Decided to dust this one off after a year in the backlog for a change of pace in regards to racers. It's certainly one of the most realistic-feeling games of its kind compared to others that I've played. Beautiful map, very unique selection of cars, and a very satisfying control set once acclimated to it, but it's a little buggier than I would like in some spots. I'll be keeping this on the list to pull out as needed. Pretty enjoyable as a whole!

it was full of BUG unplayable !!

This was a significant improvement over Dakar 18. The one thing that really irked me was I ran into a bug that crashed the game late into a long stage, and every time I tried resuming it kept crashing. After an update I had to restart that whole long stage but did manage to finally complete it and progress further. Oh, and in the actual simulation mode you can run into steep, massive sand dunes the size of mountains and I cannot adequately describe the controller-smashing frustration they can cause. Vehicles cannot scale them, and if you try going around you're nagged by your co-driver while you're already furious.
