“Couldn't even get past the start screen 🤷♂️ also, the game kept launching with 'squished' visuals.”
“Bad graphics even on best setting.”
“Playing this on a Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos version) and I'm experiencing low frame rate, low draw distance, and flickering graphics (specifically trees) on ultra with the highest resolution.”
Riptide GP Renegade PS4 Review
Without ever being spectacular, Riptide GP(R) provides a good value, highly enjoyable water-based racing experience that doesn’t outstay its welcome.

When it comes down to it, Riptide GP: Renegade is not a significant step up from its predecessors, despite the developer's PR rumblings. It is, however, a flashier, more content heavy upgrade with a lot to get stuck into, whether you favour single-player or multiplayer. While there are some obvious flaws holding it back, such as the lack of interesting varied tracks, if taken at face value, Renegade packs a big punch for its price point. This is not a Wave Race-like classic, but it has potential.
