Ride 4 Reviews
Ride 4 shows a lot of passion for motorsports and the bikes but not for the game itself. A solid technical performance is shattered by a useless AI. Ride 4 might be the best choice for a motorbike simulation on consoles - but just because any competition is missing.

Ride 4 is the motorcycle equivalent to Gran Turismo, for better or worse. It features a lot of content, every single kind of motorbike you can imagine, from Harleys to Ducatis, tons of racetracks, and lots of different events to partake in. When it comes to bang for your buck, it sure delivers. But when it comes to being actually fun to play, it misses the mark.
Robust customization options and solid gameplay mechanics ensure it's definitely a game worth coming back to again and again, in spite of some flaws that hold it back from being the ultimate biking experience.
Ride 4 has enough elements to continue pleasing its fans, with new features that could take it to another level. But the evolution in presentation, graphics and many other aspects is insufficient when what really matters, the racing, has suffered a downgrade.
Ride 4 is a simulator with all the letters, with capital letters and you will like it no matter how many times it mistreats you.

A deeply customizable driving experience, good technical production values and some welcome additions like endurance races and dynamic weather and day/night cycle make RIDE 4 one of the best moto racers around, even if some flaws and a reduced bikes list keep it from reaching higher spots.

I salivate over great racing title’s, Forza being one of my favourite franchises of all time, but the Ride series has proven that it has a place among the very best within it’s respected genre.
Ride 4 is a truly enjoyable motocross simulation with plenty of unique race types and a wide variety of laps and motorcycles. However, the overall difficulty and autopilot could use some adjustments.

A series that is confirmed as a monument in honor of motorcycling. RIde 4 aims at total identification with a pilot on two wheels. The player has the opportunity to ride numerous types of vehicles in circuits all over the world made in great detail. Hard, cynical and merciless: we are facing the maximum expression of simulation on two wheels.

Milestone offers us a new installment of its famous simulator, this time with more realism than ever thanks to its new mechanics. With more than 120 motorcycles and 27 circuits, this is the most complete installment of the saga, although it is scarce in game modes and its learning curve is quite hard.

I can appreciate the level of detail here, even if I don't fully understand it. This isn't a game for me, but it may still be a game for you if you're into the thrill of simulated racing.
Being a newcomer to the series, I like what I’ve seen here, but hope that Milestone can be a little more forgiving next time around and make the game a little easier to fall in love with. I wanted to fall head over heels for RIDE 4, but instead I had to be content with settling for a middle ground.
Ride 4 is definitely the best game of the franchise but also one of the best motorbike simulation racing games we have seen until today.

All in all, RIDE 4 is a jack of all trades, one where, however, neither element shines for originality or extreme polish. The driving model is satifying enough and finds a good balance between arcade and simulation, the customization options are notable, there’s plenty of content both for single player and online modes, and the title looks fairly good too. It does lack a driving factor, a unique aspect that makes RIDE 4 something more than a competent and fun racing game, turning it into an unmissable experience. Fans of the 2-wheel races will certainly find the adrenaline they seek, but those looking for the next big thing or the first taste of next-gen can safely drift somewhere else.
Ride 4 is very complex motorbike racing game with lot of content and dynamic weather and day/time system. But riding system is bit odd, AI is very limited and game is also in some moments too difficult.

If you’re a Ride addict then know that the next-gen version of Ride 4 will be fine after a patch or two, but for now you don’t need to race out and get it.
ide 4 is not the must-own motorcycle racing game for your brand new PS5 due to its high barrier of entry and non-user friendly systems. The PS5 upgrades might be appreciated by returning fans of the last-gen version, but it doesn’t warrant the headache these races induce on the player. From my experience, I was locked out of any fun this game might have offered. As such, I really can’t recommend Ride 4 to anyone.
An outstanding racing game should challenge you, and Ride 4 does more than that. You will scream with joy and rage as you experience the highs and lows of riding on 2 wheels. This is not a title that you will be able to pick up and compete in over night. You must invest many hours in understanding the finer points before you excel. The effort is well rewarded, as you are treated to the most realistic biking game ever. Do I recommend it? Absolutely! If you love an adrenaline boost, racing, or bikes, then buy this game here! Put on your leathers, customise your bike, and set out to become the champion of the world.
Ride 4 is as niche as a game can get and I respect its commitment to providing enthusiasts with the most hardcore of simulated racing experiences. I expect to see fans of the franchise welcome this new entry with open arms, especially if they’re on the PlayStation 5, and dig deep into its features and collection of real-world vehicles.
