The beauty of Riders Republic is also balanced with inherent absurdity like competitions that place all of its challengers in inflatable mascot costumes (the floppy-necked giraffe costumes are a personal highlight of mine), the larger neon-hued, Hot Topic aesthetic of many of its cosmetics and signage, and the dialogue and music that feel stuck in the late 2000s. Once you get a certain amount of familiarity with the mechanics, there's a thrill in traversing from one course on the map to another on the vehicle of your choice despite the fact that the fast travel option exists.
ONE WILD MOMENT SIMULATOR
The aforementioned Zen Mode feels like the Microsoft Flight Simulator of Riders Republic's various sports, providing a tranquil and satisfying opportunity to spend hours getting lost in the map, but luckily, operating in the main campaign mode gives you countless opportunities to witness that majesty as well. The locations are breathtaking to look at, whether you're racing through a part of the map at 60 miles per hour or using the almost comically slow walk feature. Instead, Riders Republic uses the anachronistic rendering of its locations to create a sprawling but not overwhelming environment, one that inherently invites you to explore. A lesser game would have turned the ever-growing number of competitions and courses into a list of options on a menu, each location disconnected and limited in its own.

The game also offers a "Zen Mode" which removes all of this structure and instead allows you to aimlessly explore the game's massive open world. At the center of it all is the location hub of the titular Riders Republic campground, which gives you access to massive multiplayer races and tricks battles. The campaign mode guides players through mastering each sport as well as the different applications of their skills, including racing and tricks, allowing you to improve your game, get sponsors, and ultimately win championships.
Riders Republic provides players with several extreme sports to master like mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, and wingsuit flying amid the backdrop of real-life national parks such as Yosemite, Grand Teton, and Sequoia.
