High-speed action on two wheels, a deep career mode and a new assist system - MotoGP 23 showed up on bike racing fans' radars with considerable promise. Now, Milestone's latest entry into the series of games about the pinnacle of motorcycle racing is here - join Marvin from OverTake for a closer look at the game.
With the AI in the predecessor being one of the main gripes of series fans, MotoGP 23 had some ground to cover in redeeming the computer-controlled opposition's antics. While the AI may not be less hungry for a fight, the new Neural Aid System can help with that- whether or not you want to leave it switched on is answered in Marvin's review.
Bonus Circuit in Kazhakstan
Content-wise, MotoGP 23 comes with most of the things players would expect: The full 2023 grid is present, as is the calendar - the latter even with a bonus circuit: While the Grand Prix of Kazhakstan at Sokol International Racetrack was initially scheduled for July 9th, the race was canceled due to ongoing homologation processes and "current global operational challenges", according to the official MotoGP website. A five-year contract had originally been agreed upon for the event, meaning it should make its debut in 2024.Meanwhile, MotoGP 23's career mode has been expanded and now features Turning Points, during which players need to make a decision that impacts how their career progresses. Rivalries with other riders are also a possibility, all fueled or possibly settled via interviews and a fictional in-game social media network.
