Early Access Spotlight: DiRT Rally

It's been a long while since Shacknews has issued an Early Access Spotlight, but today is as good a time as any to bring this feature back, albeit in a slightly different way. Today's Early Access Spotlight is going to be a video feature.

DiRT Rally hit Steam Early Access earlier this week and resident racing enthusiast Eric Shugg couldn't wait to get his hands on it. So watch as he breaks down the ins-and-outs of the newest entry in the DiRT series.

Among the items that Eric dives into is the new co-pilot feature, which acts as something of a replacement for the traditional mini-map. He also goes into the track design, the unfriendly "teeter-totter" moments, damage accumulation and its effect on performance, the game's physics, and more.

Check out Eric's full analysis in the video below. For more, be sure to subscribe to Shacknews on YouTube.

This evaluation is based on a digital PC copy provided by the publisher. Dirt Rally is available on Steam Early Access for $34.99.
