Rims racing switch review full#

Sadly, I never managed to truly master the controls and my bike. I played it with assisted control, which would allow me to maneuver through curves better and it would also make the braking mechanic a bit easier. Yes, it’s extremely realistic, and yes, it’s definitely a huge achievement to get this level of realism in a game like this but it also makes the learning curve incredibly steep. I don’t mind playing those but RiMS Racing really is pushing the boundaries here. Just as Timmy already explained, RiMS Racing isn’t meant for those who dislike super realistic simulators. For the sake of the review, I played it on my Nintendo Switch Lite to see how well the game could perform in handheld mode.

Since RiMS Racing was also released on Nintendo Switch, we decided to give it a go on the hybrid console as well. I just felt the entire experience to suck. I love the double entendres that can be made with the title, but enough about rimming and more about failing to produce a game that is open to new aspiring racers. What did I like? Well, simple, I loved flying through the air after missing another curve because the brakes did not work. Sure, all making sense, but stopping AFTER you are supposed to have finished the tutorial already? So many things just do not make sense. I also kind of disliked the double floor to this hub, it is a video game, is it really on purpose to have a working garage spread over 2 levels? I have played many racing games I disliked before, but this one just feels off in so many ways.Īnother way it feels off, in the middle of your first real experience, the race just decides to stop and give you more information on how racing parts are each having their own level of health, and when they are gone, they need fixing or replacing. RiMS Racing is also just a weird game where you are getting a lot of options, but the entire hub where you do things is so simplistic. Obviously, I pressed the home button and this bullshit stopped, but it got me worrying. Sure, that is a great achievement to do, getting your controller to sound like that, but it is scary as hell when suddenly your controller goes into some sort of overdrive and sounds like parts came loose. It was truly horrible, very unresponsive, never getting any seemingly braking action in and constantly crashing into walls or slip and sliding into a sure real-life demise of whoever did the driving.Īlso this game made my controller make noises it never had before, like there were loose parts inside.
