like it because of the odd camera angle, but now I can't stop playing it.
Good video! Love Art of Rally
DIRT 5 is meh. 100% agree with that. But comparing these 2 is pointless. DIRT 5 doesn't even have Rally mode and is purely arcade racer. As someone already pointed out a beter comparison would be Art of Rally vs DIRT Rally / DIRT Rally 2.

Try with Dirt rally Is not that heavy like 2.0
PD: Ik the comment Is 1 month ago...
@@anotherweirdperson5382 _hmmmmmmmm_ I could reconsider
i was thinking rbr
Art of rally is amazing
kinda just comes down to the fact that art of rally is more of a true game, where dirt 5 is more of just a sim game
Bruh Dirt 5 got James Pumphrey and Nolan Sykes to voice in the game.
Dirt 4 is the best rally game ever. I still play it regularly.
To be honest, the Donut commentary sounds like Donut commentary.
I mean… I kinda like it.
(Call me a boomer I know)
Rush Rally looks very interesting 🙂👍
AOR needs a couple more camera angles !
& Yes D5 is played out give me the original Dirt with Pikes Peak and I'm happy ✌😎
got to agree art of rally is the nuts
Both of games are very good.
didnt know james and nolan from donut media voiced the commentators
With game pass I have them both for free (and 100s more) , started playing “Art of Rally” , never tried anything else ✌️.
Im playing it like hell at the moment is has better engine sound than WRC 10 ! Thats all i can confirm at the moment !😂
I dont like dirt games that dont respect to format of FIA Rally. You drive against time...not other cars on a closed track. Art of rally has more respect for the sport.
Good video that's very well presented.
It's earned you a like and subscribe from me!
Keep up the good work.
When the hell did rallying became an extreme sport?
Always has been, get a grip of reality
Wow! I want art of rally not dirt 5, like dirt 5 looks uninspiring and that commentary is god awful, art of rally tho, wow! Talk about proving a point about graphics arn't everything, art of rally has so much more going for it and is immensely entertaining, thankyou for this spectacular review it's well said and well put together
Art of Rally is a great little game and I would also say Rush rally origins is better than DIRT 5 too :)
Wouldn’t Dirt Rally 2 have been a better comparison?
I agree with all your points but Dirt 5 is practically Forza Horizon 5. Both are on the more accesible side (to put it very nicely)
fun, challenging, arcade gameplay > easy, flat, dead simcade gameplay / graphics. ANYDAY
I really wanted to like dirt 5 but even for a casual game it is too easy and dull. I played for about 10 hours in a weekend and I was disappointed. Imo AOR is just a better game that is more worth any money you spend on it.
Idk i still think dirt 5 is cool
But i prefer simple rally games
It is and if you say it’s not your lying
dirt5 is arcade game its not sim.
so i think you should compare Art of Rally with Dirt Rally 2.0
And same goes to art of rally where they inspired 80s arcade game
Art of Rally is just such a "Feel Good" game, It takes quite a bit to get the hang of it, which I think is a good thing.
Dirt 5 Is just.. meh. There's no accomplishment to it, all you do is press the gas peddle and go.
No grafic wise but in gameplay of course TaoR is more Sim than Dirt 5 !
Dirt isn't a rally game tho

But they're different,art of rally is arcade game 80s/90s style but they has perfect sim element,while dirt rally was purely hardcore sim rally.
Lol Art of Rally isn’t a sim game, you’re just butthurt that he shat on your beloved Dirt game
@@fatbroccoli8 What do you know fat-lad.
@@carlosfandango2419 I know it’s not a sim game
Every racing game is better than Dirt 5...LOL
Dirt 5 was a disaster
Dirt 5 sucks…. Like it’s not good guys. I wish art of rally had first person view…
sadly art of rally dont have licensed rally car
Why is that a problem? AoR is not trying to make the most accurate sim racing experience, it is an arcade game. The cars and especially their accompanying background stories are really fun.
@@Eikenhorst at least with licensed rally car make we feel like drive real car..
@@faydulaksono its not very dificult to understand what cars they are trying to emulate
@@faydulaksono you mean it doesn’t have a tiny little badge telling you what car it’s supposed to be lol we all know what cars they are
@@fatbroccoli8 yes i know what car we use in game too.but if there real car name . at least i feel like play AAA game
Dirt 5 is garbage.
Meh, I prefer Forza Horizon 4
Its not a rally games/ITS A FCKING FUN DRIVING GAMES,IDIOT!!!!!
Both
Both is good
