60 of 148 · most liked firstGame is good. Love the air physics and deformation mostly. Takes a bit of time to learn, which is great. Ground physics is satisfying and AI is good, though I have only tested Pro so far. Cant complain much at all
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →do not buy delay in throttle response, turning feels ♥♥♥♥ the only good thing is the ruts work other than that game feels horrific
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has big potential to be the best MX game of all time when you talk about the ones that are also released on consoles as well. Track deformation is insane and graphics look good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bike feels like it weighs 3 tonnes in corners yet feels like it weighs nothing mid air, berms suck you in and randomly spit you out in any direction, bikes regardless of power struggle to get up any hills, game also looks choppy even on low settings with a 3070, cant change binds so stuck with terrible binds, wish i could get my money back but can't 38 quid down the drain
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't recommend this game at the moment until its properly optimized. (3/5) rating for now.. The game badly needs DLSS. CONS: - Poorly optimized graphics. - Sounds could be better. - The bikes bog and have poor acceleration. - No career mode - Bike Customization is terrible/non-existent (Can't get rid of the handguards lol) - Suspension seems weird and stiff sometimes.. - Sometimes it feels like you can't turn. PROS: - Has good graphics/textures - Bike handling and ruts feel good. (Minus…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've ridden dirt bikes all my life and played almost every dirt bike game available. MXGP 26 has incredible terrain deformation physics and genuinely impressive graphics. And that's about where the praise ends. It almost feels like they built an awesome dirt-bike sandbox, filled it with a mountain of gear to unlock, and then remembered at the last minute that they were supposed to make an actual motocross racing game. The frustrating part is that there's clearly something good underneath it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought it would be the first good MXGP since 2018, but it's a disaster. Cornering is awful. Ruts suck you in and spit you out completely randomly. Roblox has better cornering physics. The AI is good, and the track deformation is also very good, but you just can't turn your bike properly. Then you jump, and the bike feels like it weighs 2 kg. 2/10, can't recommend it at all. You just can't play this ♥♥♥♥. Also cant change controls........
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update: I don't know how players can give this a thumbs up yet. +Beautiful game, sadly that is it -Lots of settings bugs -The steering is delayed and half the time you just can't steer at all -The terrain deformation is cool, but ruts catapults you out on a steep angle, usually straight out of the track -The bikes are extremely weak and sluggish, the 250 struggles to rev in 1st gear -No career -Championship often fails to save your progress and forces you to redo your last session -No…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steering feels heavy and slow and causes side to side movement. Cant change controls is random. Refunded after 1h gaming. Tried to change settings and deadzones but steering felt exhausting. Back to MX Bikes it is.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SERIOUSLY UNPLAYABLE.. I can't accelerate, and throttle does nothing. MAJORRR BUG makes the game unplayable with no exaggeration. The only mode that doesn't have this issue is time attack smh.. I was experimenting with the assists in Compound until it randomly broke the game. Reinstalling, changing bikes, nothing is fixing this, and there is no fix or anyone else with this related issue so far that I've seen, so I'm not expecting a patch for this aaaany time soon.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing, the physics and bike control are a huge step in the right direction for MX games. You actually have to corner and scrub with intention, land jumps properly, the track deformation is insane. It's hands down 10x better than anything the MX vs ATV series is doing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am leaving this review based on the fact they scammed the life out of everyone for pre-order release bonuses... Using there website to force you to buy there most expensive edition, saying you get 72 hours of early access, when they posted nowhere it was only for consoles! Also buying it from there website, removes all the Steam and Nacon refund capabilities! Its a mega scam that they knew exactly what they were doing with it and for this reason I am leaving them a bad review and so should…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic game. This game is finally back a awesome MXGP game ! Looking forward to spending lots of time on track. The visuals, the tracks , the feeling , it's all spot on !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a huge step in the right direction. The physics and bike handling are satisfying if you turn off all the assists. I copied Troyjannn settings on his youtube video "MY HONEST REVIEW OF MXGP 26..." We finally get legit working ruts. There is no career mode which really sucks but you can race against the ai and they are actually competitive in this game which is very important if you don't like multiplayer racing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game feels not finished at all. The ground work is there and the deformation is the best ive seen in a MX game. The turning is jank no matter what you do with the settings. Hopefully the can push some updates to really fine to this or just really focus on it for the next game. Not worth it but im past the hours for a refund. Still can be fun and it will make you really wanna like it they need to spend more time with this first.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game, played for 15 minutes, requested a refund. Poorly optimised, physics don’t feel right. Can’t believe studios are still releasing games that feel unfinished and rushed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was fun, but it definitely needs some optimizations before I can recommend it. I was getting 80fps with dips to 50fps with 19 AI on track. Played at 4K with resolution scale set to 90% and mix of medium/high/ultra settings. On the time attack mode I was getting 85-90fps consistently.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its ok, its just not the be all end all of MX games. Its just the Best of the mxgp games. Air physics are whack, whips are bizarre, changing rotation mid air is not how whips work. Its lateral Gyroscopic force thats missing. (spin a fidget spinner and then rotate your hand around while holding it, you will feel this force - this is how a motorcycle stays upright, then you carve off the face of a jump and your bike whips out and will naturally want to return straight.) probably hard to code…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why tf can't we change the controls?? seems like the only good thing about this game is ruts
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I believe this game has A LOT of potential, but the steering mechanic is like driving on ice the second you leave a rut, love the overall rider positioning and graphics especially during the rain but traction/bike weight needs a large improvement. Cannot recommend this game until it is changed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →where to start, at least it isnt mxgp24 which was a turd, mxgp26 in its current state is a really well polished turd it looks nice sure but its still a turd. my issues with the game as it stands 1. Very limited customisation 2. grip feels and handling feels inconsistent (sometimes i approach the same corner on mulitple laps and i either massively understeer into oblivion or just wash out the front completely(slight skill issue but still)) 3.no rewind 4. no career mode 5.no ability to reverse…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended — Great foundation, but it needs polishing Coming from MXGP 21 and also having ridden dirt bikes IRL, MXGP 26 surprised me. The physics are HARD, but in a good way. For the first time in an MX game, I actually feel like I'm controlling a rider who is trying to control a ~110 kg motorcycle, rather than directly controlling the bike itself. The bike has weight and inertia. You have to commit to lines, manage weight transfer and actually think about what the bike is doing underneath…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really bad game, runs like crap even on very high end machines, drops half of the frames if it's raining. The game feels like Riders republic tbh, very floaty driving, too casual and same goes for ai they are so bad. Ruts are really nice, but else just feels bad. Don't buy on full price or even at all, thats the last chance I had for a good mxgp game and it's over.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devs need to play test it before releasing. Could of, Should of, Would of been a good game but isn't, needs alot of work. Looks good tho
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Genuinely the worst controls in a motocross game ever. Absolutely zero control over your own bike. One of the most frustrating games I have ever played. Physics do not allow you to find a rhythm due to the jankiness of the ruts. Can't keep weight on the rear cause you'll wheelie out but you can't lean forward either or else you'll lose the rear. Don't even try to hit the gas while you're turning cause the bike will wheelie out and send you to Narnia, it stops turning all together.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Massive improvement from their first installment (MXGP 24) The physics and rut tracking are super fun and good amount of different assist options to make the game feel how you prefer to play. Rider customization is really good. Bikes on the other hand are more limited, you can only change the bike graphics and change the colors of rims, tires, hubs, seat color things like that. But there is nothing like exhaust, bar pad, tires, suspension only cosmetic. Overall I think the game is a good buy if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY. I try to open settings, the game freezes. I tab out, the game freezes. I've only tried two track so far, and the game freezes on one of them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A massive stride in the right direction here. Satisfying to learn, good amount of settings and options to suit how you want to play which is nice to see. This is basically laying the foundations for future entries in the series, they've gone to work on the physics and the terrain deformation and given themselves a fantastic base to work with. Cool to see them actively listening to feedback, happy to support the devs on this one. Long story short, games fun and the ruts are fkn nasty boa.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for 10 minutes...graphicly looks fine..the rest im afraid is so much worse... love 24 but hate this.. does not feel grounded..floaty mess. ill try the rest of the 2 hours .. can you guys get the sound right? (its not in sync with the throttle.. this should not have been released yet but since it is.... better get working! so many things to fix
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had so much hope for this game, but you have no aftermarket parts to install on bikes, you can't ride for a factory team as your character, and there's no career mode. Worst of all are the ground physics! The bike is oversteering on every corner because of the terrain deformation. But if you don't catch a rut you understeer off the track. (even with steering sensitivity on high) Even with assists your bike wont stay straight when you want it to and you end up jumping off the track or exiting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game overall is fun. but it has some huge problems. 1. No customization at all for bikes and very little for gear as well. 2. multiplayer is unplayable. idk how but this game has worse optimization then MX Bikes does. 3. (MOST IMPORTANTLY) if you go off track by a FOOT, your controller is essentially disabled. u cant accelerate, steer, or do anything to help get u back on track. better off just crashing and reseting. 4. THE FLAGGERS!!!!!! they stand literally ON THE YELLOW STICKS that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no customizing for the bikes is crazy but sure take alot of time for gear and rider customizing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good foundation, and I'm excited for the next titles. The ruts and air physics are great, and it looks really good. Cornering feels good. This is probably the best MXGP game ever, but it's still not amazing. Milestone couldn't figure it out, and the direction Artefacts is taking is very promising. However, at $50, I just can't recommend this. Its a great foundation, but very shallow. Hopefully the next editions will continue building up on it. I'm refunding but open to buying it after…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is super inconsistent. Steering is all over the place and bikes are way to bouncy. Refunded after trying for an hour.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not worth it there goes 50 bucks... it's crazy to me that the MX games have gotten worse and worse lol
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes they did it! We finally have a proper simcade MX game. BUT it needs some serious improvements for their next game. +The best track deformation i have ever experienced in a racing game. +Whips,Scrubs feel so gooooood. +Bike weights more. +Physics are on point. +Rider Posture button +Many settings to tune the assists how you like them. +More options in bike setups and tuning than Milestone games. +A.I is surprisingly good and they have a huge skill-time gap with opponents. -Sounds of bikes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great potential just not ready game sell by full price, NACON that makes your company ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weasels this game is max early access...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im impressed how good the physics are, im having alot of fun not much to complain. Online Mode can be better, like faster games and more lobbys but hopefully comes with time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best mx game ever made, just need some fixes. give us server list and fix connection lost problem and I change my review to positive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great balance between arcade and Sim. Very different and something to adjust too. after a couple hours of getting used to it is very enjoyable
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought I'd try this out, refund and move on but dang they have something here. It's a solid MX RACING game, everything is geared towards racing. Mistakes in corners cost you, can't hit every jump full throttle and survive, deformation is solid. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely, but it's a solid base for a moto game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game runs good, it looks really nice. But its just not there yet, they're of to a way beter start then where Milestone ever left. But the fact there is no carriermode. The physics still feel a bit weird and buggy. I will enter a corner and the rut will just randomly skyrocket my bike in to the air, like i just hit a massive jump. Within the first race this happend a view times. And yeah i'm not great at the game probably even tho with respawning a view times every lap i was still 20 second…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →9.9 / 10 BEST MOTO GAME IN YEARS! DON’T LISTEN TO THE WHINERS in some of the other reviewers who have the attention span of a fly lol PHYSICS / ANIMATIONS: 10 Scrubs Whips INCREDIBLE, mx vs atv games haven’t gotten it right since reflex, milestone never did and mx bikes is great but only for PC players like us. The riding animations / body positioning GREAT, VERY IMPRESSED! I rode and raced my whole life, let me tell you they’ve got something here! You earned this major win! NACON get the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →where is carrer mode ?? nothing to do... its BORING
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is unfinished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! Best one in a long time. It is so much better than Legends. I never liked that game. This does what that game wishes it could. It is not perfect and there are things that can be improved, but it is fun. The challenges and learning how to play are honestly a breath of fresh air compared to the games we've been getting for years.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Physics are weird, heavy as ♥♥♥♥ on he ground, feels like excessive traction and floaty as in air. Terrain deformation is cool and annoying at the same time, resulsts in some weird ♥♥♥♥ like just launching out of corners or getting booted over berms. Speed is broken, you either over jump by a mile or dont clear at all, seems to be zero engine braking effect in manual or auto mode so unless you smash brakes before hitting some jumps you just catapult cant climb a hill on a factory 450 without…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →okay the physics are better than the rest of mxgp games but still so weird feeling sometimes. bike customization sucks ass like what. ONLINE RACES are the worst thing ive ever seen and idk how thats acceptable whatsoever. game runs like POOP. ruts catipult you sometimes and its very frustrating why advertise as the most realistic motocross game and not have true gyro physics? these ruts with mx bikes physics and some polish??? when and where dude has potential but was let out of the oven way…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have never been happier to be wrong on a videogame in my whole life. This actually feels more like a sim than an arcade MXvsATV crapshow!!! I can't wait to see more tracks and more bikes... I'll be waiting on some 2 stroke DLC!! Honestly this is AWESOME! FINALLY a decent halfway realistic motocross game with AI to race!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love the rider physic, track physic, everything is great. i just hoping they could add more dlc or tracks or anything, this new mx feels so much different (latest played mxgp21)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →played an hour crashed twice, apart from that i have enjoyed what i have played so far keen to play more :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the game. Great job. It took a couple hours to get a bike setup and feel for different conditions. Once you do its really satisfying. Thanks to the developers. This has been fixed, thanks again team - *One issue, cant change controller settings
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far its an awesome mx sim if that is what you want. It handles very similar to MX bikes and its a lot of fun. Championship mode is bugged keeps putting me back a race after it saves.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think it's good, but I would want more customization options (especially bike parts) , factory bike liveries, factory team gear and a career mode just like the previous MXGP games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's pretty ok. If you really like MXGP then you will like this. You need to fine tune the assists for what works best for you. I don't think the graphics are the greatest ever, they are very nice and runs fine on epic with my 5080. I don't see any of the DLSS stuff though. The Ai's appear to have been patched up and aren't making as many mistakes anymore. It's a thumbs up, but it needs a few more things. I want to ride factory race bikes with my own character, or at least have some cool…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →your AI is horrible, has absolutely no brain. you guys need to do so much better. make them aware of what is going on not some little missile coming to try to kill you 24/7. and please let me get on the fricken track, I dont even have to be off of the track for it to not let me turn. It will be good once you fix these issues.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been searching for a year now to find the best and most realistic and fun MX racing game. Ive tried so many. I'm not saying all but A LOT. This is by far the best ive played. It's not even close. A lot of the complaints this game is getting is from people who are used to the junk arcade MX games like MX vs ATV. This isnt that. Does it have some arcade aspects? Yes. However it is sim forward and actually feels great if you are like me and that's what you're looking for. I was shocked when…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has to be the worst MX game I've ever played and I've been playing them since PS2. i really don't think the people that made this game has ever rode a dirtbike in their life. Whatever you guys was doing before this game please go back to it because dirtbikes is not your thing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Allow me to begin this with a disclaimer: I enjoy this game and find it to be quite fun, the game itself is not why I am not recommending it, but instead it is the online performance The online performance of this game is ABYSMAL Everyone sounds like they're just rev bombing their bikes in first gear, EVERYONE you're racing against is just stuttering and teleporting all around the track and if they come into contact with you then you're the one that gets sent into orbit There's so much…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first I was worried this was going to be a slung together Unreal Engine 5 game, because I haven't played very many UE5 games that actually felt like they had effort put into steering it away from the typical UE5 tools and towards something more bespoke or custom. Man, was I wrong. I was drawn in by the deformation and graphics and on my first run around the test track, I was beginning to think maybe the actual driving part was thrown together haphazardly. HOWEVER, after some practice,…
