ザ・キング・オブ・ラリー

After about ten hours in, the sheer distance of the Paris-to-Moscow-leg really tests your patience, but the way the terrain shifts keeps it from getting dull. The stamina management adds a nice layer of strategy beyond just steering.

The map screen is a lifesaver for planning fuel stops across those endless stages. I was genuinely surprised by how tense the long hauls feel—it’s a lot more strategic than I expected from a retro rally game.

Stamina is the whole game here—I kept telling myself “one more checkpoint” and suddenly it’s 2 a.m. The way the race stretches across three countries makes every stage feel like a real endurance test, and the tension never lets up.
