To be honest, while I do love VR I understand the decision not to waste resources on it here. Speaking of VR, there’s no virtual reality support. With that said, RiMS does one of the best jobs yet of trying to communicate these things, so mad respect to the developers for that. A controller just can’t tell you when the front wheel is lifting or when the front-end is about to wash out. Driving a car also requires that connection, but on a motorcycle it’s amplified to an insane degree. Riding a bike is all about feeling a million different little things. See, while I do think that car racing sims can come relatively close to the real thing, I remain unconvinced that motorcycle sims can do the same thing. But for now a controller will have to do, a device which can’t even come close to replicating the level of connection needed to race a bike. If I could get one of those and a VR headset, then RiMS would be mind-blowingly good.
You know the one? You can sit on it and actually lean the bike? Yeah. Well, actually, the best choice would be one of those big bike machines you find in arcades.

I can only imagine how much better it must be on the PS5 with the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback – I did try plugging in a Dualsense to see if any of those fancy Sony tricks would work, but sadly there wasn’t even basic force feedback, making an Xbox One/Series S/Series X controller the best choice for PC gameplay. While I have my doubts that a realistic motorcycle game can truly exist, RiMS does a good job of delivering solid feedback through the controller. And you can see the front wheel start to fold just before it goes, giving you a tiny window to correct. For example, when you wring the throttle coming out of a corner you can feel that rear tire kicking out and trying to throw you straight into the air. A big part of that is managing to provide good feedback through the controller, and RiMS does that very well indeed. So instead RiMS just tries to make it feel authentic without being authentic. I say relatively because translating the feel of a 200HP machine that screams around corners on two tiny patches of rubber is an impossible task. Three selectable levels of realism let you tweak the experience to a degree, but even with the most basic and forgiving physics RiMS is still looking to be a relatively realistic sim game. And throughout the career you’ll be able to partake in championships where the reward is a set of keys to another bike. I’ll come back to that later, but I think this is a smart choice because with just eight bikes to focus on, Raceward have done a good job of making them feel distinct on the track. It’s a curated selection of some of the biggest names in the motorcycling world, and while just eight superbikes might seem awfully small, especially compared against Ride 4’s huge roster of two-wheeled machinery, that’s because the developers have opted to go for high levels of detail and dozens of different swappable parts on each bike. The barebones, linear 70-event career mode is obviously the meat of the game, handing you to the keys to one of RiMS eight lovingly recreated motorcycles: the Ducati Panigale V4 R, MV Agusta F4 RC, Aprilia RSV4, BMW M 1000 RR, Suzuki GSX-R1000R, Honda CBR1000RR, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR and the Yamaha YZF-R1.
With its stated goal of being, “The first motorcycling simulation that combines a realistic riding challenge with engineering and mechanics” how does RiMS Racing fare on the track and in the garage? This time its developer Raceward Studio rolling onto the grid and looking to pick up a win with the poorly named RiMS Racing, which sounds awfully close to some unspeakable act. As someone who was raised by a biker and who religiously watches MotoGP, SBK and WSBK, the influx of two-wheeled racing games has been fantastic.
