From its incredible soundtrack to its unbelievably fun gameplay and striking visuals, art of rally is a genuine contender for 2020’s best racer.
Like a playable poster for an iconic rally event, Funselektor’s top-down racer is a blast.
Reconnecting with feelings that have gone out of fashion, Art of Rally is a welcome entertainment at a time games are more and more complex and dense.

FingerGuns | Andy Manson | 9 / 10 | 10-05-2020 | A natural evolution of Absolute Drift, art of rally is a terrific passion project that serves as the perfect love letter to rally driving.

Gameblog | Vincent Elmer-Haerrig | 8 / 10 | 10-11-2020 | Reconnecting with feelings that have gone out of fashion, Art of Rally is a welcome entertainment at a time games are more and more complex and dense. Just like kart racing, it offers quick handling and good sensations. Without second thoughts, we drive and we learn to adapt to the different cars it offers. In addition, it is perfect for small PC configurations. | Read review |

Polygon | Owen Good | Recommended | 09-25-2020 | Rally driving, for me anyway, is about plowing headlong into the unknown, understanding the risk of fast driving in a way you can’t on an oval or a well-known circuit. That makes taking a square left perfectly, or drifting through the full 180 degrees of a switchback, seem even more high-five-myself awesome. And I got exactly that in Art of Rally. If that’s the experience you want, too, Art of Rally will serve it as much as it will an escape from the present day, for a delightful joyride through a beautiful countryside. | Read review |
Saving Content | Scott Ellison II | 5 / 5 stars | 09-18-2020 | When you figure out what your style of play and preferred level of challenge is, art of rally is a beautiful marriage of sim and arcade. This is a game that continually showcases its name through its visuals and easy-to-grasp controls. It’s simple, yet elegant. It’s complex, but intuitive. It’s satisfying, and rewarding. art of rally is transcendent. | Read review |
The Games Machine | Claudio Magistrelli | 8.3 / 10 | 10-06-2020 | Don’t trust art of rally. Even if it looks like a cute, tiny, aesthetic arcade racing game, it is actually a love tribute to the history of rally, from a rally lover to rally lovers all over the world. Underneath his neat visual style and his top-down visuals lies a great rally sim, stripped of every needless detail and still playable by any kind of gamer thanks to a vast array of camera and difficulty options. | Read review |
WayTooManyGames | Leonardo Faria | 9 / 10 | 09-23-2020 | Pardon the cliché, but Art of Rally is exactly that. It’s art. Not only is it one hell of an entertaining racing game, but it’s also a visual delight, a musical masterpiece, and a love letter to cars and racing in general. The developers took inspiration from lots of different gaming and non-gaming sources in order to create something unique and truly memorable. | Read review |
Worth Playing | Cody Medellin | 9 / 10 | 02-26-2021 | Art of Rally is a racing game for those who want something different. The more playful nature is a nice contrast to the title’s simulation-style handling and physics. There are plenty of cars, liveries, and tracks to unlock, and the online play keeps things fresh thanks to the system of weekly and daily challenges. Unless you only want serious racing games, genre fans will love Art of Rally. | Read review |
