    RiMS Racing is a truly unique simulator. And, for that reason, it may rub a casual player the wrong way. In fact, even the most passionate tarmac lover may have some difficulties, due to the steep learning curve, the need to manage individual components in Career Mode, etc. But, beyond that aspect, there is a truly pleasant experience, that RaceWard can improve if it develops the AI, as well as the Online modes and Career Mode. Outsite of the MotoGP titles, this seems to be the motocycling simulation with the biggest potential in the market.

    It's clear RiMS Racing has some good new ideas and a handling system that's greatly complimented by the DualSense controller. It's a pity the bikes and tracks on offer lack some variety. Repetition sets in with a lengthy career mode but it's clearly an enjoyable ride and customising bikes can be an engrossing, meticulous process. At times, the slim content can feel strung out but there's an impressive foundation to build upon.

    RiMS Racing is a very innovative title in terms of driving but immature in terms of contents. Its excessive difficulty and the lack of motorbikes and circuits won't have the other developers to be worried for this new competitor. Still, we cannot forget it's just the debut title in the two wheels market.

    A good first lap for a racing series debut, RiMS Racing is a game designed for bikers. It adds an element of maintenance and customisation to the racing formula which makes for a compelling career experience. With great action on track and a unique system off it, RiMS is certainly worth your time but has room for improvement in a sequel.

    RiMS Racing is a solid foundation for RaceWard Studio to work on. The racing is by the numbers and its campaign mode is very familiar, but the depth of its simulation and customisation sets it apart. It’s rough around the edges but it’s a solid enough entry in the bike racing genre.

    RiMS Racing is full of good intentions, but doesn't really excel in anything. With a little more attention to detail, and with a lot more content, RiMS Racing 2 will probably be a hit. But for now, we remain a bit hungry.

    As a motorcycle racing enthusiast I have been waiting for a real Gran Turismo on two wheels for years, but unfortunately Rims Racing also falls short. The actual gameplay is more than fine, but everything around it is substandard, redundant and annoying.

    While RiMS Racing has an enjoyable core racing mode, the addition of motorcycle maintenance and plenty of technical issues on PS5 prove a dealbreaker. If you’re looking for a realistic racing game that is still enjoyable, look elsewhere.

Gameplay- absolutely terrible. This is not a game but a mechanic simulator. You even have to unscrew screws to take a part of your bike then sell it and replace with a new one. It’s over complicated with boring stuff. Riding is impossible. Extremely difficult and boring. I’ve been cursing the whole time I played it.… Full Review »

There are numerous setting options, content and motorcycles as well as spare parts. The different motorcycles feel believable and can be driven well through the different race tracks. The settings options with the various driving aids are also successful and the motorcycle status check is also pleasing right away. The graphics in the game also fit and the motorcycles still sound good. If you are looking for a new racing game with motorcycles, you should take a closer look at "RiMS Racing".… Full Review »
