Ride 4

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...

Milestone has been busy making other motorcycle games since 2018's great RIDE 3. Have they applied what they've learned in that time with their latest release? Find out in our RIDE 4 review.

If you are all hot and bothered by the thought of tearing past some United Kingdom pastures at 240+kph on a crotch rocket with the best visuals of any two-wheeled racing game yet, RIDE 4 for PC and next-gen consoles needs to be on your shortlist. While I found the first-person cameras lead me to slower lap times, they were my preferred way to crash the bikes. I’ve still yet to win at the Isle of M...

This may be a spoiler to my conclusion of RIDE 4, but this game has really annoyed me at times. This isn't me saying it's a game without merit, it has positive aspects as well as negative ones. What I'm saying is that I found more elements that I disliked than the ones I liked. What I'm saying is that there are a few large things that made me make certain exclamations at my PC, such as ones that s...

Motorcycle fans will gorge themselves on Ride 4's 250+ obsessively detailed motorcycles and one of the best track lists to be found in a modern racing game, but the pizzaz needed to keep playing is sadly missing and the career gameplay can be duller than counting your own eyebrow hairs.

Milestone is at it again with yet another motorcycle racing game released this year. After the surprisingly robust MotoGP 20, a tough-as-nails yet rewarding racing simulator released earlier on in 2020, they’re back with Ride 4. However, there so many different varieties of motorcycle racing games being released every three months or so. With titles like MX vs. ATV and TT Isle of Man out in the wi...

RIDE 4 claims to be the ultimate racing experience for 2-wheel lovers, featuring hundreds of bikes across decades of racing, loads of tracks and customisation options, all replicated to the finest detail with the most advanced technologies. “Sounds good! Sign me up!” I thought to myself. I’ve played motorbike games before, such as Manx TT on my Saturn and Road Rash for the Megadrive. Sure, it’s be...

For series' veterans, RIDE 4 will be an enjoyable experience, but for newcomers, there will be times where it will feel like the game won't actually let you play it.

Next-gen upgrades are a fantastic way to give a game extra polish and enhance the overall experience by taking advantage of the more powerful hardware. Three months after the launch of RIDE 4 on the PlayStation 4, the game was given a new PlayStation 5 version. While there are glimmers of potential under the surface, especially in the utilization of the DualSense, RIDE 4’s upgrade does little to t...
