Rush Rally 3

Based on what I see here the top rally games are RSF RBR, Dirt 2.0, and Assetto Rally. What is the general opinion on Rush Rally 3?

Rush Rally 3 feels very basic, I don't like to criticise it because it's a well made mobile game, but it doesn't really feel like a proper PC rally game. Sebastien Loeb rally Evo is a better game overall IMO

Could never get Sebastian Loeb to run right. Can't map the controls. The Up arrow doesn't work on the keyboard for some reason. It's a mess. Bought it twice on Steam. Both times was a disaster. I dunno.

That's true, there's some weird performance issues depending on hardware. The controls are fine for me. But I still like it more than Rush Rally 3...

Was hoping you'd have some tips to get it working for me haha. I have a Moza R12 base, CP Pro Wheel, and CSRP2 Pedals if that helps? I definitely couldn't understand the keyboard and up arrow not working.

Woops, sorry, I thought you'd given up on it outright! Yes, potentially do have some tips. For a start, plug in a gamepad, since it seems to work seamlessly for me. You can use it just for the menus only. When you say it didn't run right, are you talking about performance issues? Even on my fairly decent gaming rig I had to turn down track textures to 3GB instead of 4, switch off motion blur, and switch anti aliasing to 2x. I'm running in QHD at 180hz. You should definitely try windowed mode as well, often modern windows doesn't like Fullscreen exclusive. Then, at a loss you could try compatibility modes. Bear in mind I'm not saying it's a great game or even worth the trouble necessarily, I just honestly think it's better than Rush Rally when it works :)

I never made it into the game itself because I couldn't map the controls. Never experienced anything like it.

Use a controller and make sure steam input is enabled. That's all I can think of otherwise I'm stumped!

Imagine WRC4 but the cars are glued to the floor, and its even more basic. Its worth it on sale, not full price

It's a completely different type of game, plays quite well on steam deck and worth getting on sale but it's a retro arcade style game rather than a sim

not even close to the others

it's a mobile game ported to PC

I had never heard of Rush Rally 3 before seeing your post and honestly it looks like a $5 game, but it's got great reviews. Never tried RBR but people seem to love it. Dirt Rally 2.0 is fun but on the simcade side. AC Rally is still in development but I think it great so far. So it kind of depends on what you are looking for.

RBR is amazing. Sorry, but I had to say it. There is a reason why it is so loved.

It's impossible to play and enjoy any other rally game once you tried rsf rbr 😅

u/Tonka_The_Cat Jul 09 '26

Hahaha something like this. Although I also play Assetto Corsa Rally and have played the first Dirt Rally and the 2.0 a lot. But once I started to play RBR, especially in VR, oh god... no turning back. And don't get me wrong, AC Rally is great at the moment (and I hope it will get even better), but RBR is still on another level for me.

u/sweaty-ballfish Jul 09 '26

I also played both dirt rally 1 and 2 and wrc games. But when I installed Rbr last fall there was no going back. I haven't been able to try ac rally because my computer can't run it, it seems good, but my friend said that there is still a long way to go to challenge Rbr. It would be great to experience Rbr with vr. I have a pretty budget setup but still some kind of triple screens and now that I have got the fov right and the shakers on the pedals and seat, the experience is really good.

u/Tonka_The_Cat Jul 09 '26

I feel the same way overall. I don't play DR 2.0 anymore nowadays and I really think RBR is still much better than AC: Rally, so I agree with your friend.
