The best of the best.

All played in the first 18 hours of purchase, to say i've enjoyed it is an understatement.
To which I look forward to more enjoyable buggers and even better experiences.

Still fun has hell.

Another disappointing release, good on yous.

Very enjoyable game, highly recommend if a game lacking polish here and there won't ruin your experience.

Removed playability for Steam Deck users two weeks after release and many hours in for users resulting in them no longer being able to play or refund. Don't know about you lads, but that's somehow scummier than most tactics they've used in past years. Let portable players use their Decks with EA games!

Would change the review from Negative to Neutral if I could but since one can't the Negative better states at least my feeling on the game.

- No options for simulating to the next event in the stage, like skip to 1-5km's out that way you can't prepare your rider for a strike or food/water station where you can use them for any last bits before they get replaced.

- AI around many corners can be quite poorly comedic but damn do they need an increase in the I department of AI. Hopefully when done they're not made brokenly OP doing full speed around 90 degree bends.

- A yearly released franchise that has a sister game released the same day with features that could be combined into 1 possibly worth it title instead of some Pokemon like scheme that has never been consumer friendly and never will be.

Section for original review and statement around it.

Randomly worked for me after giving it one last shot after the patch, wasn't in the notes so i'm guessing it was accidentally fixed. Here's to when they change the name to 2025 it stays the same with some solid to improvements to the game.

13/06/24 Original review - I really wish I was joking just for my own sake, but second Tour De France released game in a row i've run into the same save ending bug. Simulating through the Tour De France tour as my team hasn't qualified in which it's stuck on the final stage once more, being unable to complete it and actually experience the franchise past the first half of a season.

Can't believe how long it took for me to give it a go, but damn is this game a classic.
If the game interests you at all, go for it as you won't regret it.

Incredible story, graphics and creativity.
Ohh and the music! Reward yourself and play this incredible piece.

Completely unable to simulate passed the Tour De France's TT every save and couldn't find any solutions through the last couple of iterations of the game. Currently unplayable from what i've experienced, would appreciated assistance as I would modify the review but until then it's gonna stay.

Phenomenal Game, had 0 issues during my play to which it was the embodiment of quality over quantity. Can't wait to experience the sequel and soon to be joined by their upcoming third release in the series.
