After getting acquainted with Tour de France 2024 you will stop cursing EA and other sports sim developers. Because the work of Cyanide Studio is the apotheosis of stagnation.

Tour de France 2024 is a fun cycling experience that is hard to master. It takes patience to prepare well for a race and decide when it’s the right time to force the pace or attack. Sure, players can pick real-world teams featuring the best riders if they want to dominate competitions. But I had much more fun as the underdog, exploiting opportunities and celebrating third places.
Tour de France 2024 continues to evolve everything that previous versions presented, and it knows well that investing in the race management system is what makes it different from other sports simulators. Too bad this is exactly what takes the fun out of the game for anyone who isn't an ardent fan of the sport in the real world.

The gameplay of Tour de France 2024 is engaging, especially for road cycling fans. However, it's almost identical to its predecessor and technically outdated in graphics, animations, and basic physics, with issues like invisible walls. Various glitches, including game freezes, also detract from the experience. Due to these issues, it's hard to recommend the game to anyone other than hardcore cycling enthusiasts.

Tour De France 2024 is yet another yearly installment of Nacon’s racing/managing franchise, based on the most notable cycling event of the year. A rather poor presentation, handling and physics make the actual act of riding not a particularly exciting one, though the pretty deep strategic options given by the peloton racing make for a compelling and unusual racing experience that’s worth a try. Proper multiplayer is finally present as well, albeit limited to 6 players, making this the best entry point to the series thus far. I also feel that such a level of micromanaging only truly caters to big fans of this discipline, whereas newcomers will find an otherwise rather poor racer where managing energy levels is far more important than… well, riding well. Tour De France 2024 isn’t for everyone, and it feels somewhat poorly made in a lot of areas, but it’s still an interesting game for cycling fans who, especially on console, don’t have a lot to pick from anyway.
For veterans of this series of games, no doubt it will be much more of the same for you ultimately and whilst the online multiplayer is limited with only 6 of you competing, it is a great start at building in competitive play with real life players. There is a potential for tens if not hundreds of hours of gameplay here depending on how you enjoy the game and what you want to gain from it ultimately. On consoles though, you aren’t going to find a better competitive cycling game than one that is dedicated to the biggest event on the planet in this field. Tour De France 2024 is a solid entry and worth a look at.
