#MXGP 2021 PS5 REVIEW SERIES#

No bother I thought to myself as I restarted it, I navigated back to my career mode and was greeted with a message from my rival commiserating me on my losing the race. I crossed the line and the game blue-screened. The first of these I took to, I was in first place for the entire event, opening up a fairly respectable lead. These are triggered through an in game phone call from a fellow racer. Additionally, there are invitational 1v1 events in career mode, to sort of prolong it and provide some variety.

ItвЂ™s not all smooth sailing though вЂ“ screen judder is visible at times, whilst the bike is flying through a stage, at points it feels as though entire frames are skipping and the track is almost semi stuttering toward you. Give it a go on a very long straight, but be ready to flick back to third-person. ItвЂ™s fun as anything, but my word, difficult. There are some immersive graphic choices when racing too, including mud and water screen splashes which help to add to the tension.ДЇor those brave enough you can also race in first-person. Mud is torn up and scarred, rain pools beautifully, smoke billows from in-crowd antics. The game itself is incredibly pretty to witness, if you get a chance to sit back and enjoy it, however youвЂ™ll most likely be tearing around the track with no scope to check out anything other than what is immediately in front of you. Why youвЂ™d do such a thing is beyond me, but different strokes and all that. or you can actually pay for (using real money) a credit multiplier if you feel that you want everything now, without working for it. The bigger teams such as Red Bull KTM & Monster Energy are gated behind XP walls вЂ“ all achievable in game through progression. Each sponsor offering different amounts of credits for the win, second or third places. ItвЂ™s fairly basic and has no real trimmings, but you should be able to make a track in little time, once you get the hang of it вЂ“ with the close to zero guidance the game provides.Д¬areer mode is par for the course with the usual elements such as choosing sponsors and climbing the ranks. I spent a good deal of time making and publishing a track in the editor (again, spurred on by the promise of a trophy). There are a delightful amount of modes to keep players busy in MXGP 2021 including career mode, time attack, GP, Championship, a playground mode to make your own way point challenges, multiplayer lobbies and even a track editor. I digress, but the above should be a warning to you if youвЂ™ve not played the franchise before and are anticipating a casual racer. The game took me roughly 4 hours of on track time before I felt comfortable enough to slide up the AI difficulty and actually not use the rewind feature, encouraged heavily from MXGP 2021вЂ™s PSN Trophies, one of which surrounding not falling off your bike and not using the rewind feature in the same race. It was essentially cheating, but I felt I had no choice. I did manage a podium (third) on my first race вЂ“ however, I will add that I used the rewind function to undo many, many mistakes and counter many AI overtakes. yet the learning curve here is something quite unlike anything youвЂ™d see away from pure sim racers, typically found on PC. IвЂ™d opted for Very Easy AI opponents from the off, knowing I was bound to experience difficulty вЂ“ and as predicted these so-called very easy opponents ruined me. And true to form MXGP 2021 certainly wasted no time in pulling my trousers down and giving me what for. Hours spent feeling deflated at coming last in every race. I vividly recalled nightmarish introductions in prior year MXGP titles. MXGP 2021 indeed looked the premium experience, and IвЂ™d not even so much as revved a bike yet. A banging soundtrack sat on stylish user interface.

I was initially impressed with 2021вЂ™s presentation. No bother, I gave MXGP 2020 a review score of 7.8/10 and praised its 60fps and use of the DualSense, however, some 10 months later and many PS5 experiences now under my belt it was going to take more than 60fps and some subtle rumbling to impress me. вЂњBut hadnвЂ™t I just put down MXGP 2020?вЂќ IвЂ™d thought to myself as 2021 installed on my PlayStation 5, and upon checking can confirm that indeed I had only grabbed вЂњlast yearsвЂќ offering in January of 2021, with MXGP 2021 landing in my inbox in November вЂ“ just 10 months later.
