  All in all, MotoGP 21 makes some very calculated and deliberate steps forward this year, it’s clear Milestone wanted to focus on some of the nuances of the sport and bring a more realistic and involving experience to bear. Their awareness of new player onboarding to the series is admirable and the tutorials make for a great entry point for fence-sitters. An exceptional racing model and well-realized vision make MotoGP 21 a great option for fans of two wheels and may even win over some of the players on four.

  MotoGP 21 is a great choice for newcomers to the series as it introduces a rigorous tutorial mode that will get you playing and having fun in no time. However, returning fans might be disappointed to see that this year’s MotoGP game is mostly the same as last year’s with an included bike retrieval mechanic. Overall MotoGP 21 is still the premier motorcycle racing simulator on the market with the best feeling racing experience for both newcomers and veterans.

  The steady improvement of MotoGP continues with MotoGP 21. The move to the PlayStation 5 affords a bunch of benefits inherent to the latest generation of consoles, and having a race load in a handful of seconds is such a nice luxury. The inclusion of the DualSense’s haptics is appreciated, as a useful feature to tell when tires are losing their grip.

  Admittedly MotoGP 19 had some pretty gnarly whiteouts during sunny races, so it's nice to see those retina-destroying moments are gone, but in its quest for a more realistic look MotoGP 21's lightning sucks some life out of the environments.

  All of this new immersion really gets you leaning into those deep slants around corners that motorcycle racing is all about. Very exciting stuff! No doubt, I wouldn’t be as enthusiastic about this game if it weren’t for the PS5 DualSense controller. Milestone has gone the extra mile with MotoGP 21, even having an enhancement roadmap you can view on their website.

  MotoGP 21 is yet another slow, tentative step forward for the bleary-eyed series. There are clear improvements visually, with the physics, and with a few new features to aid realism. However, for every improvement, some areas are showing their age or have abandonment issues.
