What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Dakar 18 receives mixed feedback from players, with significant complaints about confusing co-pilot navigation cues, poor vehicle handling physics on different terrain types, and graphics that seem underwhelming for an Unreal Engine 4 title. While some players enjoy it and die-hard rally raid fans may find entertainment despite frustrations, the overall consensus suggests the game has notable technical and design issues that detract from the experience.

Essa miséria faz o Flatout 3 parecer um jogo competente (eu tô exagerando por efeito dramático, não é tão ruim assim, mas é ruim) Já no tutorial tu pode ver varios problemas, nas trilhas o carro parece estar dirigindo em sabão, e nas dunas ele só anda em baixa rotação (????), os marcadores não fazem o menor sentido, o copiloto diz "por 2km dirija em linha reta" e 2 segundos depois "em 300m vire a direita" ???, mais 2 segundos " pedra grande a esquerda" ??????? Os gráficos pra mim são curiosos por apesar de ser rodar na UE4 ele parece muito com os NASCAR HEAT que rodam em fodendo Unity, a única diferença é a otimização que é bem melhor nos NASCAR. No geral péssima experiencia, mal consigo imaginar o esforço mental de quem parou pra jogar isso aqui

It is pretty cool, but too arcade like, and difficult to read the terrain. Physics are....interesting. If you are die-hard rally raid freak idiot like me, you will have fun through the frustration. But only a little.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
