49 of 49 · most liked firstThe only controllable cycling sim there is. Beware career mode has NO stat progression system for real riders. The age doesn't change, the stats don't change. I think this game is incredibly overpriced just because it has a monopoly on the cycling genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing this title since the very first game, I was extremely pleased to see it finally come to PC. Although not everyone's cup of tea, I'll provide some pointers to anyone less familiar than I; Graphics - 5/10 (Passable, not great, but fine for a lower-budget cycling sim, little to no change year on year) Gameplay - 8.5/10 (A few issues regarding difficulty I'll touch on after, but overall they have made significant improvements through the years to the point where it's very natural…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →About time this came to PC! If you like the Tour de France you should totally buy this!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a cycling fan and like the Tour de France! This game will put you on the run to get ahead of the peloton. Even if you never participated in a Cycling race event the ordeal, the sweat the pain and tears and its details you will have fun and learn how difficult it is to be the champion of this incredible tournament. This game is just incredible in my opinion!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AWESOME SO MANY GRAPHIC SETTINGS IT REALLY IS SO GREAT I CAN CHOSE BETWEEN CHANGING RESOLUTION AND EHH OH YEA AND CHANGE RESOLUTION ANNNND!!!! WHAT WAS IT! HEYY WAIT A MOMENT I CAN ONLY CHANGE RESOLUTION
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At it's best, Tour de France 2020 is actually a good game. But as much as I'd like to sing it's praises, in it's more or less 'finished' state this year I cannot. This series still feels more like a tech demo than a finished game. The main game modes (Pro Team/Leader) set you up for failure, because at first you have access to so few events that you can't achieve the ranking you need, unless you achieve unrealistically good results for your relative team strength. Even then, you're still at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Few things to say: - No energy management by AI - They either go full out until blow up, or basically stop riding so they can regain energy. Simply stupid to see on some mountain stages where peloton goes hard for like 15 km only to basically stop for final 3 km before summit. - Predictible - after riding like 3 TdF you can easily tell where breakaway is going to be caught, where breakaway can actually go away, what time will breakaway have at specific moment of stage(!)... (amazing "blockade"…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game thinking my buddy and me could ride tour de france together. forget it :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Anyone get stuck in language choosing?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just a bad idea..first of all you have no keyboard option ..only controller and secondly the other npcs just spawn in front of you even if you pass them and winning a race is almost impossible ..and most of the time you will wake up being the last racer even if you were in the very first ..just because you have to follow some '' rules '' ..if you would want try this game just wait for a huge sale !!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is probably the worst, most boring cycling game ever created. I can't even make it past the terrible tutorial levels because there's walls of text and annoying recorded audio which do nothing to describe how to accomplish the actual training objectives. I can't even find a proper guide or video showing how to complete the time trial tutorial they are so bad and confusing. RESPECT THE SUGGESTED EFFORT LEVEL, IT MAY DECREASE OR INCREASE IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THERE'S 4 DIFFERENT GAUGES ON…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To bad that we have to say; shame on the devs that they make this only with a (complete clunky) joystick-controller version ... and did not make it also with the keyboard version that they have for the other (very good) cycling editions. They managed to kill there own pearl :( And don't give anything on the keyboard players that are supporting there other games for years :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tour de France 2020 is a unique and interesting experience, but falls in between two potential great ideas. The end result is a mediocre racing game and a mediocre team engagement game. I'm going to divide this into two parts, one for the concept and design aspects and one for the technical. - Design - The thing to be aware of going into Tour de France is that it is much more focused on energy conservation and long term strategy than it is on "racing". The core strategies in the game are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Glad it's finally on PC, wish there was more modding options. If this and PCM would combine so you could ride and control a rider at a time that'll be a true dream. Few bugs here and there but nothing gamebreaking. Good game, decent replayability. Wish workshop support will be added in future patches.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →when i start the game there nothing to click on to start it only load tour de france it sucks
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game freezes at language selection and after about 30 seconds it crashes. Its been 3 weeks since I wait for a solution to this. On 8 september I was fool enough not to hit refund button while I was within the steam politics period (less than 2 weeks since you bought the game or less than 24hours of gameplay) because I liked the game and I thought it'll be fixed fast.. not the case and now I cannot get a refund For sure I'd not buy again any of the games produced by them just because of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Tour games are really good honestly but no reason to buy the 22 or 21 version as it's virtually the same game for 3 times the price (for 21) or 6 times the price (for 22). A part from maybe 2 features. Despite what the name indicates you can race in several tournaments and there is even a career mode that's very decent. You can both make a team and make a racer. The gameplay is fun though I will say that it's weirdly hard to break away from the peloton. Unless you join an attack from the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd start this review by asking a question: "Do you enjoy cycling and following professional cycling?" - if, like myself, the answer is "Yes!" then you will probably enjoy this game. If not, it might not be for you because it isn't exactly an arcade game, in my opinion its more a simulation of cycling races (which are long and strategic), albeit one where you get the fun of controlling the riders. That aside, would I recommend this game? Yes, I would. To get them out of the way, negatives…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There should be a 'meh'-button: The game is fun and addicting, but frustrating in its flaws (unless I'm doing everything wrong ofcourse)... - No graphics setting (except for resolution) - No real gameplay adjusting (only amateur and pro, the difference isn't that big) - ONLY 3 PERSONS in game: 1 cyclist, 1 female supporter and 1 male supporter. Some cosmetics try to hide that, but it's really silly to see 1 guy multiplide by 300 at the start... - The smart using of energy and energy loss is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a very smart and good game for cycling lovers!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love playing this title on PC!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im a Sim Racing person and the Downhill stuff in this is SUPER FUN! i had a blast just doing that!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU ARE A BIG FAN OF TOUR DE FRANCE - THIS GAME IS BAD Pros: - It's the closest game you get to the real Tour de France - One for an insight into what different driving styles there are - You realize how much energy the cows use. The game is good to show that the riders use more energy the faster they drive, and that you can not drive full speed and be in the front throughout the race Cons: - The graphics are bad - If you are about to run off the field and into the grass you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great game very fun and tactical. I think the downside is that every cyclist looks the same which is irratating to me. AMAZING GRAPHICS
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not know what to say about this game. It is surprisingly quite fun. It is a bike racing game, there is nothing more that can be said. You will either get enjoyment or think the game is stupid.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty decent game, a few little bugs here and there but nothing really major !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game crash simulator
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For cycling enthusiasts
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what a waste of time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought I liked Pro Cycling Manager more than this, but this game is killing PCM. I love the arcade feel of this game overall, and the graphics are always really pleasing. I'd say the only thing missing from this edition is lack of races to fill the calendar.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bike, bike go races, i love sprint
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The detailing of cycling tactics is really awesome
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great simulation
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The physics and bike handling are laughable, there's never any crashing, but there's just something about it that's addictive and fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good simulation & strategy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, this thing is a buggy, largely unenjoyable mess. Pass this one on the straightaway.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game, great mechanics
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know how to corner well in real life racing. However, using the lousy controller I cannot for the life of me follow a good line around corners. Great concept, terrible execution in the controls. Skip this one until they have some sort of assist with the controls.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Jesus, it's actually alright.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good gameplay and race tactics pretty developed and realistic. Career mode not very good though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game only cycling enthusiasts will appreciate. You can form a team (with budget constraints), select riders for a race, control any of the riders during a race (attack, chase, sprint, just sit in, or order teammates to begin a sprint leadout, as well as minor details including taking a feed to recover some energy you have expanded).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game if you like the tour de france!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game! I have followed Tour de France for some years now and when I found out there was a game also. I was very excited and wasted no time to buy it! So far some things are great and some are for improvements +Scenery +Controls +A lot of content +Fun with friends -Graphics -physics
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Solid game, good career mode. Would like to see more development in the game in upcoming years, but overall still a very solid title.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hello. I can play the game without errors but when I go to the editor, to change someone's rating, the game crashes. What can I do?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have owned several different versions of these games over the years. I was super excited when they announced that they were finally bringing it to PC. It is a cycling game through and through, if you are the type of person who will watch stages of the Tour live on TV and you like gaming then you will probably enjoy this game. However if watching hours of the peloton sounds boring to you maybe look elsewhere :P With that being said, yes the game has some glitchy animations and moments and the…
