Balancing throttle, brake and smooth steering inputs is nigh on impossible by hardware design.īut, somehow, once you’ve adapted and got past the tricky mix of asphalt and ice during the Monte Carlo stages in the career – which returns and is as in-depth as ever with team personnel management, driver training, car upgrades and objectives – and move onto the snow of Sweden or the gravel of Sardegna, you can achieve a rhythm. This is mainly due to the digital, as opposed to analogue, inputs that hinder any racing game on Switch that isn’t in an outlandish arcade style. Things are exaggerated even further when trying some of the classic Anniversary vehicles, thanks to their less sophisticated drivetrains. Think of it as a form of Formula 1’s current porpoising challenge, but instead of up and down, you go side to side. Initially, the handling is razor-sharp, to the point where you are weaving left and right down the route. Dark, stormy conditions one stage, bright sunshine the next. Still, WRC 10’s wide range of time and weather options is mightily impressive on such a compacted platform.

The loading times are, sadly, equally as lethargic too. It also means sometimes barren landscapes and jagged edges. That means 30fps, but with drops when shadows or more detailed environments are driven past. Sweden takes the snowy place of the last-minute-covid-enforced Arctic Rally Finland too.Īlso looking to last year’s Switch release of WRC 9, and 2020’s WRC 8, the visuals are for all intents and purposes, identical. There’s no WRC Esports, online clubs or online multiplayer, which aren’t huge losses, but all the new stages in Croatia, Greece, Spain and Belgium gamely make the transition across alongside the Livery Editor and the new Anniversary Mode, celebrating 50 years of the sport with historical challenges.Ĭompared to last year’s WRC 9 on Switch, the increase in tracks, cars and challenges is impressive, especially considering stages from WRC 8’s Chile event and Wales Rally GB are included too, despite their omissions from the real-world 2021 WRC season.

The third interpretation of the sport on Switch, it comes six months after the ‘home console’ and PC versions – which we thoroughly enjoyed – with several key compromises. That means a diverse range of point-to-point stages, where you compete against the clock, and the official drivers, teams and locations. What you have here is a serious racing game, that is representing the real-world 2021 season of the World Rally Championship.

But, it’s important to focus on the Switch owner who may not own any other system, and when looked at in this light, this new version of one of the best rally games, WRC 10, is a worthy addition to the portable roster.

It’s easy to turn a blind eye to the deluge of Switch ports – big games already available on PlayStation, Xbox and PC, squished down as an ‘afterthought’ for Nintendo’s diminutive hybrid.
