 So the Riders Republic is a game many people including myself have been waiting on for a while. Upon those first trailers we originally got ages back, many of us felt if done right this game could be incredible. Today I give you guys my honest thoughts on the game after receiving early access to a pre-release demo thanks to Ubisoft. Now I will state, although I appreciate Ubisoft reaching out to me it won't influence my opinions on this game and what you'll hear from me today. How's it going guys my name is DPJ and if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe. So Riders Republic like I said is a game many of us were excited to learn more about. I personally only really watched the original trailers ages back and then if I'm honest didn't keep up with the information dropped on the game after that. And if you were the same you'd probably like me I'm going to be surprised by the type of game this actually is. So Riders Republic combines many forms of racing into one game, downhill mountain biking, road biking, skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, windsuit flying and much more. It combines all of them into a single game. And although you would probably feel that say a lot of mechanics too perfect, and although I'd agree with you when you think like that upon actually playing it, it does well for your kind of perfected. Now I won't blabble on too much about each instance and available racing option you have in the game because I do have videos on my channel dedicated to each kind of a race this game offers. But I will say this it feels great. In fact it feels great to a point it plays better than I thought it would play go enough gameplay trailers. Biking feels rewarding, snowboarding is incredible, skiing is absolutely brilliant probably my best and air racing is challenging but worth the effort in putting in that time. And then we have the tricks and the things you can do which are a massive part of this game too. And it's quite frankly so good it's unbelievable. When I first watched the trailer for this game I did think yeah tricks would be there to use but it's more about that serious racing. When playing I didn't feel this was the case whatsoever. And the trick aspects to this game is a major major part and it's so fun to try and perfect. Also the things you can pull off are incredible. Imagine a combination of SSX tricky, Matt Hoffman's BMX and Tony Hawk's all those great action racing games and trick based games rolled up into one. That's what we have here. I mean yes some races are determined by winning in pole position while others are purely dedicated to points earned based on tricks landed. Now another thing which seriously surprised me was the fact it isn't set up how I thought it would be. I really thought this game was basically going to be a race to race game. Nothing in between. But it isn't. In fact what we have here is basically a massive open area for you to explore and go where you like. Which behold race tracks, stunt tracks, secrets and much much more for you to find while you travel to races or wherever else you want to go. The game's also home to a kind of social space where you can pick up challenges, sponsors, visit shops by gear, by cosmetics, customise your player, gear, racing loader and much more. And this is without mentioning the many many other forms of game modes this game offers. Like mass races that are timed events which is basically 64 players all facing off against each other. We have modes where you face off in a multiplayer team in what can only be described as a trick off where the best tricks landed, win certain points on a map which determines the game. And this is really just a tip of the iceberg in what this game offers guys. Now not many people would be wondering about micro transactions which I feel you here but from what I've seen everything that can be purchased for that real life money can also be purchased for that in-game currency too known as box which from me and my experiences doesn't seem too hard to earn at all. The game also has a massive levelling system which is just staggering. You can earn sponsors, gear, I mean you name it this game does it but to be honest you would kind of expect that. So yes guys I won't lie after watching the initial trailers my hopes were set high. Due to the scale Ubisoft challenged themselves with what they showcased was enough in this game but the reality is after playing just the demo my expectations have been trumped and the game is much bigger and much better than I ever thought it would be and the game I thought was going to be more so in the direction of a simulator but to tell the truth gave me more sort of vibes I used to get when playing old school games like snowball kids and the Nintendo 64 all those years ago. So yes Riders Republic releases on October 28th on all platforms if you've seen the trailers and it's a game you think you may enjoy odds are guys you seriously will and on that note the end of the video has arrived remember to check out my channel for many many more Riders Republic videos in terms of an in-depth look at the customisation the social hub all forms of racing that was available for me within the demo and much more but guys if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out if you're new around here want to see more be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button my guys thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I will see you on that next one
