To do so, Kat must help the ghost reassemble a bike capable of the Great Shift with legendary parts, and it doesn\u2019t take long for Wheel World\u2019s formula to unfold: traverse the open world, gain enough rep to challenge each area\u2019s best bicyclist by completing other races, and earn their legendary part. It\u2019s a simple premise, pushing players to interact with the various question marks around the map that are revealed after ringing the bell shrine in each area \u2013 it\u2019s very similar to Ubisoft\u2019s traditional tower formula \u2013 but it gets bland fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The open world is divided into several distinct areas, including a forest location reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest, a Tuscan-like vineyard, an autumnal coast, and more. Aside from visual changes, these locations do little to alter the biking gameplay. Sure, going through vines in the vineyard slows you down, and the forest area has more elevation changes than the coast, but if you stay on the main path of each race, these do little to switch up the formula. And that formula is rinse and repeat. The various question marks on your map become one of three things: a race, a drone from the rarely mentioned Cyclorp company that rewards your efforts with tickets for buying parts, or a bike parts vendor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<article data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"ce858e9d-116a-48b0-995b-648fcbf0577c\" data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"{&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;link_target&quot;:0,&quot;link_original&quot;:0,&quot;image_source&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_source&quot;:0,&quot;image_caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_caption&quot;:0,&quot;content_warning&quot;:0}\" data-langcode=\"en\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2025\/07\/22\/37e1a17f\/wheelworld_screenshot_05.jpg\" alt=\"Wheel World Annapurna Interactive Messhof Open World Biking Game Informer Review\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>Each race begins by talking to a group of bikers, and though they are visually distinct with quirky pun-and-pop-culture-filled dialogue, there\u2019s no variation in how they race. I rarely lost a race and struggled to find any challenge in them. Fortunately, bonus objectives, like finding hidden \u201cK-A-T\u201d letters throughout each race, gave me something to do while my AI opponents struggled to keep up. In a game built around racing, it\u2019s especially disappointing that races never challenged or surprised me. Even the courses themselves are uninteresting, save for the occasional jump shortcut. And even worse, the courses bounce between uninteresting and annoying, especially in the game\u2019s final area, which introduces an abundance of urban architecture and plenty of vehicles that get in the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The physics behind collisions, whether with other racers, vehicles, or buildings, often feel broken and unfair. Colliding with a fellow bicyclist mildly breaks the game, throwing me way off course in a way that doesn\u2019t make sense. Sometimes Kat bounces right off vehicles; other times, she crashes, and when you crash in Wheel World, you\u2019re set back seconds in the race, often placing you in last place, even if the other seven racers were previously so far behind you couldn\u2019t even see them. This was the only challenge I faced: crashing, unfairly being placed way far back, and having to catch back up to first place. But racing is so easy that catching up presented no provocation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<article data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"6314f602-49c1-45ec-959e-2049a0e3f91f\" data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"{&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;link_target&quot;:0,&quot;link_original&quot;:0,&quot;image_source&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_source&quot;:0,&quot;image_caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_caption&quot;:0,&quot;content_warning&quot;:0}\" data-langcode=\"en\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2025\/07\/22\/ba63be7e\/wheelworld_screenshot_08.jpg\" alt=\"Wheel World Annapurna Interactive Messhof Open World Biking Game Informer Review\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>Even the bike itself doesn\u2019t feel great; it\u2019s serviceable at best, and when its physics feel off, it feels like biking through slime. There are plenty of parts to find around the world (one of the only reasons to explore off the beaten path), and even more to buy from vendors using tickets you get from completing side gigs like finding hidden jumps, but no matter how I customized my bike, I felt little variation in how it performed. Picking parts that made the stat bars go up served me best, even though Wheel World attempts to push you to rebuild your bike in various ways; for example, rebuilding my bike for off-roading racing might decrease my acceleration but yield better grip, theoretically making for a better experience over gravel and dirt. My road-ready bike still won off-road races with ease, though, and customizing my bike with various parts I found quickly lost its luster.\u00a0<\/p>\n<article data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"dd16bb46-f953-45fb-a0d1-d7014f9f9d9d\" data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"{&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;link_target&quot;:0,&quot;link_original&quot;:0,&quot;image_source&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_source&quot;:0,&quot;image_caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_caption&quot;:0,&quot;content_warning&quot;:0}\" data-langcode=\"en\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2025\/07\/22\/a06a38ef\/wheelworld_screenshot_06.jpg\" alt=\"Wheel World Annapurna Interactive Messhof Open World Biking Game Informer Review\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>While the bog-standard races around the world, which I completed to earn reputation, bored me, I held hope that the races against each region\u2019s best bicyclists would present something more enjoyable. But nope; not only did these races feel like any other, I often laughed at these legendary riders struggling to stay ahead of the other racers. I laughed even harder when they would hit a vehicle or structure and bounce around wildly until they landed off-screen. I\u2019m still unsure whether that\u2019s a feature or a bug. I experienced numerous other issues while playing, including egregious pop-in, weird and erratic lighting, and more; I hope the console versions perform better than Wheel World did on my beefy PC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My biggest issues with the story and dialogue were most apparent in these legendary races. After beating the vineyard region\u2019s top racer, she said something along the lines of, and I\u2019m paraphrasing here, \u201cOh wow, you beat me on my own turf. You\u2019re a great racer.\u201d And then I\u2019d receive the legendary part and continue on to the next region. For all the buildup of these top racers, they feel paper-thin. Wheel World does nothing to justify their authority in this bike-centric place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A last-minute twist attempts to change the formula with the aforementioned new setting, but it\u2019s the worst of them all, and the question marks become the same old races, drones, and vendors. This leads to the game\u2019s finale, which is disappointing and feels unfinished. I was shocked when the credits began to roll after four hours. It felt like something was missing \u2013 the game was really over? Those were its final moments? Admittedly, Wheel World does little to build up this finale or any of its narrative, to be frank, but the climax of this adventure rolled along like a popped tire, not the triumphant ride I was promised with the Great Shift.\u00a0<\/p>\n<article data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"37faa4f0-3a3e-4584-a853-2789e6d3cdd9\" data-embed-button=\"image_browser_uploader\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:file.body_default_rendered\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"{&quot;link_url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;link_target&quot;:0,&quot;link_original&quot;:0,&quot;image_source&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_source&quot;:0,&quot;image_caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;embed_caption&quot;:0,&quot;content_warning&quot;:0}\" data-langcode=\"en\" class=\"embedded-entity\">\n<div class=\"file file--type-image file--mimetype-image-jpeg file--view-mode-body-default-rendered\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-uri field--type-file-uri field--label-hidden gi5-uri gi5-file-uri field__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gameinformer.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2025\/07\/22\/e4b21156\/wheelworld_screenshot_10.jpg\" alt=\"Wheel World Annapurna Interactive Messhof Open World Biking Game Informer Review\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" class=\"image-style-body-default lazyload\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>There is one bright spot in Wheel World, though, and that is its soundtrack. It\u2019s a phenomenal selection of tracks, the highlight of each legendary race, and something I can\u2019t wait to listen to when it\u2019s available outside of the game. Curated by Portland and West Hollywood-based independent music label Italians Do It Better, Wheel World\u2019s soundtrack is one of the best of the year. It\u2019s a shame the music was one of the only highlights and not a complementary harmony to the rest of this adventure, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wheel World is an amalgamation of boring races and exploration, poor storytelling, and often clumsy gameplay that never felt great. Its unique art style and excellent soundtrack feel wasted on what\u2019s here, and the premise of the game is more exciting than anything that actually happens. When I crossed Wheel World\u2019s finish line, I felt nothing about what I had accomplished, instead feeling more excited to get off this bike for good.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wheel World\u2019s unique visual style, laid-back nature, and delightful soundtrack promise an inviting adventure set atop a bicycle in a world where they\u2019re more common than cars.
