Ride 6 is a solid motorbike game that replicates the sensation of piloting a two-wheeled rocket at 150 miles per hour with a solid simulation model that constantly pushed me to improve my lines. But the shader compilation stutters, and high system requirements do put a damper on the experience for PC owners. Not to mention, a lot of new content is being shelled off as DLC, which is a kind of disingenuous.
While the integration of the F1 Movie leaves much to be desired, and F1 World still places a significant emphasis on microtransactions, F1 25 stands out as another solid instalment in Codemasters’ flagship series. It features the best version of Braking Point to date and includes meaningful gameplay additions to My Team. The new LIDAR-scanned tracks offer an exciting glimpse of the fidelity that could be achieved in future entries, and the Career mode remains one of the most robust in the genre. If you’ve always wanted to play a Formula One game, F1 25 is a fantastic place to start.
Fast Fusion doesn’t offer the same amount of content as its predecessor, and the absence of online multiplayer is disappointing. However, it remains a technological tour de force with exhilarating, anti-gravity racing that fills the void left by the absence of F-Zero and Wipeout on modern consoles. Combined with its super-low price point of only $22.50 AUD ($15 USD), Fast Fusion is one of the must-have Switch 2 games for anyone hungry for more racing goodness after clocking Mario Kart World.
