Our Review

8 /10

The good

A blast to play with a wheel
Vehicle handling which moves the arcade genre forward
Varied track and vehicle selection

The bad

Short career mode
inconsistent audio and visuals
Poor vehicle models

Summary

Gravel may be inspired by old-school arcade racers from the 90’s, but it certainly has a place in today’s market. The in-depth physics model, coupled with the impressive wheel support with superb force feedback sets a new standard in the arcade racing genre for other developers to match. Gravel is one of the most fun racers of this generation and is worth a purchase if you crave an old-school racing experience, especially if you own a force feedback wheel. If however, you’re worried about the short career mode, it’s probably best to wait for a price drop.
