WRC 8 is a rally simulation game that surprised me quite well. It is the only official FIA licensed game and is developed by KT Racing (Kylotonn) using their own proprietary engine. I did not think I was going to enjoy this game much. But now that I got to play it, I'm loving it right now. I was not really interested in the game at first since it didn't look very realistic from the videos, I've watched. But after playing it, I believe the third-person camera does not do justice for this game.

There are changes to the cars’ steering and handling behaviors from WRC 7. And it's a lot of improvement. For me personally, I prioritize force feedback the highest than anything and I'm happy to say the game does deliver it... It's no 'Assetto Corsa' but it's much better than any 'Dirt' I've played. I could never find a good setting in the 'Dirt' games but in WRC 8, the force feedback was good enough from the start and after tweaking it a little more, I'm really enjoying it right now. There are a lot of car tuning options to make the car drive according to your style. I didn't tune much but that's only because I'm just bad at tuning. There are also a number of tires to choose from. And this becomes tricky when using the dynamic weather system. I can't really talk about the realism of the physics because I've never driven a rally car. But It feels realistic to me... I find the cars to be more grippy comparted to 'Dirt Rally 2.0' but I don't think that's anything bad. Again, I really can't tell which is more realistic; physics wise. Both these games do a good job at it...

Graphically, the game is good looking but nothing mindblowing... I found some stages looking really beautiful and some were just average. Dirt Rally 2.0 has better graphics in my opinion and I think a lot of it has to do with the lighting and post-processing. Also, I tried a number of cars and there is not much reflection on the paint, this feels a little odd to me. But once it starts raining, the game does look beautiful..
