In the end, Ride 4 is the type of game that offers up something for everyone and is the type of motorcycle racing title that can grab my interest for hours on end. Being as it’s sort of the Gran Turismo of motorcycle games, it might be the title that can do just that for you as well.

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 lots of new modes and content, but the same technical issues with graphics and IA.

If you have a PS5 or Xbox Series X, there’s never been a better time to play RIDE 4. It’s a challenging racer that may drive you up the wall at times, but it’s so rewarding when you finally tame the bikes in your garage and start being able to truly compete. It’s just a shame that, since its last-gen launch last October, nothing has been done to bolster its online offerings or make it a little bit easier for new players to get onboard. Still, the best bike-based racing game has assuredly just got better. If you love bikes, you need RIDE 4; it’s as simple as that.

RIDE 4 is the best-looking bike-based racing game yet, and the visuals are backed-up by handling and physics that have been noticeably fine-tuned. This is about as good as it gets for those who like donning virtual leather and tearing up a track on just two wheels, providing they’re not too fussed about human competition.

Ride 4 offers a tonne of content for those who itching for a deep dive into an expansive career mode. Race all across the world by winning licenses to open up access into better and more advanced events. Gain affinity with various bikes and manufacturers on the way to becoming the greatest rider. However, a weak online mode, a lack of other real features outside of the career mode and having a steep learning curve for beginners prevents Ride 4 from being the complete package. With plenty of bikes on offer, and upgrades on both the 'stock' and 'racing' side of things to allow for vast improvements over the troublesome AI, this is one of the better digital biking experiences out there.

Ride 4 is definitely a niche game, not only because of the theme, but because of the level of technical demands it proposes. Visually, one of the best of its kind, it brings a lot of content for lovers of the two wheels, but with a flawed artificial intelligence and a cruel learning curve, it is recommended only for specialists, or at least, for the most patient.

Another typical racing game from Milestone, with rich content, but without bigger news.

If you’re completely new to the series, the learning curve can be steep but for veterans, RIDE 4 exemplifies simulation with deep fine-tuning and modification options.

The development team at Milestone did their best to give Ride 4 a fresh look and save it from being repetitive, and they didn't fail. If you are a fan and looking for a good Motorbike game to play in 2020, Ride 4 is not a bad choice.

Milestone's newest game is as good as Ride 3! There are a lot of good features and elements in Ride 4. Motorcycles models, customization, multiple of vehicles, challenging handling and etc make Ride 4 a good game. With all these good aspects, the game is not perfect yet because of some gameplay and technical issues that may be bother you. By the way if you like to control a motorcycle and race with it, you can enjoy Ride 4 and accept some of its problems.

Ultimately, Ride 4 is a rare beast: a motorcycle racing game with the potential for mass appeal and difficulty that is open to all. Personally, while I am a fan of racing games in general, I have always struggled with vehicles of the two-wheeled variety. They have been so unforgiving and can be quite isolating, requiring far too much effort for the casual gamer. Not with Ride 4 though. This is a genuinely fun and well-crafted racer with the potential for immense longevity, both in single player and multiplayer. As motorcycle racing games go, this very well might be the best I have ever played.

Ride 4 is an incredibly detailed racing game that will have motorcycle enthusiasts very pleased. Not being too interested in motorcycles myself, I’ve enjoyed learning how to race on them in this game. The difficulty of the game despite the racing assists is a bit too high for my liking, and it would have benefited from having some form of tutorial race to practice on before tackling real races. The graphics are extremely impressive and despite the difficulty, I can feel my skills getting better. I just wish I could at least finish the first cup and unlock more of the game.

This racing simulator isn't for the faint at heart. Without any real introduction or soft landing, you're expected to drive like a pro and be able to drive near-perfect laps. Without that, you're locked out of the main course, the career mode, and have to resort to riding single tracks. AI is hit-or-miss and races very aggressively. Definitely not a game for beginners or those looking for an arcade racer.

The hardcore racing simulation offers fans just the right content monster for the next few months. With the next-gen features and upgraded graphics, it's a great way to pass the time!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
