Ride to Hell: Retribution Critic Reviews

Ride to Hell: Retribution fails to deliver, to say the least. The game brings to the table a lot of good ideas, but the result is poor.

Retribution is filled with so many flaws it’s painful. I’m a fan of Deep Silver’s work, but this is far below their caliber.

Simply a really badly developed game, with a few good ideas nullified by a terrifying technical and artistic production, and a bug-ridden gameplay.

A failed project that should have been scrapped, Ride to Hell: Retribution represents and includes everything bad about video games.

After the latest videos I didn’t expect much, although I was hoping for some kind of entertaining trash. The final result is underwhelming. This isn’t trash – this is just garbage.

With the exception of some Kinect and Wii games that flat-out don’t work, this is the worst video game I’ve played this console generation. Thankfully, it’s terrible in such a way as to make it absolutely hilarious to play. As I played, curious co-workers stopped by to gawk at its unbelievable ineptness.

The motorcycle world and rock and roll do not deserve this aberration, with bugs and very poor graphics. Ride to Hell can go to hell. Sex is not going to be enough.

A startling glimpse into true hell.

A now-linear mess of awful mechanics, broken A.I., and constant glitches that wouldn’t have been remotely acceptable even in the console’s early days.

Genuinely one of the worst video games ever made, where the dry-humping sex scenes are no less confused and impotent as the rest of the gameplay.

Clearly this game was not in a condition to be published. Check it out only for a history lesson of "what went wrong".

Let’s leave it with Jake’s own words, spoken as if holding up a mirror to his own life: “Swear to god - I’d rather be polishing boots than sit through this crap.”

Don’t play Ride to Hell: Retribution. Don’t think about playing it. Don’t think about thinking about playing it. Forget it exists, and continue your life as though it never did.

The camera, controls, graphics, voice acting and combat aren't just broken - they're hilariously broken.
