I have enjoyed the hell out of Riders Republic. One big issue is that it is cram packed with cosmetics, DLC and “live-service” features. If you’re able to ignore that noise there is a lot of game to love underneath. Of course you can’t really own it, since it’s live-service, but I still feel I got well more than $40 of fun out of it

I’ve played it! It’s more arcade-y than the base game. The maps are small and focused, with more of a focus on the events and curated slopes than exploration. It’s a little clunky IMO, but still very fun.

fr, unless you’re horizontally scaling something or managing hundreds of services what’s the point
