“This is the most inconsistent game saga ever. And it is beyond any logical explanation why the oldest (technically) installment has the best visual damage of cars and the most detailed plants and scenery? What happened?…”
“holds up pretty well, looks better than EA WRC blurry ass”
“For a 2015 game, it's highly realistic and has good graphics, runs insanely smoothly and works very well with a wheel.”

“good game tbh the carier mode is great im just ass at driving worth it on sale 100% play on the 11 version the other has horrid graphics”
“Got the game on a steal of 99 cents. Its amazing ngl. graphics are smooth and progressive damage once you hit you car is a killer. For 99 cents you cant go wrong plus this game can run on a potato.”

“This game has great graphics, an excellent choice of stages and a good handling model. The handling is a nice balance between arcade and sim. I play older rally games and the handling reminds me of Colin Mcrae Rally 4.…”

“WRC5 AI is a mirage Inferior to its predecessor WRC4. i see aspects that don't compare positively to WRC4. Physics are far too basic to be acceptable in a rally game. The interaction between the car, the environment and…”

“A decent rally game, the physics are a bit too sluggish and the control input (keyboard) applies slowly.”

“WRC 5 shows rally cars driving on roads made of dirt, asphalt, or snow while the player presses buttons to accelerate and steer. The car moves forward when acceleration is applied and turns when steering input is used.…”

“I just became the champion of muddy tracks, where every turn feels like a comedic quest. The adrenaline rush and jokes about speed make it unforgettable!”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“There are other rally games out there with more 'secondary' content (WRC 8+, DiRT and DR2.0), with more of a high-octane approach, and with a more attention-demanding (per se) handling system. WRC 5 is, by comparison, pretty simplistic. You have a good amount of tracks, a…”
— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“TL:DR For the first wrc made by KT racing, this game does some things better and a lot of things worse than the later entries. Overall though I think this game is pretty mid. Not exactly bad, but I don't feel like the game deserves a positive rating. I'd only recommend playing…”
