  RiMS Racing becomes an enjoyable simulation racer for those who really want to wrench their bikes down to the last detail. The parts catalog is incredible, and the immersion factor is interesting if you are the kind of person who enjoys doing the work at your own pit stops during a race. The graphical downgrade on the Switch casts a pale shadow on what is otherwise a solid yet difficult game with occasional obtuse vehicle handling.

  RiMS Racing is a super complex motorcycle sim that provides players with a ton of depth in terms of tinkering, tuning and customising. However, once on the track, this Switch port is let down badly by performance issues that make it a frustrating, messy experience. There's definitely a market for this type of in-depth motorbike action on Nintendo's console but, in this state, it's very hard to recommend diving into this particular offering.

  RiMS Racing is a decent first attempt into the racing simulation genre by Raceward Studios, with good racing, a detailed career mode and attention to detail on the bikes higher than any other game in history. On the track, it's rare to find a game that gives you the feel of a bike as good as this.

  RiMS Racing is an amazing racing game in which you can drive some of the fastest production motorcycles in the world. Having to manage your driver, team and ride can prove to be difficult at first, but the game will gradually become easier as you learn to get the hang of things. Everything feels nicely balanced and replacing broken parts with performance ones is the best way to upgrade your deteriorating bike.

  RiMS Racing has earned its place as one of the most immersive motorcycle racing games to date, with the PlayStation 5 taking this a step further thanks to the DualSense controller. While there aren’t many bikes to choose from, the unmatched level of customization and fleshed-out Career Mode will give you plenty of enjoyable hours to test and upgrade your bike. The multiplayer holds very little weight to the RiMS Racing experience, but the Career Mode does a good job of creating an enjoyable single-player game.

  Finally, it seems we have some competition in the superbike video game space. RiMS Racing is a solid start from RaceWard Studio, and they should be proud of what they have built. From here, expanding upon the bike roster should be priority number one, because we are spoiled for choice in other bike racers. Just the thought of this team getting their hands on new bikes to scan, model, and record gets me excited in much the same way as hearing Polyphony Digital does the same thing to add to their roster of cars.
