Gravel Reviews
If you are a huge racing game fan that is interested in what the game is trying to do, it may be worth checking out, as it's not a poorly-made game. Otherwise, I'd wait for a price drop before adding this to your collection. Gravel does have a lot of room to expand for a sequel, so I do hope Milestone gives this type of racing game another stab with more memorable results.
Gravel is a nice change of pace from the simulation-heavy racing games available elsewhere in the industry. While decidedly light on content outside of the main campaign and devoid of any real multiplayer options to speak of, the most important part of any racing game, the driving, is consistently fun. Soaring through the skies in multi-ton behemoths or nimble boxer engine Porsches is always a good time, and for capturing that, Milestone deserves praise. But a half-hearted career mode should've stuck with a traditional setup, as opposed to the phoned-in fake television series that we ended up playing. Still, for those aching to race on open courses or jump around in dirt tracks around the world, Gravel is right up your alley, and for slightly less than some of the competition ($49.99 USD) to boot.
Gravel is aptly named: rough, mildly broken, and dull.
Gravel is entertains for the most part but outside the career mode the game lacks longevity. Coupled with some odd omissions such as leaderboards it's a competent racer and not much else.
Gravel isn't perfect but it nails enough of the essentials and brings just enough style to the table to make it a great racing game overall.
Gravel offers fun racing with a variety of cars and environments.
Gravel is a solid title, with an old school gameplay, but few game modes. There's a good variety of cars and locations, with a strong connection to the past and the present of the offroad story. There are some technical problems.

If you're looking for a game with fun arcade off-roading, Gravel is a decent choice but its lack of gameplay variety, average visuals, and steep price hold it back.
Gravel's solid gameplay and strong career mode does enough to keep things mildly enjoyable.
it will be difficult to convince you that the game suits you now with better games that offer more, not to mention the diversity of cars and tracks, we cannot say that we will leave these games to play Gravel it is an experience passed quickly will not remembered.

Gravel offers relaxing off-road experience with arcade feeling. Milestone created enought content, but tracks are mostly boring.

This is a flawed racing game that can still be fun if you can overlook some of its flaws. It suffers from a lack of polish and underwhelming visuals but the driving mechanics are simple to grasp making it easier to recommend for a newcomer to racing games.
All in all, Gravel is a mediocre racing game; one that cannot challenge any of the top quality racing titles currently available on the market. The game has many qualities that the other recent release from Milestone enjoyed, but unlike the motorcycle racing genre, car racing genre is too crowded.

The fun you can have with Gravel outweighs its shortcomings.
Gravel is a great racing experience for veterans and newcomers alike, with so many tracks and cars to unlock this game will keep you busy for a while. However being unable to find an online match has me worried that the replay value of this game isn't very good after you've played through the meat of the single-player game.
Gravel succeeds in delivering an excellent arcade experience packed with a robust career mode, along with the best of classic and modern off-road cars, a diverse list of tracks and sceneries, and a simple and satisfying gameplay.

Milestone's work with this new automotive arcade is definitely above expectations.

Gravel is an above average arcade game that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Milestone should probably slow down the pace and focus on quality, not quantity

We have fun in each session and it makes us want to keep playing but the joking physics at times, his lack of technical ambition, his crazy AI or his repetitive mechanics to advance in career mode muddle the experience.

Gravel is a fun arcade racer – something I've not seen many of in the last few years. It looks and plays great on the Ps4 Pro and offers a tonne of content that will keep you going for a long time. There are plenty of licenced cars which you can use to race through some well-designed areas either against the CPU, other players or solo via Time-Attack; however, the setup of the game (the TV show) feels a little 'basic'. It's great if you love the old-school 'pick a race and go' style, but if you are looking for more depth in the campaign then you may be disappointed.
