RIDE 5 Reviews

The game is so much fun, anyone into motorcycles will enjoy the vast collection, the tracks, and the gameplay. The gameplay is not realistic, but it's also not arcade like. It's an enjoyable game with tons of replay value.

quintessential Motorbike track-day/racing simulator. The revamped physics from Ride 4 is much welcome with the new added weight making lap-times more closer to what the pros are doing on track. It would have been nicer if they updated tracks and released new bikes which has stopped in the past 4 months. Also braking in the new game is pretty hard. 8.5 out of 10.

Realistic graphics, dynamics, and gameplay. Absolutely love it!

I think this game is a huge improvement over Ride 4. As a casual player I mostly want to be able to unlock bikes without dedicating my life to a video game, but still have some play through challenge. But primarily it needs to be fun. It is. The graphics, bike details, and track details are great. Honestly once I heard the fairly accurate sound of my beloved Aprilia Tuono V4 I was sold.

Honestly it's pretty good, and feels overall more fleshed out than that of Ride 4

great game! great graphics, great game play, the development is absolutely phenomenal.

There's something wrong or off with this game. You don't feel in control and connected with the motorcycle like car sims make you feel you are. And this comes from someone that rides a motorcycle everyday. This just feels wrong.

OK so this game could be better, but it's not terrible at all. RIDE 4 is the same. I'm recommending to buy latest version (RIDE 4) instead of this cus' it's cheaper, game have the same physics as RIDE 5 and you also can earn more money and earn them faster. Next thing I wanna say is that the game have same models of bikes. There's like 5 or 6 new models of bikes (2023) and in game there's no 300cc bikes. And the last words I wanna say is that there are too much bikes or tracks paid for real money. So if you already own RIDE 4 than buying this is useless for you. GAME RATING 6/10: NOT GREAT NOT TERRIBLE

It's less of the same. Same tracks, fewer bikes, less customisation, but slightly better visuals. Ride 3 was really the pinnacle of the series. Stick with that rather than sink a load of your cash into this one.

Physics are disappointingly worse than Ride4. While you get a littler sharper nuances in threshold braking, other things are very different for the worse. Worst of all by far is absence of rear steering with the throttle, which combined with the artificial cap on lean angle means you're limited in corners to a specific understeering speed limit, which you can ride with that slightly sharper front feel but nowhere near the flexibility of Ride4. Also lesser, the wheelie animation which is technically better, but harder to gauge, which makes no sense if we're simulating how much you would really sense the wheel coming up in reality. Likewise the overall helmet-camera's feeling and animation is very different and clearly less sensible than Ride4's where you could tell exactly what the bike is doing. The campaign is linear and sorta cringe. Why bother with windowdressing a lesser substance... The bikes are basically copy pastes from ride4 except some new models that seem to not have made the cut for R4, and a few models that came out since. You're still locked out of your controls during the race countdown: can't change electronics nor skip the countdown animation to change your riding camera. The graphics are slightly better but in some ways worse for no reason... Some weird shader or texture or material choices make e.g. the headlights of bikes (which you're supposed to oggle) have a totally dated look that's worse than Ride4's. The AI is recklessly and unimmersively aggressive and makes races like bumper car races. The fall physics have been revised to be way more forgiving, disproportionately with how unforgiving e.g. lowsiding with the front brake, which really seems like a way to allow the AI to be more aggressive in spite of its ineptitude at actually riding like humans would: not 5 wide into a corner and not ramming into the back of others, etc. Definite positives that still aren't enough to outweigh the unpleasant feel of the physics as above: new tracks. By far biggest positive is being able to define races, championships, and most of all choosing opponents and their rides, which together with the absence of Ride4's reverse-rubber banding (AI doesnt just hold back throttle down the straights anymore) is much better.
