In between races, you can scramble the repair team to focus on body, engine, and other wear-and-tear eroding your car throughout the series. It’s just you, the closed-circuit road, and some finish-line results to review. Crowds feel uninspired and there isn’t anything in the way of commentary to hype success or dwell on failure. But co-pilot callouts, while helpful, sound robotic and canned. Racing feels fine and there is a genuine sense of speed and grip. Really, there’s not much to be said in terms of dynamic gameplay at all. The various permutations and combinations of these features results in a plethora of locations but the track you see at the start line is as it will be at the end. The tracks are satisfyingly varied in length, weather, difficulty, and surface type. Race by race, my skills improved alongside my enjoyment and appreciation for the game. And when everything clicks, it’s an authentic experience. Heeding your co-pilots warnings requires a no-distractions approach and developing your own approach to every gentle or hairpin turn. WRC 7 captures the excitement of the risk-reward present in accelerating or braking through every turn, every jump, and every inch of every track. It’s a pretty basic happy face/sad face relationship but I genuinely felt rewarded to see that frown turn upside-down. Right or wrong, my racing team entrusted their car and reputation on my abilities and instantly, I felt like I couldn’t let them down. Let’s face it – there was no way I’m finishing these races without a scratch. With ostensibly no barriers to entry, WRC 7 welcomed me with open arms and I enthusiastically jumped into the solo Career by signing a contract with the promise of achieving the fastest race time – no matter the damage. It doubles as a quick way to get you racing right away and a game-setting calibration tool.

Luckily WRC 7 begins with an easy-to-finish but tough-to-master track that evaluates your rally racing prowess. It’s a bit of an Inception situation – a niche within a niche (within a niche). Rally racers aren’t typically for the every-gamer.

Unfortunately, even with a full Career mode and multiplayer suite, the experience doesn’t expound much upon the basic A to B races.

The great thing about WRC 7 is it caters to those looking for a comfort-food type of experience with some generous driver assists and gentle difficulty settings. Drifting around corners, launching off jumps, and baaarely staying on course makes for an almost-arcade-y style of racing.

If Rally Racing was a person, my guess is it would be the less-intimidating, possibly second child, member of the family. Platforms: Xbox One (reviewed), PS4, PC Kicking Tires
