If you're looking for the sensation of riding a litre-bike at 300 kp/h on your PC there's no question, get this. RiMS is amazing in convincing you you're riding a stupidly fast motorcycle, stupidly fast, and I love it for that. As a game, Ride 4 has a better structure. As a sim, RiMS embarrasses Ride 4, and that is a game I love, too. Manufacturers should be doing whatever they can to have their latest…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pro's: - probably the best realistic motorcycle physics engine to date. Cons: - Everything else. - There are only a handful of 1000cc superbikes, no lighter models available. No 600's, no moto 3... nothing. Just 5 or so 1000cc superbikes. - Very low amount of tracks. - The penalty, progression & wear/damage repair your bike needs can't be turned of and are overly harsh. They are so extreme it takes the fun out of the game, as you (certainly at the start) will cause more costs in damage…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Phenomenal physics, effectively the closest you can get to actually riding and great to learn techniques like trail breaking, practice lines, and see how you're improving with lines. Buggy mess. Races literally not playable on most AMD GPUs. It's sad this got abandoned, it's literally the best motorcycling game that never was - if they stabilize the game and add mod support, this game will be the BeamNG of motorcycles.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The crashing and visual glitches make it impossible to play this technical "marvel." Avoid at all costs. https://steamcommunity.com/id/swansonhart/screenshot/2265938781810850288/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I believe the game is great by most of the review from research but on PC the compatability is terrible to play with you will randomly get white screen, graphics rendering failure during the game =( better read the discussion board before you buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So if you've ever rode a motorbike in real life this game is for you. It's one of the most realistic bike games I've had the pleasure of playing. This is not for children, bikers are adults who live for the open road and this gives you them feelings you'd get on the seat on the race track. Ignore the negative reviews you have to ride smart, this is quality.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Literally only reason to get this is private testing. AI is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and you cant take any line close to them without getting taken out
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →********************************************* EDIT AGAIN 8/15: *GSXR passenger footpegs cannot be removed discovery had me fully crashing out* For some reason the R1 wants to endo under hard braking far easier than other bikes? Just can't get on with the R1 unfortunately. Semi-Pro difficulty very unenjoyable due to the relentless punting and lack of AI spatial awareness, but is a great challenge when it works. EDIT: I have just finished season 1 and the achievement shows that less than 1…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay is the best I've played on any motorcycle racing game, even if it's far from perfect. Writing a negative review beacause career and races keep freezing and are unplayable. The game being 3 years old i doubt this will ever get fixed. The repair gimmicks is kinda fun at best the first time then it's a complete chore.. The graphics are pretty bad All six (lol) bikes sound awful to a point it's immersion breaking
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seriously don't let the reviews deter your decision on this one. I rarely ever leave a review for a game but this one deserves better than "mixed". If you wish the RIDE games were actually fun to play, then this is the game for you. Look, I, like most people, play these games with a controller, and while I respect RIDE's mission to be as "realistic" as possible...I don't know how you actually do that for motorcycle racing without an actual rig. At least with car games you can buy a wheel, but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly don't know how people are playing bike games. I haven't try many bike games but I have play any entire in MotoGP and Ride franchise and now this and its feels just as awful as those. Its like Im driving an FWD car without 1 of the front wheels. Content wise the game also doesn't have much to offer they are only 8 bikes and all of them are 1000cc so nothing beginner friendly and 8 tracks + 1 dlc and 4 point to point road races that can also be done in reverse. There is also a career…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh my god bruh, just let me play the damn game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shame on me for reading all the reviews saying the game is broken, thinking I'm different just to find that the game is broken and is thus unplayable. Some graphics bug. Half the tracks you can't see and in the ones you can see, other riders break your vision, thus can't play again. Only time attack works. Fun game overall and I'm saddened that I won't get to try it cause this us unplayable. Maybe in another universe.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AWFUL!! only driveablel on noob settings. Once go to realistic, you crash on everything! Great idea with fixing, upgrading, etc etc. But at the core... if you cant even drive the bike , what's even the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →0.3 Gallons IN, Full Throttle Stay In 1st Gear 20 Laps Later. NO GAS Try Again 0.3 Gallons IN, Limit 10% Throttle, Shifting To Stay Near IDLE RPM. 20 Laps Later, NO GAS TEST was not FUN
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just awesome, most realistic sport bikes physics and riders position input i've ever seen. I ride a SB and this is as close as it gets to reality. Reccomend it for sim racing enthusiasts
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RIMS Racing is the best motorcycle game I've played since SBK '09.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I too was on the edge of buying the game. The negative reviews were getting to me about how the feel of the game felt sluggish or not responsive. I can guarantee you this, after spending plenty of time Spirit Riding in the back roads on my R3, NINJA 400, and '17 R6, this game puts every other motorcycle simulator to shame. You can "feel" when you're doing something. You feel like you're a part of the bike and if you're fast enough, just like in real life, can react to when you're about to mess…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Parts replacement is brilliant RiMS is a high-quality motorcycle racing game with solid graphics, strong performance, and good overall optimization. I didn’t encounter any major blockers while playing. The physics are challenging and rewarding, pushing you to be precise with gamepad inputs and to actually learn concepts like trail braking, ABS tuning, and traction control management. What truly stands out is the parts replacement and maintenance system. It’s brilliantly designed and,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its the best motorcycle game ever made until now IMO. Much better simulation than milestone games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RiMS is a tremendous bike racing game which is sadly also a tremendous example of missed opportunity and squandered potential RiMS is a great concept, with some really fantastic aspects that unfortunately saw a good amount of money and development time put into some of the wrong things and then sadly abandoned by RaceWard to chase the next high... RiMS frankly blows the Ride series and for that matter the MotoGP series out of the water in terms of the actual riding, its not even close.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a hidden gem, reminds me a lot of Assetto Corsa Competizione. If you enjoy riding, you'll enjoy this game. Physics/controls took a good while to figure out, but it was worth it. The experience is fun and rewarding! I think most of the negative reviews are people that haven't put in enough time to really experience the game. I got an achievement for spending 2 hours in practice mode, only 1.2% of players got this achievement lmao
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really wanted to like this game, however i'm disappointed, the mechanic and upgrade system is great, they've obviously spent all their time on that, the bit that is destroying the game for me right now is the terrible AI, the AI riders just bumble round leaning on you, braking fully mid corner or just slamming into the back of you, you'll be flying along a straight full speed and find an AI almost stopped dead coming out of a pack of riders ahead with no way to avoid them in time. Stick with…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite the polarizing game. On one hand this game is glued together with a not as modern game engine as i would like. The framerate, AFTER editing a config file to go over 60, goes between 240 and 20FPS on track. Plus the graphical fidelity isnt on point, especially on the anti aliasing side and bike model quality. On the other the riding and the bike customization is on point and quite enjoyable. The QTE style of changing parts and the wear of them might not be everyones style but the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would be fun, cool mechanics, one ♥♥♥♥♥♥ one is that you can and will have a flawless race and the AI will kamikaze your ass right at the end. Every time. Edit: after realizing this game doesnt want you to have fun... If you are a rider, it feels more real than other racer sims, more on point, more punishing, but when you finally master a circuit it feels damn rewarding. This game is a toxic girlfriend, and I hate how much I love it. Only eight bikes in whole game, hopefully devs will make…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically it's Assetto Corsa Competizione with bikes. But there's a proper career mode, you are also the mechanic, but the other drivers are idiots who sometimes divebomb you. Which is bad on a bike. Given that you can get this for 5€ on the internet, you should try it if you like simracing and motorbikes. But the statistics for some of the achievements should warn you: only 0.6% of players have won the single player championship, and only 6% of players have finished 5 career events (!!!), for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has great potential, but it's just lacking so much polish. There's some great work in the physics department, but it's still not right. Bikes are just way too heavy feeling, and refuse to flick where you need them to. Very apparent in tight chicanes like Zolder. If you're a fraction too early or late in a corner, there's no chance of saving it. The bikes are just much too slow to respond. The rear brake also seems non-existent, making you rely on the front one more than I'd like, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible physics, absolutely unplayable at some point. Been stuck at a certain event for years and every time I try to complete it, I get reminded by the BS physics engine as to why I never complete it. Wish I could refund this absolute mistake of a game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't use my Xbox controller to play the game and, as far as I read in the forums, is a common issue (at least in Linux). What a disgrace!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The AI has a very persistent death wish, you mind your business... then bang! I've just got rear-ended while being off my line
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's not a whole lot of content here, but it's a really cool bike sim. Grab it on a discount.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On steep sale, meh; but I spent more time rolling on the ground than I did on the track to reach the first auto save spot. Ride series on sale is far better, just a casual players perspective.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For me personally this is the best motocycle game ever!!! ( at least in line with TT on PS2) (Of course it is not a perfect game, but I think that if Devs would stick around bit longer there was good chance that it could have been even better. People say that it's been abandoned by Devs... In reality yes they moved away from Rims to crate A new TT geme... IOMTT Ride On The Edge 3!!!!!) If you've got no clue about what Isle Of Man Tourist Trophy is that game will show or should I say tech…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Much more realistic riding experience than Ride 4. Cockpit view (helmet view) is spot on! really enjoyable. It's not too close, not too far from the dash, and with readable dashboard wich is not too tiny nor strangely propotionate. But needs a few improvments though: Engine sound (they sounds like a cheap moped/scooter) especially the MV Agusta and the Yamaha R1 Better Graphics, the paint on the fairings looks...strange, like tainted plastics with uneven surfaces. More bikes could be great…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →kinda steep learning curve. its a bike racing simulator best i can describe it the gran turismo of crotch rockets but i really like the mechanic part swap system and the fact its not too arcadey
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am not a seasoned driver, but I do own a motorcycle (Honda CBR - and I have driven other bikes, Suzuki, Kawasaki, etc) and the way the machines behave in the game isn't at all what I experienced in the physical realm... Also the motorcycle customization is both annoyingly repetitive and drastically limited, it feels extremely scripted, and very arbitrary. Similarly, I did not care for the pit stop game mechanic. In addition,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mehh.. maybe on a bigger sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The bikes are fun and challenging to ride but the AI is so bad. Im almost 100% certain they late brake when they are behind you just to ram you. Their driving lines are also so awful they are useless in most tracks. Career in kinda fun but unlocking new bikes is way too slow. This game has so much potential, hope they make a sequal and fix all the problems.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun so far, but the AI will ram you from the back and remain upright while taking an apex at mach 3 at the same time. Physics is fun and good though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an amazing game, overall. The career is really well built, and the customization options are the best on the market for motorcycles. BUT during a lot of races, one or more motorcycle's texture is bugged and it can cover your entire screen, making it unplayable. I've had times where my bike was the one bugged and it is physically impossible to race.The graphics are also some of the best I've seen, but due to the texture bug, I'm going to be refunding this game and find a new motorcycle…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →crash everytime trying to get into single race loading screen.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as the graphics are enjoying and bike handling, but the game just doesnt work, multiplayers is dead and you can't even play without freezing and crashing.. Garbage..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game ruining micro-stutter, same problem with IOM TT 3 as well. Aside from that this and IOM TT 3 have the best bike physics.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →way ahead of motogp. realistically, I understand a GP bike is a different animal but RIMS feels great. I understand why I crash and what needs improvement because the feedback is there. In GP I will highside with the slightest mistake but you can't keep driver aids on because they're too restrictrive. Each driving aid setting in RIMS gives me immediate feedback. The tracks are cooler in Rims as well and they feel more attainable for a dude like me than mastering le mans in GP.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game at a heavily discounted price and I honestly don't think its worth paying anything, the game has a good concept but it just sucks and the fact that it was basically abandoned by devs doesn't help its case, do not pay for this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super hardcore sim. Reviews talking about handling being ♥♥♥♥ are just dumb. It handles just like real life in a racing scenario. If you're looking for something super hardcore sim, it might suit your taste. The "mechanic" portion of the game is honestly super annoying. Feels like quick time events just to install a part, on the upside the parts make noticeable changes to handling. (Tires grip better, brakes will stop better, exhaust changes the actual sound not just amplify volume.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NEEEEYOOOOOOMMMMMM Also it made me book my bike license test. GG
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very difficult but I wouldn't buy it for myself. but if you enjoy it then buy it. Kind Regards, CC130
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**Absolutely mind-blowing for ₹85! 🔥** RIMS Racing is honestly one of the most realistic bike racing games I’ve played. The bike physics, handling, braking, sounds, and overall riding experience make it feel surprisingly authentic. And for just **₹85**, this is an absolute steal. 💀🔥 If you enjoy bikes or realistic racing games, you really can’t complain at this price. **₹85 well spent. 10/10 value for money. 🏍️🔥**
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is so trash and this stupid steam dont even let me refund it even if i have not played the game more then 2 hours
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Milestone who ? In cases you been living under a rock this game is the most Realistic bike game on the market as a bike guy myself it makes me want to get a motion controller and hook it to a real bike frame and make a full on set up but if you’re a casual put on rider assists and have fun ✌🏻⬇️
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is cool except that sky bug on every camera that makes it look like you spilled cleaner on your monitor. I cleaned my screen to find out its still there, and its also in the other tt3 game isle of man the exact same thing like you copied the bad sky to the other game its exact. a hot fix would be great on all games please
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →glitches alot, tried previous drivers on AMD still glitches , tried low settings , sometime it works sometime it doesnt, depends if you change bikes and tracks, during the game there is artifacting happening when your near other riders. The bike simulation is extremely hard , reminds me of SBK 2008 but harder. better to try the RIDE games. or get this on an old console.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →had problems with controller on linux but after adding as start option: STEAM_COMPAT_CONFIG="" %command% all works fine; other than that - superb game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This could have been the best sportbike game... (but, unfortunately, it wasn't). I recommend this game to true sportbike fans. Only for them. The game has many options you won't find in any other motorcycle game. And that's definitely a plus. Like adjusting tire pressure and replacing motorcycle parts. The track layouts are also very interesting; I encountered some of them for the first time in this game, like the desert road in Australia. To the developers and creators, thank you for the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game 236 x Backlog Quests 36: Rims Racing This was alright, not the worst but some tracks felt too similar Crashing the bikes were hilarious tho
unlabelledView post →Long time Simracing player here. I have played all sort of car racing simulations from a lot years up today, not a champ, ever on the low side of lap times, but I am very confident with a lot of simulated tracks. Now, or driving a motorcycle is immensely, but really immensely, more difficult than driving a GT Sportscar or even a Formula Sportscar, or this game is absolutely, utterly, totally unplayable. I suspect the latter.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RiMS Racing, developed by Nacon Studio Milan and published by Nacon, stands out in the crowded motorcycle racing genre by offering an unusually deep and immersive experience that combines high-fidelity racing simulation with detailed mechanical customization. Rather than focusing solely on fast-paced racing action, this title invites players to engage with their motorcycles on a much more intimate level. The game’s core appeal lies not just in the thrill of the race but also in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate the tutorial. She'll stop you as you're driving, pause your game to talk at you, then put you back in the game at the speed you were going prior to her interrupting so you crash your bike so many times putting up with her. Game also does not work if you don't have a full sized keyboard. If you don't have arrow keys, you can't used wasd without also using keyboard shortcuts. After the tutorial is over and if you use a controller, maybe it would be a better game.
