Jun 9, 2025Tour de France 2025 is a great way for a cycling fan to take control of their favorite riders to either replicate their achievements or rewrite history. Racing is exciting and fun and creating the right conditions for a successful attack is challenging. The game’s selection of races is a little limited, but it does allow a player to move through a season relatively quickly. The move to Unreal Engine 5 makes all the action look better. Tour de France 2025 is a good cycling sim that really needs to add both Il Giro and La Vuelta in future installments.

Jul 14, 2025Tour de France 2025 pedals past its stagnant past with a fresh coat of Unreal Engine 5 polish and slightly more strategic gameplay. It’s not quite a yellow jersey winner, but it’s finally become a worthwhile competitor.

Jun 26, 2025Tour de France 2025 struggles to make cycling engaging as a game, offering long races with limited strategic depth. While elements like aerodynamics and energy management are present, they aren't enough to create a compelling experience. Despite improvements in controls and graphics, the game suffers from bugs, poor animations, repetitive commentary, and low visual variety. The removal of split-screen co-op and controller-only support further narrows its appeal, and the lack of replay value makes it hard to recommend.
