Tour 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.
