Reception

V-Rally 4 received mixed to positive reviews. Aggregating review website GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PC version 80.00%, the Xbox One version 70.67% and 68/100, the PlayStation 4 version 58.50% and 58/100 and the Nintendo Switch version 62.50% and 51/100.
PlayStation Official Magazine said "The rally fundamentals are there, but so is a disappointingly shoddy career mode. Genre fans will find a lot to love, but this is far from taking pole position." Metro said it was "An unlikely sequel that ultimately struggles to find its place among today’s line-up of more polished and more established alternatives." IGN summarised it "An arcade racing game with some spectacular moments, whose roots are guiltily stuck in the past." 4Players said "While Kylotonns rally games showed positive tendencies with the WRC series, this is a serious setback. This is a disappointing comeback for the franchise."
