Tour de France 2021 – PS4 Review

Sports titles often get a lot of flack for making minor changes on a yearly basis. Cyanide Studio’s long-running Tour de France series often feels like stagnating under the pressures of an annual release schedule. Whilst tweaks and new features are mooted, I can’t help but feel this year is a case of deja vu.

Controls remain the same with pedalling and braking being controlled by the two triggers. From there, you have the shoulder buttons available to increase or decrease your rider’s effort and use square to follow another rider. Circle gives out team instructions which allow you to switch riders or instruct them to do specific things. The tactical element has always interested me about the series and it remains largely intact and untouched. You can order your team to chase down leaders, give the team leader more protection and generally use it to dictate the pace of your race. It’ll always be interesting and works as intended.

From this screen you can also advance time which thankfully doesn’t seem to put you at any disadvantage. The race overlays do also let you know if a key stage event is coming up like a mountain ascent or intermediate sprint. For those that don’t want to participate in a real-time stage, it’s a useful tool and can really slim the stage down to the parts that matter.

Cyanide Studio have stressed they’ve improved the Peleton behaviour to allow rivals to race closer and keep the yellow jersey towards the front of pack. This works but I still find early breakaways will always happen. I haven’t really had any stages where the whole pack plays things a bit more cagey. Objectives before a stage have seen a revamp. You can now select them rather than having it assigned to you by default. It gives you a chance to manage expectations on your own terms.

Aside from the Tour de France, there’s plenty of other things for budding riders to engage with. Pro Leader and Pro Team modes return and the calendar is bolstered by plenty of races. Some of these are official like the Paris-Roubaix and Criterium du Dauphine. It brings a decent amount of authenticity with it but unofficial races also beef up the options. It brings the total of Tours to 11 which is a sizeable chunk to get into.

Playing in real time does get you that marathon feel. Your team radio gives you plenty of feedback from what’s happening around you and how the race is going. It’s a shame you’ll hear those lines again and again. If you’ve played any recent Tour de France games, you’ll find a lot of the chatter familiar. It still doesn’t quite replicate the travelogue feel of a live broadcast but the route is littered with enthusiastic fans and some sights to see.

It’s a pity the engine hasn’t taken a step forward. Despite the licensing on offer, every rider carries the same model. Only the uniforms keep them apart and this is all in spite of most riders having portrait pictures in menus. The stars of the sport get really undersold by this approach. On top of that, there are still technical hiccups. Returning from a fast-forward can cause the engine to judder and it does tend to hitch in spots.

That’s arguably Cyanide Studio’s biggest crime. For all the Tour de France games they release, they don’t change much in style and presentation. They run on the same engine with the same problems and, despite the licensing, it’s not used to really give the riders a sense of identity. For newcomers that want a cycling game, this is fine but veterans will be hard-pressed for anything in hand over the previous efforts.  There’s no big sea change and, whilst the tactical elements are well explored, the approach to really showcasing the locales of the tour feel lacklustre.

Tour de France 2021 5 Overall Pros + All teams are represented. + There is a strong tactical backbone to the racing. + Plenty of races and modes to dig deep into. + The improvements, however slight, do improve the Peleton behaviour. Cons - Feels incredibly recycled and stagnant. - Riders still carry identical models on track. - The engine can sometimes struggle to keep up with what's on screen. - Not a lot new here for veterans to really justify the purchase. Summary Tour de France 2021 feels so, so familiar. Whilst the upcoming 2021 tour is replicated in its entirety, there's little new here. Tweaked Peleton behaviours will improve your experience but it's an experience wrapped in the same tired engine. The license brings a lot with it but I'm still puzzled by a roster of identical riders that show a real lack of individuality. Fans will enjoy the mountain of content but it doesn't really feel fresh to me in any major way. {{$data | json}} -->

New features: -All 21 stages of the 2021 route faithfully reproduced - A redesigned My Tour mode with more customisation options - More realistic peloton behaviour - Revamped objective system - A new recovery mechanic - Official brands (Lazer, Specialized, Vision, Rudy project, Corima, HJC, Canyon, POC, Merida) - Updated database (riders, ratings) Play as your own rider or manage your team In Pro Team mode you lead a team that must prove itself to reach the top of the Pro Cycling team rankings. Your team starts at the bottom, but you may be invited to take part in the major races if the organisers see that your results are good enough. You can create and gradually level up your own rider in Pro Leader mode as you strive to become the next cycling legend to compete with the likes of Primoz Roglic, Tedej Pogacar and others. You can choose from four different profiles: climber, sprinter, puncher and versatile. Your choice will be crucial if your aim is to win a Grand Tour or be a specialist in the Classics! Create your own Tour My Tour mode has been redesigned to offer you more freedom. With the new interface it is now easier to customise your "My Tour" (rest days, stages, teams). You can now choose the list of participating teams and national teams. Choose from 89 stages to create your race. Enjoy a wide range of content The game includes the 19 World Tour teams and their jerseys as well as the teams Alpecin-Fenix, B&B Hotels P/B KTM, Team Arkéa - Samsic and Total Direct Energie. There are also many official races (Paris-Roubaix, Paris-Nice, LBL, etc.) More realistic peloton We have redesigned the actions of riders in the peloton to recreate the behaviour found in real races: -Favourites ride closer to each other - The yellow jersey is better placed at the front of the peloton -Pursuit of the early breakaway is more realistic with fewer teams getting involved, which gives the leader's team the upper hand, just like in real life - Teams that want to catch the breakaway but don't attack or that reduce the peloton in the race on the flat now have consistent behaviour Revamped objectives Before the start of each stage, you can now set the objective for each rider thanks to a new "Select Rider" page, which includes all the information you need to make a choice (ranking, role, race-day condition). Your choice obviously influences the behaviour and decisions of riders during the race. A new recovery mechanic Our aim is to offer better visibility of change in condition and to give more importance to riders that recover well in the Grand Tours. Recovery between stages and races is crucial for the success of your riders. In Tour de France 2021 , we have developed a recovery profile based on the recovery rating. The lower the rating, the more the recovery profile penalises the race-day condition.
