DAKAR 18 IS IT WORTH IT NOW? FIRST LOOK & STAGE 1 MOTO ROOKIE+COMPETITOR/STAGE 1 CAR COMPETITOR
EDIT MARCH 2021 - This was the first video of Dakar 18 game I made, the game sound in the background is too loud and sometimes is hard to hear me talking, very sorry about that. The sound set up is fixed in the following videos of this series, we compete with Laia Sanz riding Moto KTM in Dakar Rally.
TIME MARKS;
INTRO
INTRO we talk about the game characteristics and poor reviews at the time of release back in Sep.2018
Actual full price in Steam is aprox USD14/EUR 12
I bought this game during Autumn sale at aprox USD4/EUR3.5
The price includes the Dakar rally plus 2 DLC;
Desafio Ruta 40 a 5 stage rally in Argentina
Inca Rally a 3 stage rally in Peru
At this price I think is totally worth to give it a try, after watching the video what do you think?
