RIDE 4

Do you feel like games are too easy? Is Dark Souls a piece of cake for you?
Are you tired of always being the 'champ' in every racing game you've ever played?
Does it feel like other players couldn't even qualify as beginner bots in Forza?
Do you have absolutely no self control?
Well boy oh boy do I have a treat for you...
Turn this on, turn off all driver assistance and get ready to send your driver into Every Single Object next to the track.
It took me 71 minutes to Finish a track 3 times. Well below the minimum required to pass.
I have never had a game look at me and tell me to go ♥♥♥♥ myself and man did I need this.
This is not a game, this is absolute pleasure for when life feels too easy and it is a fantastic masterpiece.

If you want a challenging, go for Ride 4. If you want to chill and just have fun, go for Ride 5.

E.g. Ride 5 braking and acceleration is easy, I cannot manage to lose the front or slide with the rear. No matter how badly I ride. (0 assists)

Ride 4 will punish you for aggressive input. It is a steep learning curve for newbies.

Forza, but with motorcycles!
Really beautiful and fun. The best feeling in this game is beating a race in first and watching that head-cam style replay. I can't say buy it while it's at 40 bucks; I'd wait until it goes on sale. Just like I'm going to do for RIDE 5.

Would I recommend? Yes, absolutely. The game is beautiful and the handling is better than any other motorcycle game, BUT the AI is just awful. You leave them for dust on the straights with any bike, but in the corners with some bikes and on some tracks, the AI will be the one leaving you in the dust. They carry unrealistic speeds through corners and brake so late, that even Daniel Ricciardo would be jealous.

But if you don't mind this, you don't want to get max points in everything, you just want to have fun with Bikes, than this is by far the best game you can get, even with Ride 5 being out

I find it funny seeing all the people giving negative reviews because they claim the handling and steering are near impossible to learn. I don't think these people know how to ride a motorcycle or even know the basics. When you figure out that the "steering" in this game is actually just shifting your body weight to account for a higher lean angle, the game becomes much easier. Don't be the guy who leaves a negative review because you can't understand the physics of a motorcycle and expect this to be another car racing game because, at the end of the day, it's maybe the best moto game on the current market, even with "Ride 5" being released.

This game is difficult as shit until you fall into the rhythm of it. Requires a bit more precision than I expected, even on "easy" mode. It's a challenge, but a fun one

(10 hours on steam for ride 4, but ive sunk over 1000 hours into every other ride game) NOT for beginner gamer racers, however i found with all the assists turned on this game is quite tolerable even for my almost 50 year old mom, on a slower bike of course. I love the arsenal of bikes, upgrade system feels easy. i will forever return to this game just to get that RUSH..... and maybe remind myself how easy it actually is to eat asphalt in the real world.
. ride safe everyone, and have fun.
P.S sorry i was not more informative, will need to sink more hours into this ons
