Reception

The game was released to mixed reception, with reviewers praising improvements over its predecessor but criticised the game's controls and lack of depth compared to the likes of DiRT 4 . Metacritic gave it a score of 70 out of 100 for each of the three platform releases. [3] [4] [5]

GameSpot said: "For all its minor faults and bare-bones nature in comparison to others, WRC 7 is still an enjoyable, but seriously challenging rally title. It's not the most welcoming game for newcomers, and even experienced racers will find some of the rougher stages tricky." [6]

The game won the award for "Best Sports Game" at the 2017 Ping Awards. [7]
