Ugh, MX vs. ATV: Legends is a huge disappointment. The tracks look nice, but the physics are completely wonky and the online multiplayer is a mess. I expected some bugs with a new game, but this just feels unfinished. There's a decent track editor, and maybe they'll fix the issues with patches down the line... but right now, this one's a hard pass unless you're a diehard fan of the series.
This is the single most unfinished game i have played in my entire life, but I loved it. I have finished all the career in 1st place and got a platinum in this game, which says something.
With all its flaws, I have to say that bike mechanics are marvelous, it is a joy to ride in this game, you feel in the moment. It challenges you on harder tracks to remember a better line, to feel how far should you jump and how hard you hit the ground. Loved the tricks you can do, although most of them are janky.
Now to the fun part, the negatives:
1. Everything I said about bikes is not as much applied to ATVs, but UTVs are absolute trash, these are just bouncy boxes with no weight, no steering at speed (at all, also the handbrake doesn't help) and even AI can't drive these things (I always lapped these idiots).
2. Speaking of ai, to be fair, they get the job done (except in UTV), but HOLYYY they either slow as shit or kick up the rubberbanding (even if they are in front of you) and launch to space from a tiny bump, which makes levels where you go straight pure luck, especially if you are going for the 1st place. These dudes will also not hesitate to ruin you life by hitting each other causing traffic jams or straight up kamikazeing into you. Because they don't abide to the laws of physics, it is straight up (almost) impossible to get the first place on some levels, as these mf absolutely fly in sections where you for example struggle for grip.
3. The music is trash. There are approximately 5 songs which are bad. One of the jams is no joke called "Garage UI music_V1" 💀. So I just used a phonk playlist on Spotify which was perfect for this game.
4. It gets really repetitive sometimes since you have to play the same exact tracks multiple times, even in the same class.
5. On bikes the dude seems to fall of for no reason whenever you land on anything other than a downward slope. I understand that that's fair for high jumps, but sometimes you just die for no reason.

Terrible launch and by the time the game was playable it was already lost to all the other games that came out throughout the year. Probably wont ever play it again.
