F1 2021
The series of F1 20xx has no longer presents the standard extension holder of Formula 1 on consoles and PCs. For the 2021 season, Codemaster gratifies us with an even further simulation, which offers a statement. If the graphics and immersion always push realism further, one can regret that the versions thoughts for the Xbox Series X and PS5 no longer exploit the capabilities of these two machines. Still, this F1 2021 is displayed on the top of the podium for delivering sensations of nerve and precise pipes. Above all, the pleasure of piloting is present at all levels, which one is beginner or expert from the steering wheel.
We salute in passing its history mode, baptized point of rupture, which is based on a scripted adventure between two pilots (a rookie and a veteran of the F1) which is really well built to discover the scenes of this sport. It is even possible to make this career mode with two players to exhaust on the track as teammates. At the same time, all the circuits and pilots are on the starting grid, while the multiplayer mode always proves to be demanding and exciting.

RIMS RACING
True good surprise of the month of August when leaving, Rims Racing is a game to put in the hands of motorcycle fans. This simulation, very demanding, proposed around a small two-wheeled park (eight in total) may seem poor in first glance content, but this production actually hides a strong concept and a much more extensive offer than could believe it. If a matter of driving a bike and turning the gas handle, the developers also developed a less exploited catch in video games: Mechanical classes. And if you like to put your hands in Cambouis, you will be satisfied. Because you will have to know everything about your motorcycle by demonstrating screws, bolt by bolt the mechanical parts that composes it. It will thus be necessary to manage the wear, replacement and resale, tires to the carburettor, through the brake pads, the engine, the gearbox … an incredibly interesting aspect and finally quite pedagogical that injects A little new blood in this type of game. race side, it will be necessary to be pointed and dose skillfully gas and brakes so as not to crush each turn.
