In particular, such improvements in this speak to those players who have typically found the Dirt Rally's dogged pursuit of simulation level realism to be a little too much to stomach at times.
Arguably, one of its most significant avenues of progression comes in the form of how Codemasters have addressed the series trademark punishingly difficult car handling model. From top to bottom Dirt 4 improves, refines and polishes just about everything that its critically acclaimed predecessor, Dirt Rally, did when it released on PS4 in April last year.
