I mean it's as much a freeriding game as SSX is a snowboarding game. Takes some basic inspiration and aesthetic and then goes from there to build a fun game. Which it is! I'm not hating on it, my point was more that I think it's odd that if you want sort of actual bike riding (in the sense that driving in GTA is sort of like driving a car) you have GTA, then the big empty, then the arcade titles, then nothing, and somewhere off to the side is Zwift and Wahoo RGT and the sorts.
