This is the one. I've always wanted a simulation-style rally game with non-realistic aesthetics. Now, this game is not entirely sim. It's pretty close. But more pragmatically, this game is a fair mixture of retro aesthetics, arcade modes, and sim-ish mechanics. I don't like writing Early Access reviews. That said, I feel compelled to make an exception for this game — so much can change so fast. However, I feel this game is already very good, and will only get better. In its current state, it lacks longevity. It's missing features like daily or weekly challenges, something that will bring you back after you've completed the rally events and time trial modes. It does have a versus mode, either player to player or versus AI, but I personally don't feel this mode is that compelling. The main progression is completing the Rookie, Intermediate, Pro etc Rallies, and unlocking all the cars. There's also some vague sense of progression in the time trial mode where not all tracks are unlocked until you've completed another section of that stage under the given time. At the time of writing, the game only has Rally A, S and Classic cars/rallies. Deeper Mechanics I feel the game maintains itself as an approachable entry point to Rally in general, but is still very technical as far as the actual driving. Different terrain affects grip. But you won't be doing a lot of weight shifting to perform pendulum turns, however the game's internal physics still require a decent of amount of precision and technical understanding of the tracks and how different cars respond to different terrain. There is no worry about tires, there is no need to use soft/hard tires to balance grip/endurance. Which is slightly disappointing, but you have to consider that this is an indie title and it really shouldn't be compared to larger budget titles. There are weather effects, but I largely found them to not affect the actual driving. Damage as well, it's mostly cosmetic. It's persistent through a single rally, but it's more of a health bar that you have to use 'time' in-between stages to repair. I think this game looks incredible/Deck Specs I'm not sure what it is about this low-poly/pixel filter aesthetic, but it just looks amazing. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3401183395 This game runs incredibly on the Deck — perhaps unsurprisingly. At the native 800p, max settings, the Deck easily pushes 90 FPS using only about 11-13W, depending on the stage. My theory is that the anti-aliasing on the stages with a lot of foliage causes the Deck to pull those extra 2W. I think a game like this would be a shining example as a candidate for the theoretical “Steam Deck Lite” that I so desire. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3401186504 The Gist This game checks a lot of boxes for me. It offers a lot at its current price point, but I would love to see it expand into something more. Jan 2025 update — a daily challenge has been added.

I like this game because it allows me to experience how fun the jingle of the keys in my pocket sound after 12 beers without committing a vehicular homicide

A simple but very enjoyable rally game, there isn't much content yet but it's priced fairly to reflect that and its in early access so I look forward to returning to it in the future.

Old School Rally stands out as one of the most polished early access titles I've played, and it's clear that the developers have a deep passion and respect for the racing genre. The game runs flawlessly, whether you're playing on a desktop or the Steam Deck, making it a great choice for racing enthusiasts on the go. Visually, the game is stunning, with an art style that’s both unique and immersive. The smooth gameplay complements the graphics, creating a racing experience that’s both satisfying and engaging. The handling is responsive, though some might find the cars a bit too grippy—this could come down to personal preference. Despite being in early access, there's already a solid amount of content available, especially considering the price point. However, some players might feel that the current content doesn’t fully justify the cost. The good news is that the roadmap promises plenty more to come, which makes the investment more appealing. There are a few minor issues, such as occasional late calls and some clipping, but these are small annoyances in an otherwise promising game. The developers have laid a strong foundation, and I’m excited to see what future updates will bring, especially if they include more game modes, cars, and possibly even multiplayer. Old School Rally is a simple but fun rally game that’s definitely worth following as it continues to develop. If you’re a fan of racing games and want to support a team making quality content without publisher interference, this one is worth checking out.

It's literally a more functional game than like 90% of early access. Works flawlessly on Steam Deck as well. You can fell the passion and respect for the genre in every regard. In my opinion the cars are a bit too much on the grippier side, but that's probably just a matter of preference. For the price point, there's already a good amount of content, but the roadmap indicates plenty more to come. I'm happy, that there are developers making good racing games, free from meddling publishers.
