You can name your co-driver this year, which is a fun touch, and KT Racing has added both an English-language female co-driver and a range of extra co-driver chatter for a bit more flavor out on stages.

They probably could've done with a wider range of comments, because they get repetitive quickly, and they're not always correct.

But I quite admire WRC 10's ability to get her eyes out of me. - Seems a bit optimistic. - Shut up! don't tell me how to drive!

If you find it irritating, the so-called immersive voice can be toggled off, there's definitely been work on car audio this year too.

It sounds denser and I've encountered none of the volume bugs I ran into in WRC 9. I did find at least one new bug though, hey! you did say caution tree inside.

WRC 10 includes the new Estonian and Croatian rallies, but there are a few rallies missing from the roster.

The last-minute Arctic Rally won't be featured (the cancelled Rally Sweden remains in WRC 10 in its place), but KT Racing has explained that Belgium and the modern Greek stages will follow after launch.

I think Estonia is the highlight of the new rallies so far, with its fast, dusty stages and lush and gorgeous colour palette.

It's also a gravel rally which I prefer over tarmac rallies as it's the type of looser driving I enjoy.

There have been some changes to the handling this year and I find the better sense of consistent momentum while sliding cars on the throttle quite satisfying.

It also feels more challenging to make very small steering adjustments at high speed, on a controller and it does quite a good job of letting you know when you have the wrong tyres on.

Kt Racing stage design remains fabulous, although it's a shame so much of its excellent work from WRC 8 and WRC 9 has been dropped thanks to calendar changes.

There is actually an extra tab for bonus rallies, which I excitedly thought may have been KT Racing's way of including rallies from the last couple of games that aren't being run in 2021, like Poland, Germany, Mexico, Turkey, or Australia, but that tab is inaccessible so instead I'm just confused.

WRC 10 is a great rally game and a lovely, if a fraction flawed, ode to the… 49-year history of the World Rally Championship.

The end result isn't streets ahead of the already impressive WRC 9, and it's still making some of the latter's minor mistakes.

But WRC 10 is another successful example of KT Racing's commitment to fantastic stage design and frantic, fast-paced, and occasionally unforgiving fun.
