  • Major improvement from the last game with lots of upgrades and ways to set up your bike.
  • The game looks fantastic, especially from the first-person view, and the sounds enhance the experience.
  • Overall, it's a fun game that can be enjoyable once you get used to the physics and upgrade your character.
  • The AI is frustratingly aggressive and often unrealistic, making it hard to compete even on easy difficulty.
  • Physics are inconsistent, leading to unpredictable bike handling and making the game feel less realistic.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs and crashes, making it unplayable for some users.
  • graphics
    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising their quality and realism, particularly in track details and bike customization. However, some users express disappointment, noting that the graphics have not significantly improved from previous iterations and criticizing the performance on higher settings. Overall, while the visuals are often highlighted as a strong point, they are sometimes overshadowed by complaints about gameplay mechanics and physics.

    • “This is an amazing game; I love the graphics and the game style. It's very addictive.”
    • “The tracks are great, and the graphics are amazing as well.”
    • “The graphics are pretty good, and they did a good job capturing a lot of the details on the bikes, tracks, and gear.”
    • “The graphics on this game are the worst; even on a 3070 at very high settings, it still looks very bad.”
    • “The physics of the bike are horrible, and so are the graphics. I have never returned a game so fast.”
    • “The graphics and sound are significantly worse than in MESX2, in my opinion (they even reused the same announcer sound assets from 2 years ago!).”
  • gameplay
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players citing poor physics, frustrating mechanics, and significant bugs that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate certain features like bike movement and the seat bounce mechanic, the repetitive nature and lack of realism have led to a loss of interest for many. Overall, the game is seen as needing substantial refinement to improve its mechanics and AI, with players expressing disappointment in the prioritization of graphics over gameplay quality.

    • “Definitely the best mechanics that Milestone has had yet in any of their MX games.”
    • “Most of the bugs I have been having have been fixed and the gameplay is much better than MES3 now.”
    • “I think with some refinement in future patches this could be a really cool incentive to do the side 'training' and offer up some unique advantages in the gameplay.”
    • “Unfortunately, the gameplay (and specifically the physics) ruin the whole experience.”
    • “Crappy mechanics, even worse AI, no ruts, sliding along the track, lackluster customization, and the championship is pretty boring.”
    • “The physics get worse and worse with every MX/SX game milestone release; they spent too long on improving the graphics and visuals and not enough tweaking gameplay mechanics and bike physics.”
  • optimization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with players noting that performance issues persist, as some can run higher settings on previous titles but struggle with medium settings here. Additionally, the progression system feels unbalanced, allowing players to quickly acquire performance parts without meaningful effort, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, lackluster audio and mediocre performance hinder the game's potential.

    • “After that, you're just kind of swimming in money and there's no real effort to collect anything for unlocking parts to improve performance.”
    • “What I mean is, you win like 2 races in the futures class and you have basically enough money to buy all the performance parts that actually do anything to the bike.”
    • “[Lackluster audio and mediocre performance hold it back from truly being something special.]”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound design in the game significantly enhance the immersive experience, making players feel as though they are truly participating in a championship event. The combination of stadium music, sound effects, and fireworks contributes to a vibrant and engaging atmosphere.

    • “The sounds, stadium music, and fireworks all add to the experience, making you feel like you're competing in an actual championship.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game series has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, leading to significant disappointment and frustration among players. Many feel that the focus on profit undermines the quality and integrity of the games.

    • “The whole series of games has become a cash grab.”
    • “I'm going to try to keep my disappointment and downright outrage at this cheap cash grab to a reasonable level, but that's going to be very tough to do.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a desire for increased grinding in the game, suggesting that it would extend gameplay and provide a more rewarding experience before acquiring parts. However, some technical issues, such as gamma settings, have also been noted, which may affect overall enjoyment.

    • “The game definitely adds in more grinding to keep you playing longer before you can obtain your parts.”
    • “The grinding feels excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
    • “I found the grinding mechanics to be tedious and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game exhibits some bugs and less realistic physics, typical of an arcade style, but it introduces several new features compared to its predecessor, SX3. Overall, while stability issues are present, they do not significantly detract from the gameplay experience.

    • “I have completed the game, and yes, there are some things that are a bit buggy. The physics aren't going to be as realistic; it's literally an arcade game.”
    • “There are several bugs that affect gameplay, making it frustrating at times.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, which disrupts the overall experience.”
