MotoGP 23

The most accessible MotoGP to date brings new features that will delight both veterans and novices who are approaching the franchise for the first time. The dynamic climate and the neural assists are definitely here to stay.

MotoGP 23 is not a game for everybody, and even the fans of arcade or semi-arcade racing will probably have a hard time enjoying it, even though there are improvements compared to last year's release, it still doesn't offer enough even for the simulation fans to jump on it right away.

MotoGP™23 is undoubtedly a very successful racing game. The development studio Milestone S.r.l. has proven that no one knows the world of MotoGP like they do. Compared to the previous installment, the game offers an improved career mode, along with new features that effectively ensure each season feels distinct from the last. Dynamic weather can influence the course of the race and does a great job. The visual presentation, within which this element is implemented, really elevates the entire atmosphere. Unfortunately, there are also elements here that knock the title back down to earth a bit. This shortcoming is mainly the sometimes extreme wheelies and rear-wheel lift, as well as the AI, which coordinates with the other racers against you.

MotoGP 23 may well be the best installment of the Milestone saga to date. The fundamentals for this statement are clear: a renewed career mode, much more content and a multiplayer section that seems to have learned from all the mistakes of the past to provide a very good experience for new and veteran players. It takes time to get used to the title, but taking a pole position at the Termas de Río Hondo circuit in Argentina makes each and every one of the falls you will take and believe me they will not be few.

In contrast to last year, MotoGP 23 has already been noticeably changed and improved. Unfortunately, the classic racetracks from the 2009 season have been removed from the predecessor, but we can now even take to the track in Kazakhstan and India, even though these are excluded from the actual race cycle. The improved driving aids make the game much more accessible for newcomers to the genre, and the dynamic weather, including flag-to-flag, add additional nuances to the gameplay itself. In any case, MotoGP 23 is a game for fans, as there are plenty of opportunities to delve into the subject matter and immerse yourself in the sport and the racetracks.

Visually, Milestone did a good job, even if it didn't eliminate some loadings. In any case, the representation of the riders is pleasant and their movements on top of the bike and in response to the contact of the tyres with the asphalt is consistent. Far from being remarkable a great improvement over the past edition but there seems to be some more brightness and color, especially if we control a Ducati rider, perhaps by the red color in contrast to the dark of the asphalt and the blue of the sky. Perhaps only the most diehard fans want to renew and enjoy the new entry into MotoGP. Although with some nice improvements and tweaks, both in the driving, in the career mode and in the dynamic weather conditions, there is nothing substantially new to justify the immediate entry into the tracks. Too bad the absence of the development of the "nine season 2009" mode, which revitalized the mythical duel between Rossi and Lorenzo.

In MotoGP 23 we find again the series' solid driving model, now further improved especially in the braking area. This, however, fails to compensate for major content and technical issues, making it difficult to recommend buying the game for now.

Developer Milestone lives up to its name by reaching one with MotoGP 23, providing the most accessible entry in the series to date, with fancy Neural Aids helping to ease in new players. MotoGP 23 also happens to be a polished, authentic motorcycle racing game that will also please even the most hardcore of motorcycle nuts.

MotoGP 23 offers a refreshing experience compared to the past, with welcome changes to the career mode, new content and a revisited and improved online section

If you like motorcycling and racing, this is your game. MotoGP 23 comes loaded with news that will make you enjoy the races from start to finish and as close as possible to the reality of the world championship. The trajectory mode and the realistic simulation mechanics are all that a game of these characteristics needs. With the neural aids, anyone who wants to enjoy a good motorcycle race will be able to do so without too many complications and if, on the other hand, you prefer realism, you will also have all the options to fine-tune your motorcycle.
