Even when I did do well in a race, the whole experience felt dull. In the end, it lost the fun and became a chore. However, even lowering this all and Ride 4 still demanded the best of the best from me. This includes brake tweaks and handling assistance. ThereвЂ™s no in-game feedback whatsoever that told me whether or not I was doing something right.ДЄs for the racing itself, there are some settings which can be tweaked to make the race easier. When it comes to the overall bike management, I had to learn it all myself too. You canвЂ™t play the game until you beat it. Not to mention that the first-ever mandatory race has some mad time limit which acts as an entry requirement into the game. This took ages because I kept nudging the pavement and my lap did not validate. Booting it up for the first time and I had to race around a track. This is simply because the game makes no attempt to teach you anything at any point in the game. I took issue with how tough Ride 4 is and donвЂ™t get me wrong, this is not because I am bad at these sort of games. I began to read when one of them was going to act in a certain way and I prepare for it. This means that while I was juggling every other darn realistic mechanic in the game, the AI also popped in to get in the way and make their presence clear. This further adds to the sheer challenge in Ride 4 as while the AI are avoidable in a standalone race, much of the campaign sees them get in the way during those races. I donвЂ™t watch motorsport much but every time the AI showed off their skill or reacted to the way I raced, it kind of felt like a natural way of doing things. So while I was trying to turn the corner with the utmost care, the predictable AI would often ruin my day and get in the way.

I also had to keep in mind that while Ride 4 tries to keep the realism at the forefront, the game also includes some rather impressive AI that often gets in the way while trying to race. Ride 4 manages to capture the thrill of the motorsport and feels great to play. ThereвЂ™s a lot to love here if you enjoy this sort of game and all the micromanaging that comes with it.
