    Il peggio che un videogioco possa essere.
    Se non altro le scene di sesso da vestiti e la **** delle scene in moto sono esilaranti .
    Ottimo regalo per uno scherzo.

    Ride to Hell: Retribution is my second worst games of decade beside Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing, this game made every single bad games from 2011 to 2020 look like the best games of all time.

    The worst games of its year and an easy contender for the worst games of all times list. It has all the stables of a broken game.

It has all the stables of a broken game. Poor controls, countless bugs, repetitive gameplay, bad graphics, laughable AI, bad story, hilariously bad voice acting and as cherry on top poor treatment or portrait of woman. It is a linear 3D beat em up with biker themes. Maybe they wanted to do something like the TV show “Sons of Anarchy” with GTA elements. It was planned as open world game at one point but then came a phase of development hell. You play as Vietnam veteran Jake Conway who returns home and is drawn into a conflict with the devils hand biker gang that has connections to his fathers past. The story is nothing special and poorly written and executed. The gameplay is equally awful. You will curse the controls, hate the bike sequences and the fight system. The graphics look outdated and the soundtrack is not remarkable. I am still impressed how a game like this could be released. It is broken beyond repair and in a state that no one can deny the truth. Many have ranted about this game and they are right. Overall this is a horrible game and I want to give a 0/10. However these ratings are reserved for real **** like everything Fallout 76 archived since release or adding commercials to a full price game after release and gambling mechanics. So it gets a 1/10 and barley even reached that. My full sympathy to all developers, designers and other people involved. You were forced without a doubt and deserved better.… Expand

    Most legendary and amazing game I have ever played, absolute masterpiece. I cannot find a single flaw in this, it was done perfectly and wonderfully, graphics looked like real life and 10x better than GTA V which is a rip-off of this game. Voice acting was very professionally done and made me feel immersed.

    Is this the worst video game ever as it so promoted? Sure, it starts out quirky, and yes, there’s just as many cut scenes as there game play but many of the shooting environments are very cool to play in.

It's easily a game that balances fun (perhaps poorly) with ridiculousness. Bosses and villains are cartoony, the fighting becomes monotonous, and the fully clothed sex is down right silly and unnecessary. But aside of the PG-13 insinuated sex, this game is NOT for the kiddies. The violence IS extreme and holds nothing back. Yet, the game is still consuming. Something about it that make you want to continue on and finish it. It's certainly not the best game out there, not even close to the true classics, but I can't say it's really the worse video game I've ever spent 17 hours on. Don’t take this game so seriously as you would with others, consider it a farce, a cartoon, a satire on the times and on game playing in general, and you might actually have some fun with it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ride to Hell makes slitting your balls on Glass look like a blast and committing suicide by ingesting cyanide look like a **** ride at Disney Land the everything is bad its **** its **** AND GUESS WHAT ITS MORE **** ****

    Everything in this game makes me want to grab the developer by the throat and cripple this piece of autistic **** known as Deep Silver by the legs

    The voice acting makes you want to jump off a bridge while thinking I'm a real boy and falling on and killing innocent women and children because that is a better death than playing actual **** known as the embodiment of garbage known as RIDE TO HELL

    Combat in this game is so slow it makes Patrick Star look like the **** Flash and is so BROKEN IT MAKES MORTAL KOMBAT X LOOK LIKE THE PINNACLE OF FIGHTING GAMES, PHILOSOPHY,BEAUTY,SELF-ACTUALIZATION, NIHILISM, NOT BEING **** AND MORE

    The Graphics literally look like you rub 10 feet of DOG **** IN YOUR EYES and you bashed your head into a rock til all you can see brown blurs and can only remember 1 one word "atrocious"

    AND THE VOICE ACTING HOLY **** **** ITS **** GARBAGE its the equivalent of grabbing your throat bashing it into a stone slab then you ate a whole skyscraper of glass and talked like that FOR 30 HOURS STRAIGHT and the AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    okay I KINDA CALMED DOWN Now Back the SOUND EFFECTS summary
    It is the pinnacle of a cup of Clorox being poured down down your scrotum
    and lit on fire by Gasoline

    goddamn it

    Now the story oh yeah its **** so I'm gonna spoil it because **** YOU IF YOU WANNA PLAY THIS **** ****

    Jake Conway(your **** and uninteresting character known as ****)
    returns from Vietnam and he's back in the United States but his brother is killed and got shot in the head and know because well time to get Revenge

    so Kill Bill and well unlike Kill Bill which was awesome,Ride to Hell is garbage combined with dog **** and wants me to **** jump off a cliff into a volcano of RADIOACTIVE HOMELESS MEN INTESTINES

    now "good (starts throwing for 1 hour straight)" thi(throw up again for 1 hour straight)ngs(gag gag)
    the good custim(throwing up for 5 hours straight)ization for your bike
    and yeah thats it

    THIS GAME SHOULD BE LOCKED IN THE BOWELS OF HELL AND TOTRURED BY SATAN FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY

    THIS LEGITIMATELY IS A LEGAL MEANS OF TORTURE this is worse than anything Gitmo can ever come up with

    Ride to Hell: Retribution should be avoided like the plague. Paying any amount for a game this awful would be a rip off. You’ll laugh at the game for the first hour but after that it simply becomes enraging. Save your hard earned dollars and watch a play through on the internet. If you’re looking for a good biker game, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned is the way to go.

The best part of this game is the sex scenes with the clothes on as it adds another layer to the "penetration" also the enemies are very realistic and the graphics.

Not quite content to dub it as the worst game of 2013, many companies since then have declared it to be one of the worst games of all time. Five minutes into playing this game, I immediately saw why.

    Right off the bat, simply looking at the game will let you know how poorly made it is. The graphics are absolutely terrible, consisting of blurry backgrounds, terrible character models (of which there are only five for all females), and has constant texture pop-in every time a scene loads. Sometimes the textures fail to appear before a cutscene ends, which is confusing considering the lack of detail in every environment, character, and enemy should prevent this from happening.

    The sound design is horrendous. The voice acting is so terrible that it could easily give the original Resident Evil a run for it's money, and the motorcycles in the game sound closer to weed-whackers rather than something resembling a bike. If a sound effect doesn't sound terrible to you, it's probably because it's not actually in the game. Many sound effects are straight up missing, leaving you confused as to why a vehicle is actually running considering the engine doesn't seem to be turned on as you pass it.

    Despite the obvious lack of production value in the graphics and sound design, Retribution could've made all of it up if it had the gameplay done right, but unsurprisingly, the game got all of that wrong as well.

    The shooting feels lazily made, with aiming that is so claustrophobic and stiff that precision doesn't is non-existent. This only serves to screw you considering every enemy is a walking bullet sponge that will only go down realistically with a single headshot. With the terrible aiming in place, trying to accomplish this on every enemy becomes a challenge in its own. The cover system barely works as it only serves to leave your head completely exposed, meaning taking cover while you're low on health only helps to seal your fate. It also doesn't help that the cover and dodge move are linked to the same button, so trying to dodge a grenade will often cause you to stay in place of it's destination. Speaking of which, any explosion near your character causes him to exit cover like an idiot and leave himself exposed to enemy fire while he dazedly stumbles around. Each flaw is bad by itself, but it only gets worse when they all come to a head, creating punishingly difficult sections where your only hope is for the enemy A.I. to mess up and make your job easier (This is literally why I beat the final level of the game, since the one enemy who had been killing me decided to fire his rocket launcher at a pole instead).

    Melee combat is just a poor imitation of the Arkham games that barely works, causing you to shoot down any enemies attempting to fist fight you instead or dropping your guns and leaving yourself exposed to enemy fire. Plus, fighting is littered with quick time events that are so easy the lack of challenge is just insulting to your intelligence.

    This all being said, the game is rarely difficult, but the few times you die will only cause you to rage quit when you see just how far back the game sets you due to the terrible checkpoint system.

    The only gameplay off foot are the driving sequences, in which you'll have to drive overly long distances to reach your destination, and you'll do this by dealing with the oversensitive steering and lack of a reverse button. Try to back up or get pushed back an inch by crashing into an obstacle at break-neck speeds and the game will simply reset you on the track. Have this happen too much and the game will kill you off by throwing you into the side of the track and have your bike explode against your will.

    The one good thing this game probably has is the decent bike customization, with an extensive array of options, but when you're put on a linear track where seeing the side of your bike usually means you're dead, it's kind of hard to care about customizing your bike considering there's little pay off or reason to due so. The terrible graphics only make the decision easier.

    By the time you finish Retribution, the game's cliched story and characters leave you less than satisfied. Any important death or plot twist leaves you unfazed, and by the end you won't care about any of the characters involved. My own character could've died at the end and I probably wouldn't have even batted an eye, or I would've simply smiled out of happiness.

    Overall, after experiencing the game for myself, suffering through it's terrible graphics, sound design, story, and gameplay, I can honestly say that all of the hate going towards Ride to Hell is one hundred percent justified. Unlike other games that fail to function or have mechanics that don't work, Ride to Hell actually manages to work just as intended, which only makes it all the more sad that the game is actually functioning the way it was meant to.    … Expand
