MotoGP 23
MotoGP 23, développé et publié par Milestone, est sorti le 8 juin 2023 sur PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 et Xbox Series X|S. Classé dans les genres course, simulation et sport, ce titre fonctionne sur Unreal Engine 4 et est proposé au prix de 29,99 euros. Selon les données de complétion, l'histoire principale demande environ 12 heures, tandis qu'une approche complétiste peut atteindre 43 heures et demie. Le score OpenCritic du jeu est de 77 et sa note agrégée s'élève à 78,50.
Le jeu propose le championnat officiel 2023 avec quatre catégories au choix : MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 et MotoE. La carrière a été renouvelée et permet de débuter en Moto3 pour ensuite gravir les échelons selon les résultats, en gérant des rivalités et des points de bascule. Le joueur peut développer sa moto, surpasser le pilote principal ou changer d'équipe, tout en interagissant via des réseaux sociaux en cours de partie pour nouer des relations qui se prolongent sur la piste. Parmi les nouveautés figurent la météo dynamique et le système Flag to Flag, qui obligent à changer de moto au moment opportun pour gérer les averses ou éclaircies. Le multijoueur s'enrichit du cross-play, de courses classées et du retour du split-screen local à deux joueurs, ainsi que des LiveGP. Pour rendre l'expérience accessible, un système neural d'assistance utilisant l'intelligence artificielle intervient lors des moments cruciaux, et la MotoGP Academy propose des entraînements ciblés par circuit. La personnalisation est possible via quatre éditeurs graphiques pour autocollants, casque et numéro.

God is a Geek indique que « MotoGP 23 has added dynamic weather to make racing a whole new beast, and the Career mode is a solid feature to keep you hooked. ». En revanche, certains joueurs expriment des réserves : un joueur sur Metacritic estime que « The game is good, the graphics are good at times and at others quite simple. The big problem with this game and the previous ones is that the gameplay is not v… », tandis qu'un autre joueur Steam déplore que « La physique est bizarre, il n’y plus de gestion d'argent, n'y de développement moto avec les ingénieurs. Les menus ne sont pas agréable, bref je retour sur les… ». Un joueur Steam positif s'interroge quant à lui sur le cross-play en notant « Il devait pas y avoir un cross-play avec toutes les plateforme? enfin c'est ce qu'ils avait dit », et un joueur Metacritic qualifie le jeu de « Jogo lixo, a moto é incontrolável. Impossível de jogar isso, pelo jeito eles são incapazes de fazer um bom jogo de moto. »

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« MotoGP 23 is the qualitative leap that the Milestone series needed. We are not talking about revolutions, it would be unrealistic to think so, but about consistent improvements in all the characteristic aspects of the title, from the simulation verve through an engaging career, from a high-profile technical sector to the physical and mental sensations of the race, where the AI exhibits new behaviors although some issues still persist. »
« MotoGP 23 has added dynamic weather to make racing a whole new beast, and the Career mode is a solid feature to keep you hooked. »
« This year’s entry adds the new features fans were expecting, but also makes it more accessible for new players, which can be the key for some people who were waiting to give the series a try. »
« MotoGP 23 polishes the fantastic simulation of the saga in a little more with little new features and options for novice players; but it is a very continuous and conformist delivery that knows little. Only the biggest fans of motorcycling or players who have never experimented with the franchise will get a good performance out of it on the track. »
« On the track, MotoGP 23 is a great and satisfactory simulator, despite a lack of technical improvements. Unfortunaly, we miss some single player content, maybe based on a historic season, riders, etc... »
« MotoGP 23 is a solid successor fort he racing-series, but has a lot of flaws, that prevent the game from hitting a mainstream-appeal. Presentation outside the races is bland, the career-mode lacks overall depth and the racing-gameplay is still too difficult to attract fresh players. »
« It’s hard to wholeheartedly recommend MotoGP 23 to anyone but devout fans of the sport, especially with Nine Season 2009 gone without anything to replace it. It’s a solid racing game with some decent updates, but it’s not the most generous when it comes to content and it fails to cater to newcomers without basically taking control off of them. Ultimately, it may be out of date now, but most are better off sticking with MotoGP 22 for another year. »
« MotoGP 23 is a completely competent motorbike racer that those who know and love the sport will likely get all the enjoyment out of it that they can hope for. A fabulous customisation system and best-in-class racing mechanics mean there is very little competition out there right now. However, a lack of beginner-friendly tutorials keeps this game from being enjoyable to the masses. It’s a sim racer by design, and as such, casual fans are better off looking elsewhere. »

« The game is good, the graphics are good at times and at others quite simple. The big problem with this game and the previous ones is that the gameplay is not very accessible for those who are not familiar with it. There are some tutorials but the learning curve is very high and will put a lot of people off. »

« Worst racing game I've ever played and one of the worst games I've ever played. Nothing in this games works properly, even the AI can't race it's that bad, they just constantly crash and go flying off the track. Unbelievably bad game. How anyone can give this anything other than a bad review is baffling. »
« Worst race game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! »
« The latest installment brings the entire season 2023 update and, as expected, some improvements in all aspects of the game »
« The basic layout of the game is the same again. Graphically ok, but sterile given whats possible these days. The lack of a proper story mode and/or rewards will keep the series a niche forever. The game tries to create life with lame ”tweets” from other riders and with uninteresting social relations smoke screen. The physics are the best part of the game and offer much more depth and satisfaction than Ride 5. The enjoyment of the ride keeps bringing me back, while the rest of the game is standing still. In addition to more content, I would finally like to see the some though put into the experience as whole. No telemetry still? Why couldn’t my time trial leaderboard rank be shown live on the hud? Why can’t i set a default setup? How about showing the loaded setup name in the pit menu? Warmup lap still cant be done like in RL. How about some actual team interaction regarding sector times, tire wear, bike handling? You know, racing stuff… »
« In spite of the improvements in career mode and the addition to dynamic weather (the latter being and annoyingly long-awaited feature), the lack of classical bikes and riders and a story mode (something like Season 09 in MotoGP 22) makes this a disappointing iteration of the series. Sure, it's nice to have new objectives in career mode (a game mode that has been largely overlooked throughout the series) and the flag-to-flag races can add a strategic factor in some cases. But Season 09 was the highest point in the entire franchise and I was hoping to see a follow-up of that mode in the new game. And not being able to race with Vale, Doohan, Hayden, Stoner, Biaggi or Barros is very sad. »
