Rally Point 5 (2020) - Every PC Rally Game
0Rally Point 5 by Xform Games, 2020.
Originally released in 2016 as a browser-based game , Xform Games have since released this via their itch.io page as a standalone game, re-engineered in Unity, with improved graphics, sound and framerate. I'm covering this standalone, latest version here.
It's getting harder to spot the key differences between Rally Point games! This one seems to retain the 9 tracks (although reversed and/or mirrored), covering Desert, Snow and Jungle environment, which have also been mostly seen in previous games. There are 9 cars again, although this time they're mainly lifted from Xform Games other series, Burnin' Rubber.
As per Rally Point 4, a co-driver now calls out the sharpness of corners (in an arcade style!).
Once again the game has rather clunky, heavy keyboard controls and an awfully short musical loop in the background that can't be disabled (unless you turn off ALL the sound!). The overlaid, mobile-style interface is only really relevant if you're playing on a touch screen device.
All my previous comments apply: there's really not a lot of gameplay to be had here, apart from trying to beat your previous best time at each track. And that the controls are a little weird, featuring a dedicated drift button (that works to a varying degree depending on car chosen) and a nitro (which causes you to explode, should you overheat).
So, in short, yet another somewhat clunky, small rally title, which you'll complete in a very short time!
