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.

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

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

Well worth buying this game on sale now that Ride 5 is available.
Note that this game is quite difficult and unless you are naturally skilled you may find the career progression tests frustrating.
Looking at the steam achievements my guess is that at least 75% of players quit the game in under four hours of play, never to return.
Leaving the career aside there are a tonne of bikes and tracks that you can have fun with doing single races against the AI or just running time trials.
Overall good game.

I'm new to the genre and even at 25% AI difficulty it's challenging—but in a good way. The multiplayer is a standout: welcoming community, awesome bike variety, and fantastic sound design. Picked it up on sale, and it's definitely been worth it.

Ride 4 is an overall good game. Good graphics, nice physics and a huge amount of races in career mode. However, before buying this game, there are some things that have to be taken into consideration:
First of all, this game is NOT beginner friendly. Ideally, you have some experience in bike games. It is a "hard to learn, hard to master" type game. Once you´ve learned it, its pretty fun though.
The AI is often reckless asf and will just run you over sometimes, which is ESPECIALLY annoying when you are in your fifth round on the last turn. I also saw the AI take turns on medium-hard difficulty which where, in my experience, impossible to even do with the rider physics.
The grind in career mode is hard. You WILL fail a lot of times for said reasons, you have to be dedicated.
However. if career mode isnt for you, you can still do time trials or single races. The only problem is that for racing your favorite bike, you will have to earn credits which you can only get from very hard weekly challenges or career mode.
Aside from these things, it is an overall good racing game once you have mastered it. I am 70 hours into the game and not even halfway through the availabe content.
