    The gameplay of this title has received mixed reviews, with many players praising the depth and potential of its mechanics while also highlighting significant frustrations. While some enjoy the challenging and rewarding nature of the trick system, others criticize the awkward physics, unrefined mechanics, and steep learning curve that can make the experience feel tedious and unsatisfying. Overall, the game shows promise but requires further refinement to enhance the overall gameplay experience.

    • “With its addictive gameplay and promising foundation, it's easy to see why it's worth giving a try.”
    • “The gameplay is very good.”
    • “Once you get a feel for the new gameplay, it is an absolute blast.”
    • “The core mechanics are not really explained, so you never know if it's a mechanic that is poorly designed or misunderstood by the player.”
    • “The overall gameplay is so stiff, overcomplicated, and unnatural it's not even funny.”
    • “The camera system is not good, the game looks quite unfinished, and the gameplay is not satisfying; the map looks and feels empty, boring, and bland, not to mention its price.”
  • stability109 mentions

    The game is widely criticized for its numerous bugs and glitches, which significantly impact gameplay and overall enjoyment. Many players express disappointment, feeling that the game feels unfinished and unpolished, with issues ranging from physics inconsistencies to performance problems. While some acknowledge the game's potential and fun aspects, the consensus is that it requires substantial updates and fixes to reach a satisfactory level of stability.

    • “Don’t listen to all the hate comments, it feels great and runs great even on my laptop.”
    • “Ignore negative reviews; the game runs great even on low-end PCs. Physics feel great and make for way more creativity than was ever possible in pipe. Money well spent, highly recommended.”
    • “Honest opinion: it is an $80 NZD game. I personally am glad I spent every penny on this game. I really love it; I've played about 400 hours on pipe and have been waiting for 5 years. The game runs great, tricks 10/10, and it's worth the $80 NZD in my opinion.”
    • “Considering this buggy mess of a BMX sim was what we waited years for, I am thoroughly disappointed with the progress and functionality of the game.”
    • “The game is buggy, the developers left the game in the dust; if they want a game to be popular, they would update it more and fix bugs. In real life, you wouldn't be able to wall ride a rail; the game just needs more updates, not to be left after one month of release.”
    • “Game is extremely buggy and you should lower your prices as this isn't worth the $50 you may get; more customers would come if it were better optimized.”
  • story71 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with many players expressing disappointment over the lack of a narrative or campaign mode, instead encountering a series of challenging missions scattered across a vast but empty map. While some enjoy the difficulty and customization options, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game feels incomplete without a cohesive storyline, leading to frustration with the mission structure and mechanics. Overall, players suggest that the game could benefit significantly from a more engaging narrative to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Work in progress but if you know the story behind it then you know it's a masterpiece.”
    • “Challenges are fine but a story would have been great.”
    • “No storyline or anything as such.”
    • “I wish it had a 'story' mode and wasn't just an open world full of random challenges.”
    • “I think the lack of a campaign/story takes away a lot of value.”
  • graphics62 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the detailed bike customization and vibrant visuals, while others criticize performance issues and graphical glitches, particularly at high speeds. Some players find the graphics to be a significant improvement over previous titles like "Pipe," though they note that certain textures and assets appear unfinished or lack detail. Overall, while the game showcases beautiful graphics and immersive environments, it suffers from optimization problems that detract from the experience.

    • “The graphics are crazy and the game overall is addicting.”
    • “Developed by Mash Games, this title delivers an exhilarating experience that seamlessly blends challenging gameplay with stunning visuals, immersing players in the vibrant world of street BMX riding.”
    • “One of the first things you'll notice about BMX Streets is its breathtaking visuals.”
    • “Refunded because the physics are horrid, the game is overpriced, and the map is huge. Grinding barely works, there's no tricks, and the graphics are bad. There's a weird blurriness with DLSS, and if you don't have a powerful PC, you'll see that this game looks dated even at max settings.”
    • “About half the game feels graphically nearly there, but some assets really lack, like flat trees and a lot of anti-aliasing issues near the docks, leading to graphical glitches and extreme flashing of flags and thin objects in that area, despite having no performance issues.”
    • “The world doesn't feel realistic; textures and visuals aren't great, and sadly, it's an empty city.”
  • optimization24 mentions

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant performance issues, including stuttering and fluctuating frame rates, particularly on lower-end hardware. While multiplayer performance is generally praised, many users feel the game lacks polish and proper testing, leading to graphical glitches and a subpar experience overall. Despite some players reporting smooth performance on high-end systems, the consensus is that the game is not worth its price due to these optimization shortcomings.

    • “The game is pretty well optimized overall.”
    • “However, the performance in multiplayer is fantastic so far despite me thinking that it would have lowered FPS.”
    • “No performance issues or crashes at all.”
    • “It's seems like the game was rushed to release without proper testing and optimization.”
    • “Mash world is practically unplayable for me because of the stuttering and framerate issues.”
    • “Even on great hardware (3070/i7) it's unplayable with 20-40fps (fluctuates, makes it even worse) and no settings relieve this performance issue.”
  • grinding22 mentions

    The grinding mechanics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many players finding them frustratingly inconsistent and difficult to master. Issues such as misplaced suction points, awkward physics, and challenging challenges contribute to a sense of dissatisfaction, while some players appreciate the potential for skillful maneuvers. Overall, while grinding can be enjoyable, it often feels janky and underdeveloped, leading to a tedious experience for many users.

    • “To begin, there are some ledges where the 'suction' that pulls you into the grinding position is entirely misplaced, making grinding certain ledges near impossible. For example, in the mcmansion challenge, the task is to grind 25 meters of the ledge and get 500 points while also fitting in a bar spin and a whopper.”
    • “I know I'm only 25 minutes into this game, but I can barely complete these challenges. When I try to go down a bank, I somehow start grinding a sloped bank, which should be impossible, or I immediately do a 90 off the bank even though I'm pointing straight. I can barely get the speed I need to perform tricks.”
    • “The grinding feels too finicky to get right compared to other games. The mechanics are janky, like leaning at a 45-degree angle while grinding flat ground and not falling over, which is frustrating.”
  • humor9 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by clever brand names and amusing glitches, which players find entertaining despite the game's unfinished and wonky nature. Many enjoy the comedic moments, such as characters tumbling and the absurdity of certain gameplay elements, though some feel that the novelty wears off after repeated experiences. Overall, the humor adds a lighthearted touch to the gameplay, making it a memorable aspect for many players.

    • “The funny brand names are clever and amusing.”
    • “It can be a little funky when it comes to glitches, but so was the skate series; I just find it hilarious.”
    • “This was quite the funny experience watching the character tumble forever.”
  • replayability7 mentions

    Players express mixed feelings about the game's replayability, highlighting the potential for a vibrant modding community that could enhance longevity. While some appreciate the deep gameplay mechanics, others find the current state of the game frustrating due to bugs and difficulty in executing moves, leading to a less enjoyable experience. Overall, there is hope for improvement through updates and community contributions, but many feel the game currently lacks the replay value they anticipated.

    • “Modded maps are already popping up, so it seems like there will be a big community around this game and a lot of replayability down the line.”
    • “Whether you're a seasoned BMX enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, BMX Streets offers something for everyone, with its deep gameplay mechanics and endless replay value.”
    • “(edit: 55 hours into the game, I can say I'm starting to regret deleting Pipe because it was honestly more fun than this game. The transition stuff in this game is so much better, but doing simple things like spins into grinds or certain grinds is so much harder because you have to land very specifically to make it work. Half the time I can't get the right grind input, which I think is partially my fault, but it's definitely too difficult for me to enjoy the game when I can never flow around a park or map without bailing. The game starts to get so buggy with a ton of lag, and I have a pretty good PC and never had an issue with any other game. This only applies to certain parts of the map. I'm still happier to have the game than not have it, but it is very disappointing, and until it is made better, it is definitely no replacement for their previous game which is more playable overall.)”
    • “Session is a far better skate game, with far more possibilities and replayability.”
  • monetization6 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game is perceived as a quick cash grab, with players expressing concerns about a lack of ongoing support and updates. While some players appreciate the potential of the game and its execution, they feel that the absence of engaging content and community features undermines its value, leading to a sense of neglect and disappointment.

    • “Clearly a quick cash grab.”
    • “And they have no intentions of ever updating it and they never will because they are on their next cash grab vacation pay called BMX Streets 2.”
    • “Feels like a cash grab.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in the game is generally considered lackluster, with many players opting to turn it off, and the default volume set to zero adds to the issue. While the soundtrack does not enhance the experience, it does not significantly detract from the overall gameplay. Improvements such as a better soundtrack and customizable audio options are suggested for future updates.

    • “Consolidating the options menus, a good soundtrack, and the ability to make a custom character would all be solid things to add but don't detract from the game today.”
    • “- For some reason, the music volume is set to 0 by default.”
    • “The soundtrack is just something you'll turn off.”
    • “For some reason, the music volume is set to 0 by default.”
  • atmosphere4 mentions

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its authentic and immersive design, with meticulous attention to detail in both gritty streets and urban landscapes, earning a perfect score of 10/10.

    • “From the gritty streets to the sprawling urban landscapes, every detail is meticulously crafted, creating an atmosphere that feels both authentic and immersive.”

    • “Tldr: only buy this game if you have the money and are really interested in this whole atmosphere of the game.”
    • “The atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking the depth needed to immerse players in the game world.”
    • “Despite the potential for a rich environment, the atmosphere is disappointingly bland and fails to evoke any real emotion.”
    • “The game’s atmosphere is underwhelming, making it hard to stay engaged or feel connected to the story.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by unexpected moments of spontaneity, such as performing random flips without player input, which can evoke surprise and amusement. This unpredictability adds a layer of emotional engagement, as players experience a mix of joy and confusion during gameplay.

  • character development1 mentions

    Users express a desire for enhanced character development features, specifically a custom character designer and an object dropper, indicating that these additions could significantly enrich the gameplay experience.

    • “While not promised or planned, I would love to see a custom character designer and object dropper natively put into the game.”
