Controls - 4.5/5
I feel like it's a shame I didn't discover this franchise earlier. The controls of these cars are very enjoyable both on gravel and tarmac. Snow is very challenging.
First, the comparisons I'll draw are with DiRT Rally 2.0 and Richard Burns Rally, the biggest competitors in the rally game niche.
Controlling the WRC vehicles on every possible surface is a challenge. But it can be very rewarding if you manage to just hit a single corner the way you want to. WRC Generations manages to succeed very effectively in creating a real feeling of how it could be to drive one of these modern rally cars.
Of course, as someone who hasn't driven a rally vehicle IRL, I cannot say how realistic the feeling is. It is very convincing though.
In the beginning, if you are a newbie to rally simulators, it is a challenge to get used to the controls, however. You need a lot of determination to not give up after overshooting your breaking points 10 times in a row. And that is the only caveat I have about this game's controls, hence the 4.5 stars. This is a problem with every rally simulator though.
One thing that should be mentioned too is the fact that, as with every simulator, if you have a wheel and pedals, the setup of those can be a bit frustrating, but more about that later.
