RIDERS REPUBLIC PS4 SERIES
Partly that's down to how you can fast travel to any event on the map and be taken there near instantaneously (on Series X, at least, where I spent most of my time playing Riders Republic), and part of it's down to how you can switch between disciplines on the fly. There's a decent amount of community tools in Riders Republic, and where that community takes this game next is going to be fascinating. Persevere, though, and it's then often remarkable how eager Riders Republic is to get out of the way. Given how pervasive that voiceover can be in the first hour, I wouldn't be surprised if it proved an endurance test too far for most players. This is one of those extreme sports games that overlays its action with grating voice overs, the dialogue more likely to give you a nosebleed than any of the highest altitudes you're invited to scale. It's annoying, too, especially at first when the overlong tutorial takes hold and refuses to let go for the best part of an hour. It is deeply, gloriously silly, though, a playground told with an exuberance that's infectious as you pedal down perilous courses in matching giraffe outfits. This is neither as focussed - there's a broadening out of disciplines to include bikes as well as terrain types that go beyond mere snow here - nor quite so strange, with no spoken word interjections from the mountains themselves (at least none that I've come across in over a dozen hours or so of play - this is a vast, vast game after all). Some of that brilliance might be familiar from Steep, 2016's equally open-ended extreme sports outing upon which so much of Riders Republic is built. Availability: Out now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.Riders Republic is, more often than not, a brilliant thing. It is also, perhaps more crucially, an extreme sports game that will fall over itself in order to serve up some fun, and one that ensures that, for all its excess, you're never more than a few seconds away from the primal thrill of throwing yourself down the side of a mountain. The work of some seven studios led by Ubisoft Annecy, this is a vast open world compendium of extreme sports that can be as lumpy as the terrain you ride rough over, packed with so much stuff you can see and feel it straining at the seams. Like a lot of Ubisoft games, Riders Republic is a lot.
Ubisoft builds upon the framework of Steep with this enjoyably eccentric open world extreme sports adventure.
