  • The open-world environments and various game modes provide a lot of content and replayability.
  • The physics can feel floaty and unrealistic, making it difficult to control the bike effectively.

  • graphics100 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the visuals as a significant improvement over previous titles in the series, showcasing beautiful textures and environments. However, some players criticize the graphics as outdated or subpar for a 2018 release, noting issues like pop-in and limited graphical options. Overall, while the graphics are generally considered good, they fall short of modern standards and expectations for a game at this price point.

    • “The tracks are awesome and the graphics are amazing.”
    • “Great graphics and physics.”
    • “Beautiful graphics; when customizing bikes/riders, it will blow you away on how beautiful the textures look.”
    • “The graphics fall short by about a mile compared to even MX vs ATV Reflex, which is about 10 years old. The textures for the tracks are laughably bad, and the only thing that maybe looks decent are the bikes themselves.”
    • “Big disappointment, the graphics are very mediocre and for the price of the game, it's not worth it. The sounds are beyond bad. I bought MX vs ATV Reflex for $5 on sale and I'm much more satisfied with that purchase than this one, even though this is a brand new game and years newer than Reflex.”
    • “Just don't bother, the graphics are terrible. It feels like a 2009 game even on ultra. The feel of the bikes just isn't there. Everything about it feels wrong, almost like the developers just didn't bother.”
  • gameplay63 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it fun and engaging, particularly praising its unique mechanics and arcade-style elements, while others criticize it for being unpolished, buggy, and overly simplistic. Many users noted issues with controls, especially for keyboard users, and expressed frustration with the game's physics and responsiveness. Overall, while some players appreciate the potential for enjoyable gameplay after overcoming initial learning curves, others feel it falls short of expectations, particularly for those seeking a more realistic racing experience.

    • “In terms of game mechanics, it's very unique to me as a racing game because there's interactions with hills and airtime in a way I haven't seen in other games, which can be micromanaged through the way you tilt and turn your vehicle.”
    • “The gameplay is fluid and the controls are easy; ground physics are very nice after the update.”
    • “The bikes feel fast and responsive, gameplay is challenging yet forgiving; this is a really fun action sports title.”
    • “The gameplay feels broken at worst and overly arcadey at best.”
    • “The gameplay is terrible; it's like they just took everything bad from the last games in the series and threw it into this game, rather than taking the good parts.”
    • “This game feels like a wonky mess; the mechanics are terrible and it feels slow.”
  • music28 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the variety of genres like hard rock and punk, while others criticize the soundtrack as repetitive and lacking customization options. Many users express a desire for different musical styles, particularly favoring metal over dubstep, and some find the overall sound design lacking. Overall, while there are positive notes about the music, the consensus leans towards disappointment with the soundtrack's limitations and quality.

    • “Very much a game you could just listen to music and ride around on the standard map.”
    • “Music and sound are great: hard rock, metal, techno it got it all and the bike sounds authentic.”
    • “These games always have good soundtracks, always hooking me up with a few new bands to overplay.”
    • “Looks pretty good, terrible soundtracks!!”
    • “Fun game but kinda stupid how you can flip the bike so easily and the music sucks unless you like dubstep but I would prefer it have metal instead of this goofy music.”
    • “The soundtrack is just plain stupid.”
  • optimization23 mentions

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players reporting smooth performance on high-end PCs, while others experience significant lag and unoptimized graphics, particularly on lower-end systems. Although there have been improvements through patches, many users still find the game lacking in graphical options and overall performance, with issues like pop-in and poor sound quality persisting. Overall, while some players see potential for future enhancements, the current state of optimization leaves much to be desired.

    • “It looks great on my PC and runs smoothly.”
    • “Performance-wise, it runs excellent for me on Windows 10 Pro with a GTX 1080.”
    • “Optimized really well for PC.”
    • “There's lots of pop-in, unoptimized performance, bikes sound like weed whackers, free roam areas are very empty and lacking in content.”
    • “Performance: I imagine with future updates, it will get better but right now some maps lag, and for some PCs, certain graphic settings lag.”
    • “This game needs optimization.”
  • stability20 mentions

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players noting persistent bugs and glitches, particularly in online racing and physics. While some users report significant improvements since the initial release, issues like system freezes on certain platforms and erratic AI behavior remain prevalent. Overall, despite these stability concerns, players still find the game enjoyable and appreciate the developers' ongoing efforts to address the problems.

    • “Looks great and runs great.”
    • “Game runs great and feels great.”
    • “The online racing is very buggy and not really worth much note.”
    • “I'm on Linux using Steam Proton, and after about 20 minutes in on max graphics settings, my whole system freezes, and it only happens with this game.”
    • “The physics are all messed up, the ragdoll effect is a joke, there are glitches everywhere.”
  • monetization9 mentions

    The monetization in the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with many players expressing disappointment over the prevalence of microtransactions disguised as unlockables. Despite enjoying the gameplay, reviewers feel that the aggressive monetization strategy detracts significantly from the overall experience, especially given the lack of brand representation and the release of paid content shortly after launch.

    • “The microtransactions suck, but other than that, the game is fun and the racing is awesome as well.”
    • “The real kicker, though, is the absolutely atrocious monetization.”
    • “I enjoyed playing it well enough, but what I thought were unlockables were all microtransactions.”
    • “Overall, this game was an over-hyped cash grab, huge disappointment.”
  • story4 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for being lackluster, with a linear series of races that do not provide enough engaging missions or a compelling narrative. Players appreciate the absence of a convoluted storyline, but overall, the story mode feels underdeveloped.

    • “Not enough missions or anything.”
    • “Lackluster story mode (linear series of races).”
    • “However, off-road races are another story altogether.”
  • humor3 mentions

    The humor in the game is highlighted as very funny, with players finding amusement in its unexpected similarities to a Mario Kart game despite being labeled a "simulator." The entertaining variety and ongoing support for the game help players overlook minor bugs, such as comical collisions and improbable tricks, contributing to its overall charm.

    • “To me, it seems hilarious that this game is tagged as a 'simulator' as it seriously feels more akin to a Mario Kart game.”
    • “The fact that this game is still being supported and offers a ton of variety and entertainment is enough for me to forgive some of the silly bugs that happen sometimes (think collisions with treetops doing funny stuff, or landing a trick you know you shouldn't have).”
  • replayability3 mentions

    Players express a desire for more diverse game modes and custom options to enhance replayability, suggesting that current offerings are limited. While a recent optimization update has improved playability slightly, it still falls short of making the game highly recommendable for replay value.

    • “The game offers a variety of modes beyond just events, such as tag, cat and mouse, horse, bomb tag, and capture the flag. Custom game modes and a track editor would greatly enhance replay value.”
    • “The replay value is impressive, with numerous options to keep players engaged.”
    • “After the recent optimization update, the game feels more playable, adding to its overall replayability.”
    • “We need game modes beyond just events like tag, cat and mouse, horse, bomb tag, capture flags, etc. Custom game modes and a track editor would greatly enhance replay value.”
    • “After the recent update, it's very hard to recommend this game. While the optimization made it slightly more playable, the lack of replayability remains a significant issue.”
    • “The replay value is severely lacking.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is not particularly impactful, as the graphics are decent but not moving, and the gameplay experience focuses more on the thrill of racing rather than evoking deep feelings.

  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious and unnecessary, suggesting that a more efficient menu system could have streamlined the experience.

    • “It's tedious and unnecessary when a simple menu could have done the job more efficiently.”
    • “The grinding feels like a chore rather than an engaging part of the game.”
    • “I spent hours grinding for resources, only to realize it didn't significantly impact my progress.”
