The stability of the game is mixed, with some users reporting unplayable controls due to overlaps and hidden features, while others praise the smooth gameplay and ability to maintain momentum on varied terrain. Overall, the game shows potential but suffers from balance issues between vehicle classes, impacting the racing experience.
“Hello, offroad racing ATV x buggy x moto is unplayable; it has control overlaps, hidden controls, and immovable controls.”
“- Unbalanced race classes to compete with (buggy users will indirectly have a slight advantage regarding the race outcome).”
“As far as buggy racing goes, I enjoy Baja: Edge of Control far more.”

The graphics in the game have received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the modern visuals and smooth gameplay, others criticize the lack of updates since the original release, noting issues like noticeable pop-in and a locked framerate. Overall, the graphics are considered decent but not groundbreaking, with some comparisons to older titles highlighting their limitations.
“Jeff Cramond made a game called Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga, and this game captures the feel with modern graphics and a physics engine... I love this game.”
“It's really done well, the graphics are awesome, the gameplay is smooth, and my favorite part is that when you are driving your bike, car, or buggy a little off the road and off terrain, it does not really get hung up anywhere. You are able to keep your momentum going in your direction and still ride on areas that are not 'meant' to be driven on, if you know what I mean.”
“// Fast game with modern-day graphics and easy controls that move from location A to B to C and so on.”
“The tracks, graphics, sounds, music, etc. have not changed since the first game, ATV Drift & Tricks, was released about 5 years ago! They aren't that bad, but Pure [Disney Interactive] did all of those things 100 times better in 2007. I'd give this -100 stars out of ten.”
“On maximum graphics settings, the pop-in is noticeable and happens right in front of you, and the framerate is locked to 62fps, despite unlocking vsync on my 144hz laptop.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews; while some users report poor performance and visual issues, others experience smooth gameplay at high settings on mid-range hardware. Notably, the use of Unreal Engine 4 has been praised for decent visual quality and good optimization, especially in comparison to the Switch version.
“The game runs smoothly on my Ryzen 1600 with a GTX 1060, maintaining a perfect 60 fps with all graphics settings at maximum.”
“Despite being an exact port from the Switch, the game showcases decent visual quality and great optimizations thanks to Unreal Engine 4.”
“Optimization is pretty bad; Cyberpunk on my PC has more FPS, and the VFX turns the image into a mess.”
“As for performance, on my Ryzen 1600 with GTX 1060, it works perfectly at 60 FPS with all graphics settings at max.”

“Merely some adjustments are needed for those who are already familiar with its predecessor's game mechanics.”
“While I will still be on the lookout to find that perfect modern copy of the PS3 arcade racing legend, I'll also gladly return to this game as the next best thing so far with its unique little spin on the gameplay.”

Overall, the music is considered mediocre and fails to impress, with one reviewer expressing extreme dissatisfaction.
“The tracks, graphics, sounds, and music have not changed since the first game, ATV Drift & Tricks, was released five years ago! They aren't that bad, but Pure did all of those things 100 times better in 2007. I'd give this -100 stars out of ten.”
“The music feels outdated and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
“I was really disappointed with the soundtrack; it lacks variety and doesn't match the energy of the gameplay.”
