There are several different control schemes to manage, but they are all so closely related that jumping from one to another barely feels like a change at all. Wingsuit events score you on just how close you’re willing to get to the ground, as well as trees and cliff faces that you speed past.
Tricks are tight and exciting to execute, as you match the rotation of your character to an ever-evolving landing slope.
What’s most surprising is that Riders Republic manages to nail every single one of these event types. There’s a rocket wingsuit that’s akin to Marvel’s Falcon, and a set of transportation options called Funkies that encompass rocket skis, pizza delivery bikes and more. Trick-based events give you a set number of moves to pull off within a time limit, urging you to take a moment to plan out routes and maximise air time.
There are downhill events that task you with holding on for dear life as you careen down mountains and over ridiculously massive ramps. Riders Republic features a genuinely overwhelming amount of extreme sports disciplines.
