My review :
Instantly enjoyable and playable. Even better when it's raining. After a few seasons away from the series the immediately noticeable positives:
+ Bikes handle superbly for both beginners and experts, with no assists they really do slide around. + The game looks and performs superbly in 4K and up to 120fps, dynamic scaling works well to when it gets buy on track. This is surely the first Unreal Engine racing game that works well, so far games like Gravel have suffered low FPS and odd lighting. + The career mode is engaging, well presented without being over the top and builds up the level of challenge well. + It's an easy game to pick up but is going to take some time to master.
+ The amount of adjustment in the options means a level is easy enough to find for both bike control and AI challenge. + Racing with the AI seems fair, I've seen no crazy AI behaviour and races have been close once I found the right AI setting for me. + Sound is good both the player bike, opponents and the background track noise work well.
From the opening tutorials it's clear this is a Moto GP game that is accessible to newcomers to the tricky world of MotoGP racing and can also be made challenging for the veteran racers. With all the assists on the bikes are point and squirt easy to ride. With the assists off the bikes really start to move around but even then moderate slides are catchable. With the assists off the bikes look just like the MotoGP bikes moving around under the rider.
The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies bikes are a good starting point to the career and the progression system measuring rider performance, braking and throttle seems like a good way to measure progress. Updated to add racing in the rain is superb, the track feels wet and the bikes really slide and slither around with the assists off. One of the best wet race implementations I've seen yet in a racing game.
That's about all I've seen so far and I'll update the review as I see more, initial impression is this is an easy recommend if you are enjoying the real MotoGP racing this year and want the game to go with it.
