Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 4 Reviews
Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 4 is a title that will make all fans of the genre happy and still proves to be a good game even for those who want to approach this motorcycle discipline only now, as long as they have the patience to learn the fundamentals of motocross losing many of the first races and struggling a lot, considering the steep learning curve and an excellent AI that certainly does not facilitate easy victories for beginners. A title that doesn’t make significant progress in the franchise, considering the cross-gen nature of the production but which is confirmed on good levels and which certainly deserves to be recommended to those who want an excellent amount of content and that makes good use of the official licenses available with official tracks and motorbikes and an impressive amount of personalization of the riders' uniforms and of the motorcycle components.

Even though the career has been completely redesigned, it doesn't make much sense to nerf all riders before they've left the gate. And though the action on the track is still very solid, there are still plenty of sharp edges that are in need of polish. Especially if you played last year's installment, it may be best to steer clear of this outing.
Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 4 could have been a racing game with some brilliant ideas and a quite fresh career concept, but the overall result is quite opaque. A quite ok motocross game for supercross fan, fun for expert riders while edgy for newcomers, quite improved compared to other entries in the series, but not enough to stand out as a great episode.

Monster Energy Supercross 4 is a racing game with deep sense of rhythm, fun and exhilarating. It might lack significant new features, but it's damn entertaining and its qualities are undeniable.

Monster Energy Supercross 4 is a game seemingly made for die-hard fans of the sport and the simulation series. The sheer depth of customization options, a massive roster, the new skill-point system, and a robust track editor provide several reasons for them to keep coming back for more sessions. Newcomers, however, will first have to spend several hours learning the systems and grinding to earn enough money and points to improve their rider and bike before finding much enjoyment.
Monster Energy Supercross 4 continues Milestones work at crafting finely tuned bike racing games but the jump to the PlayStation 5 isn’t as big visually as I would’ve liked. The better load times and adaptive trigger support were greatly appreciated and the biggest things that separates this from the PlayStation 4 version. The game is still pretty unforgiving for newbies so prepare to fail a lot if this ends up being your first time with this franchise. Fans of the franchise will find quite a lot to enjoy with some refinements to the physics, new skill tree system and career events, along with the track editor and Compound.
In short, Monster Energy Supercross 4 is Milestone’s 4th attempt to bring the world of licensed Supercross onto our consoles, and this iterative upgrade does not fix what isn’t broken, mostly just switching out content and applying minor improvements here and there – a rather frequent sight in days where all development is heavily impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions. It does feature a bit more eye-candy if you’re on Series X or S, but nothing too fancy. It may not be the most spectacular or polished racer ever, but there really aren’t many games like this on the market, with the Italian studio once again delivering a solid enough title for bike fans to keep them busy until the next instalment.
In order to bring the simulation of motorcycle racing to videogames, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 4 values an authentic gameplay that sets the standards of the riding experience, bringing players closer to the realism of motorcycling. Although well intentioned, the title still needs better technical aspects to promote a more effective simulation.

Monster Energy Supercross- The Official Videogame 4 is fun racing game with a bit of a learning curve for the controls, but once you start to pick it up so does the fun.
Monster Energy Supercross 4 is a fairly hardcore title with a steep learning curve, but it doesn't really offer that much to experienced veterans of the MXGP series. It also doesn't really bring anything new to the table and the career mode is badly implemented.

SuperCross 4 takes the prospect of a sport with a fervent fan-base and doubles down on making the gameplay a divisive introduction to the franchise for newcomers. It isn’t quite inside the distinctions of a simulator, but it is the closest this franchise has come yet to that notion. Your mileage may vary in this regard, but the mud and sand covered competition of Monster’s latest installment are ready to test you.
Have you ever wanted to ride on motocross courses set inside of stadiums on some of the fastest bikes in the world? Well, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 4 might be for you.
