Reviewers suggest that the game's replayability could be enhanced by reintroducing classic races from previous editions, as the absence of familiar challenges like mountain races has diminished variety. There is a hope that the developers will take this feedback into account for future releases.
“I think a game series that releases yearly like this one could benefit greatly from continually bringing back races from older years to bolster its variety and replayability. I hope Cyanide takes note of this because I subtly missed racing up mountains like Ventoux in this year's edition.”
