Jul 29, 2025A stylish open world and a great driving experience are held back only by minor niggles. If only those last two hours weren't there.

Jul 23, 2025Wheel World is a delightfully tactile indie title, and a real celebration of cycling. It feels fantastic to play and it's lovely to look at, but it's held back by a finicky finale and poor performance on PS5. We're hoping that a couple of meaningful post-release patches will address our complaints, because at its core, Wheel World is joyous.

Jul 23, 2025Wheel World’s greatest triumph might be how well it captures the freedom of the open road, the thrill of pedaling through a tree-lined forest path. Like a small town during a 10-year-old’s summer vacation, any path in Wheel World can become a racetrack. Any mound of dirt can be used for a bunny hop, and wooden ramps evoke the thrill of soaring through the air — and the exhilarating rush of a dangerous landing — that bike rides around the neighborhood did way back when. Except now you don’t have to worry about scrapes and bruises, just hand cramps from playing for too long.
