In the world of Monster Energy Supercross 25, the game offers a mix of arcade and sim bike racing mechanics that should excite any fan of the series. The dual stick controls for steering and weight management add a layer of complexity, making it a thrilling challenge to navigate through the tracks. However, the game falls short in delivering intuitive turning physics, leaving players frustrated with the lack of responsiveness in tight corners. Additionally, the animations lack the fluidity and realism one would expect, detracting from the overall visual experience.
Despite these shortcomings, Monster Energy Supercross 25 does impress with its attention to detail in track visuals and the addition of new tracks like Glendale Stadium. The inclusion of terrain deformation and weather conditions adds a level of realism that enhances the overall gameplay experience. However, the lack of variety in rider control and bike feel may leave some players wanting more diversity in their racing encounters. The game's tutorialization also leaves much to be desired, making it challenging for newcomers to grasp the intricacies of the game mechanics.
In terms of game modes, Monster Energy Supercross 25 offers a range of options including single player events, a workshop for customization, and a career mode with a typical progression structure. While the AI shows slight improvements from previous iterations, the physics model and AI behavior still present challenges for players looking for a more immersive racing experience. Overall, Monster Energy Supercross 25 may cater well to die-hard fans of the series, but for those seeking a more polished and intuitive gameplay experience, the game may fall short of expectations.
