Art of Rally is a premium racing game for mobile developed by Noodlecake. It is a rally racer that features clean and minimalistic aesthetics. In it, players will participate in various rally tournaments around the world driving all sorts of vehicles, from vintage cars to more modern machines.

Compared to Rally Fury or CarX Rally, which go for realistic graphics and the most authentic experience possible, Art of Rally takes on a simpler and more casual approach, focusing on the driving experience. Players can vie for the top spot on the leaderboards and complete daily and weekly challenges, as well.

A different kind of thrill

Rally racing is one of the most popular types of races in the world, and plenty of video games have attempted to capture its essence through thrilling and gripping gameplay experiences. Thus, it can be quite polarizing when a title tries to do the opposite, but that is exactly what Art of Rally has done with its interpretation of the genre.

One way to describe this game is a chilled-out interpretation of the classic gameplay that provides a slower and calmer experience. Jump into Career Mode and race in various stages spread across seven countries. Drive vintage cars from the 60s to the 80s, as well as Groups A, B, and S. It’s also quite beginner-friendly, offering players multiple driving modes to suit their proficiency.

Another highlight is its art style that uncommonly focuses on race tracks themselves and their beautiful landscapes and lush colors that you can enjoy with the help of the built-in Photo and Replay modes. However, a huge drawback of the game would be its confounding physics. Players may lose control of the vehicle often, and the dramatic camera angles would make trying to get back on the road rather tricky.

Speed and beauty

If you’re a fan of rally racing games looking for something new and different to try out, Art of Rally is an intriguing new title worth looking into. Its combination of beautiful art and casual gameplay makes for a relaxing experience uncommon to the genre. Just keep in mind that the game physics can get a bit frustrating, especially for those who want a solid virtual driving experience.
