Ride 5 is a gorgeous game, and features tons of bikes and racing aids to help you become the best in the world through a deep career mode.

Motorbike racing fans will no doubt enjoy the bulk of what RIDE 5 offers. It’s an improvement visually with excellent haptic feedback for PS5 players, and quality racing simulations. However, it may be a bit harder to convince newcomers or players content with RIDE 4 to spend their hard-earned dollars on RIDE 5 without a more expansive or engaging career mode. RIDE 5 lacks the push in great modern sports games to create more value for the fans behind simply simulating the sport.

Ride 5 makes another small step into the right direction. The overall atmospheric career is a solid foundation, but also lacks additional production-value in its presentation. Ride 5 however does deliver on the track with very playable racing-gameplay, that not only challenges experienced players but also gives newcomers a chance to succeed.

BaziCenter	Amin Balazadeh	8 / 10	08-21-2023	Milestone Studios has once again been able to prove its competencies in the development of a motorcycle game with a proper policy, and the release of RIDE 5 has taken the quality of motorcycle games in the video game industry to a new level in some areas. RIDE 5 is effective, addictive, exciting and enjoyable.	Read review
Chicas Gamers	Estela Villa	Recommended	08-21-2023	RIDE 5 is a different proposal to enjoy the excitement of two wheels beyond the games dedicated to the official Dorna competition. The game has a wide variety of motorcycles, manufacturers and circuits that will not leave you indifferent, as well as a variety of modes so you don’t get bored. All of this added to the physics and variable weather system, together with the different adjustments that we can make to the motorcycles, make RIDE 5 one of the most outstanding games in the motorcycle racing genre.

COGconnected	Mark Steighner	83 / 100	08-21-2023	Ride 5 is not a huge, evolutionary leap from the last game in 2020. Instead, Ride 5 continues to refine and add depth, options, and polish to an already excellent racer. The continued lack of a thorough, step-by-step tutorial is puzzling. Ride 5 has options for inexperienced riders, but it’s clearly leaning hard into being an exacting motorcycle sim for fans of the sport.	Read review
Gameblog	Guillaume Pfeiffer	7 / 10	08-28-2023	Expected by many players after three years of waiting, Ride 5 may well disappoint with its low risk taking and its too great similarity to its predecessor.	Read review

GBAtemp	Ben Sellwood	8.3 / 10	08-28-2023	RIDE 5 is as polished as they come with improvements in every way over its previous instalments, and the addition of a split screen mode is a brilliant feature! The learning curve may be steep but the gameplay is rich and rewarding for those with the stamina and patience to master the courses and each bike’s respective handling.	Read review
Generación Xbox	Luis Falcón	8.7 / 10	08-21-2023	RIDE 5 arrives to propose a new challenge on two wheels. A game that comes to delight everyone, from the most novices to the most experts, its wide collection of aids will allow even that person who has never touched a motorcycle game to have fun with this title. In addition, by disabling all these facilities, more experienced players will also have a good challenge on their hands.	Read review

PlayStation LifeStyle	Tyler Treese	8 / 10	08-21-2023	Ride 5 is yet another impressive offering from Milestone. By focusing on the current generation of hardware, the motorcycle racer isn’t held back and is able to live to its full potential. It all results in a great-looking experience that is easier to get into than ever before and is just as fulfilling to master.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Tony Colton	7 / 10	08-21-2023	While not perfect, RIDE 5 certainly has bags of potential. If you’re willing to put in the time to get to grips with its punishingly realistic gameplay, then there’s the reward of some truly exhilarating first person racing that will have you on the edge of your seat.	Read review
SpazioGames	Giulia Garassino	7.2 / 10	08-29-2023	Ride 5 is not perfect, but it offers enjoyable in-game moments. We appreciate the work of the developers regarding the graphics, sound and animation. The graphics of the bikes is excellent and worthy of this generation of consoles. The soundscape is phenomenal. There is a good level of realism of the bikes and riders. The amount of tracks and bikes available is also excellent. Unfortunately, the driving model is not enough, it is imprecise, especially on the braking system, that makes some races really frustrating. A real shame for a title that, in our eyes, could really be the best of Milestone.	Read review
The Games Machine	Stefano Calzati	7.7 / 10	08-21-2023	I have to be honest, 3 years after the fourth episode I would have expected a more evolved fifth chapter and, instead, net of a decidedly more centered and engaging career, the competition against AI suffers from illogical behaviors that the player is forced to manage manually, while technically there is no current-gen quality leap that could be expected, without the ballast of a cross-gen development. At its best is always Ride, an almost unique game in the panorama of simulation racing and therefore a reference point for those looking for this specific type of experience. But here there is potential that goes far beyond the improvements expressed in this chapter, closer to those of an annual series than a triennial one.	Read review
