First Play: Watch us crash in RiMS Racing in more ways than one

We check out Nacon’s hyper-realistic motorbike racing simulator

This is a blog post, where VGC writers post irreverent and (occasionally) entertaining coverage of video game culture.

There are plenty of realistic racing games out there, but RiMS Racing takes things to a new level.

As you’ll see in our First Play video, simply getting round the track on its default settings can be something of a challenge. This is a game that has to be mastered over time, not one you can nail in an hour.

Naturally, then, expect to see plenty of crashes in our video… including an unexpected crash of an entirely different kind.

RiMS Racing is out now on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch and PC. The version shown in our video is the Xbox Series X version.

First Play is our new video series designed to shed light on new and upcoming games that may be hovering underneath the radar but are no less worthy of your attention.

For each First Play video, we’ll run our capture unit, turn on our microphone and play each game for the very first time, meaning you get to experience them while we do.

For all intents and purposes, they will act like the initial stages of a review. If we see something like or dislike while we’re playing, we’ll call it out, and we’ll give a summary of our initial views at the end of the video. Naturally, though, they shouldn’t be considered a definitive verdict on the game – they’re just a way for you to see what it has to offer.
