    I've been trying to log on to this game for more than an hour. Everything is fine as far as connections are concerned. I am very disappointed that I can't play this game

    When I first started playing this game, I really thought I was going to enjoy it. Well, that lasted for about an hour or so. After that it became one of the most frustrating games I've played in a long time. If you enjoy cheap mechanics that constantly screw you, you are going to love this game!

Well, that lasted for about an hour or so. After that it became one of the most frustrating games I've played in a long time. If you enjoy cheap mechanics that constantly screw you, you are going to love this game! You are going to get bumped so many times in races. A lot of those bumps from the ghost opponents are going to cause you to crash or mess up and have to start from the beginning. By the 20th or 25th time of having to start a race over because you make one tiny mistake or get bumped by the ghost opponents, you are going to want to pull your hair out.

    If you aren't frustrated yet, just wait until you've restarted the game for the 15th time because it randomly crashed.

    Not frustrated yet from the game crashing or screwing you over in races? Well, just keep playing and I'm sure after you've heard the same song 25 times in a row (it restarts the same song over when you restart a race), you will rather bang your head against a wall than keep putting up with the crap Riders Republic sends your way.

    On top of all that, I bought the Ultimate Edition and it still won't give me any of the cosmetics that come with that edition. So Ubisoft again releases another half-baked game and screws their customers. Don't let them screw you too!

    I definitely won't be playing this game again until they address all these issues. You probably won't have much fun playing Riders Republic either until they actually finish the game and fix all these issues.    … Expand

    Janky mechanics, 64 player mass races that are ruined by overly aggressive player collision, micro transactions for every cosmetic you’d actually want, paid content not delivered to those who shelled out extra for the special editions, constant crashes, bugs galore, special gear becomes obsolete by the next race/event, can’t sell duplicates or lower level gear and the only thing you canJanky mechanics, 64 player mass races that are ruined by overly aggressive player collision, micro transactions for every cosmetic you’d actually want, paid content not delivered to those who shelled out extra for the special editions, constant crashes, bugs galore, special gear becomes obsolete by the next race/event, can’t sell duplicates or lower level gear and the only thing you can buy with earned money is cosmetics which are so expensive that it takes hours to get one item. Had fun for about 3 hours before the cracks really started to show.… Expand

    With small technical problems, Riders Republic has a story that shouldn't exist. If you ignore the ''overbloating'' of some of its elements as it happens in every Ubisoft title, it is still a great game.

    Riders Republic has managed to tweak the majority of small gripes that were in place in an already fun beta release and in its final version, given gamers easily the best extreme sports simulator on the market - ironically done by embracing the craziness of the sports themselves and making events increasingly zanier as progression is made. For purists, they will find the type of experience that will link them in memory, back to the seasons of being out there on the trails and slopes (or in the air if anyone has actually tried that mental gliding thing). For the stay-at-home gamer, this really is as close as it feels to being out there with the added enjoyment of the extreme element pushed to its… well, extreme, all without a scraped knee or full reconstructive surgery in sight.

    The game crashed on the Xbox Series X semi-frequently, but I pressed on, knowing that right around the corner I was likely to find some new thing that would surprise and delight me.
