Overall, the graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality, with many users noting impressive bike detail and a strong sense of speed. However, some criticism is directed at the environments, which are perceived as lacking in comparison to the detailed riders and tracks. While the graphics are considered a significant improvement over previous titles, there are calls for more substantial upgrades rather than minor enhancements.
- “Graphically looks great.”
- “And physics bravo bare none, from a guy who has spent about 35 years on two wheels, the way the bike handles is legit spot on. Graphics seem to have a much better package, light years ahead of any other motorcycle racing game.”
- “Graphics are really nice overall even though environments are lacking compared to the rider and track, which both are great.”
- “There is so much that can be done, and yet Milestone follows EA Madden mode with tiny upgrades here and there. Honestly, the graphics might even look better in MotoGP 22. The only thing that made me buy this is the roster (which could be done in 22 with an update), the sprint, and the variable weather (finally). But still, the commentary is bland and boring.”
- “This game runs as smooth as my oiled-up cheeks, with graphics as buttery as...”
- “Graphics”

Overall, the game's optimization is heavily criticized, with many players experiencing significant stuttering and lag, particularly in career mode and during races with NPCs. While some users report smooth handling and decent frame rates, the persistent performance issues detract from the overall experience, making it nearly unplayable for others.
- “Handling is smooth, well optimized so far.”
- “I’m getting a solid 45-60 fps and no stuttering!”
- “Bikes are very different in their performance.”
- “Career mode is unplayable; the freezing and stuttering, no matter what video settings are enabled, make this a waste of money.”
- “Tldr: overall handling update is great but could use a little adjustment; stuttering during racing makes it almost unplayable with other riders on track.”
- “The biggest problem currently is the stuttering/lag when near any NPC on track.”

The gameplay in MotoGP 21 is praised for its crisp mechanics and realistic AI, making it a top choice for keyboard players, though some users find the new control mechanics challenging to adapt to. While the game offers a solid experience, there are suggestions for further improvements, particularly in career mode and overall gameplay dynamics. Players appreciate the excitement of close racing, especially when mastering throttle control in tight corners.
- “Hard gameplay, MotoGP 21 still has the best gameplay for me as a keyboard player.”
- “The mechanics are much more crisp, and the AI is significantly more realistic.”
- “I'm glad I came back to edit and address this mechanic, because it's very noticeable coming from other titles. I honestly prefer GP22's rendition better on this, but it's not a deal breaker. Just be prepared to see the AI have more speed out of tighter corners, which helps you stay on line if you properly maintain throttle, leading to some exciting tire-to-tire exits.”
- “Control mechanic that definitely needs to be addressed.”
- “I find this new mechanic to be slightly off-putting (mostly because it's new and I'm not used to it) and takes a lot to get used to.”
- “I'm glad I came back to edit and address this mechanic, because it's crazy obvious coming from other titles. I honestly prefer GP22's rendition better on this, but it's not deal-breaking; just be prepared to see the AI have more speed out of tighter corners.”

Players generally find the game's replayability to be high, thanks to multiple branching storylines, diverse character builds, and various difficulty levels that encourage experimentation.
