    Overall, Riders Republic is a fantastic game and the most addictive extreme sports game on the market outside of maybe the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 remake. The variety of sports enables the experience to remain fresh, while those wanting a greater challenge can enjoy more events faster by stepping their game up and going for a more all-encompassing experience with more tricks and tougher difficulty. Cross-generation buyers will be in for a far better experience on the PS5 thanks to the SSD speeding things up and making for a much smoother experience, but the PS4 version is impressive given the tech. If it wasn’t for the SSD’s speed, the feeling of both versions’ races would be quite similar and you can’t go wrong with any version.

    Riders Republic is a truly massive extreme sports game that borrows from Ubisoft's better open world pillars. A variety of events and the ability to play against massive servers in a gorgeous sandbox provide a unique thrill that few games manage.

    If you can ignore the game’s obnoxious attitude and in your face corporate sponsorship, you’re richly rewarded with accessible, consistently engaging representations of biking, snow sports, and wing suiting, coupled with a massive and literally awesome environment in which to compete or explore. Those that are into riding the leaderboards–or just playing with their friends–will have plenty of opportunities to fuel their addiction, but I’m guessing that just about everyone can find joy here in just goofing around in this expansive playground, at least for a while. Whether or not Riders Republic sticks the landing and stays in the playlist of many gamers beyond launch probably depends on a steady stream of new sports to try, and if an actual, thriving community pledges allegiance to the Republic’s competitive modes.

    If you can get past all the posturing and over-the-top woo-hooing, Riders Republic is a very good extreme sports game.

    Arcadic extreme sports game with a focus on multiplayer events that gives sports fans exactly what it should: fun in competition with over-the-top tricks.

    It’s not every day that we get an extreme sports game, particularly one on this scale.

    Riders Republic is a buffet of breathtaking sights and catchy sounds, but it’s bogged down by checklists and grinds.

    Fun game. Feels like your really racing down a mountain. I would recommend using first person for the full effect. Tons of trails and environments.

    The game is extremely beautiful, awesome and fun.
    If you are one of the people who like to be focused and be the best ... it is perfect for    The game is extremely beautiful, awesome and fun.
    If you are one of the people who like to be focused and be the best ... it is perfect for you!
    That's thanks to the fact that the game has numbers of activities that involve other players worldwide to see who takes the first place.
    But if you are one of the people who just want to have fun and explore places in a great open world ... Well, much better!
    The map is huge and perfect and all its places are great, since each one has its fun for each sport.
    The customization of clothing and all the different types of sports is the best that the game has as well as the graphics.
    The graphics are some of the best on the ps5 right now and it has a decent change from current-gen to next-gen.
    Riders Republic exceeded my expectations and I believe it will also exceed yours.    … Expand

The sense of speed you have when you drive your bike down a hill with multiple people all around you is so awesome. The map is giant but never feels empty. So much to discover and do.

    Moving around does not get boring because you can always change up how you move and the natural vistas are beautiful.

    Only downside are the dialogues but just ignore those and you will have an amazing time.

    Hope this game will get a large community and will get supported for many years with more events, outfits and perhaps even more sports (skateboard for instance). Best purchase I made this year. Highly recommended.    … Expand

    This game is fun, but far from a perfect 10. Ubi have very slowly been redeeming themselves recently, and this is another step forward forThis game is fun, but far from a perfect 10. Ubi have very slowly been redeeming themselves recently, and this is another step forward for them no doubt. The game is fast paced, heart pumping, fun. But feels almost to inoffensive, I wish it were ok for songs to have explicit material and blood on impact to be more of an accepted thing in todays gaming market. Also, (hot take) but I HATE premium currency in a fully priced game. We shouldn’t need to spend more than 60 or 70 dollars to have the full experience, and being barred from content which I believe that we should be able to have the ability to obtain with work irritates the hell out of me. But other than that, on my 1660 it ran smoothly and I overall, good game. Good Job Ubi. They do need to add a HUD customizer though lol… Expand

    To me, this game has the same problem that The Crew games have. It tries to be a plane driving, car driving, boat driving and motorcycle driving game, and then none of the controls and mechanics for these vehicles feel polished enough. They just feel odd in relation to other games that use the same vehicles, those games who spent years to perfect the driving mechanics of a single type of vehicle.
    With Riders Republic, it feels the same to me.    … Expand

Missing a checkpoint will result in you losing no matter what. Colliding with anyone can result in you never seeing 1st place. Mass race is an absolute joke. Winning is based purely on luck or hackers. Tricks battle is a joke. Two maps, and if you understand how it works, winning is literally the easiest thing to do. It's stale and boring. Move on, you're better off playing something like Skate.… Expand
