Monster Energy Supercross 5 Reviews
Despite a steep learning curve, Monster Energy Supercross 5 manages to offer a satisfying experience even for players new to the genre. While some of the extras like the skill trees don't always stick the landing, it's a polished and well-crafted experience that's likely to please both hardcore and casual Supercross fans alike.
The most approachable this series has ever been, Monster Energy Supercross 5 is much kinder to newcomers while offering plenty of new content to please returning players. There’s still room for improvement but this game is the best Monster Energy Supercross title so far.
In short, MES 5 gathers the condiments needed for great supercross races, with good feelings on the bikes. It still doesn't seem to us the game capable of operating the generational jump, nor does it get a complete jump from any of the four games in the series.

Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Game 5 has some great improvements over the past games Milestone has released, but they still have a long way to go to make a staple of a game for the Supercross/Motocross fans. Other than that, it’s a fun game to pick up if you’re a fan of the sport and want to do some easy drop-in drop-out online racing.
While not introducing many new features compared to the fourth chapter, Monster Energy Supercross 5 reconfirms the good qualities seen in the past: a lot of fun and content that will satisfy the most hardened Supercross fans. Despite a visual component that could be improved, Milestone has worked more than satisfactorily on the physics section, setting a gameplay that is never trivial and accessible to everyone. In the future we wouldn't mind seeing a bit more, but until then the Supercross niche can still sleep easy and enjoy a title that meets their expectations.

Monster Energy Supercross 5 is a good driving title based on this sport, thanks to its multiple customization options and gameplay. Very complete both for single player and in its multiplayer facet.

If this were a preview of an upcoming game then I would be saying I’m excited to see what the team achieve with the final product, but Monster Energy Supercross 5 left me conflicted
Even if I consider this the next installment in the series and the title doesn't stand up as a sequel, since not much has changed, I rate it as a standalone work. The artificial intelligence of the riders is at a lousy level which is an unforgivable flaw. However, this is balanced by the possibilities that are in the game. In particular, I was most pleased with the track editor. Despite the shortcomings, this is still an excellent motocross game with much to offer. Unfortunately, it has to let go of the fact that it is fun after all.

Much of this was already applicable to the predecessors of this fifth part, so there are question marks about this annual update. If you don't necessarily need to have the latest team updates and racer names, you can also work with one of the earlier parts. This fifth part is therefore especially a must for the die hard fans.
