RiMS Racing‘s issues lie mostly on its presentation and lacklustre amount of content. Still, it’s a bit more forgiving than most of its peers and a bit more lenient with newcomers, especially due to its serviceable tutorial mode. You will still have to learn how and when to properly brake, or else you’ll still fly around like a ragdoll in a tornado. Well, it can be frustrating, but that depends on the level of realism you choose to play the game on, which can be tweaked at any moment in the pause menu. It’s nowhere near as frustrating to play as its focus on engineering would suggest. Thankfully, despite being so hell-bent on drowning players onscreen, graphs, and charts, RiMS Racing is a fun RACING game in its own right.

It would be a shame if I crashed to my death… If you’re not into this more management and physics-based kind of “gameplay”, you can still play RiMS Racing as a borderline arcade/simulator hybrid, but you’ll be missing on what sets the game apart from all the others. You can also tweak the strength of the brakes in order to assess how you should drive around the track without crashing head first into a wall. You can adjust its physics and deal with how much fuel you want to start the race with in order to save weight. You can tune and tweak literally every single nut and bolt attached to your bike. Actually racing around a track with a motorbike is basically half of RiMS Racing‘s gameplay loop, half of what it has to offer. That sounds a bit disappointing, but hear me out. RiMS Racing has a niche of its own: engineering. Meanwhile, the TT Isle of Man games appeal to those who are into the Snaefell Mountain Course, the most ludicrous racing event in the world. Ride focuses on having a crap ton of bikes for you to ride on, being mostly a two-wheeled Gran Turismo.

The MotoGP games feature all licensed racers and tracks from the world’s premier motorbike racing league. RiMS Racing suffers from a significant amount of pop-in.Įach of these motorbike games focuses on one specific feature to pretty much justify its existence.
