bikes – Gaming with Noobs

Hello today we talk about Tour de France 2026 but first a huge thank you to Nacon and Cyanide Studios for sending me the game to review its greatly appreciated.

First off ive never played a tour de France game my gaming goal for 2026 was to branch out and try lots of different games and tour de France just happens to be a game genre ive never tried or played before so lets talk about my experience.

First off thankfully there’s a tutorial now i played this game on PC and right off the bat it will tell you use a controller so I did. Now the tutorial is divided into 4 parts each explaining different aspects of the game as well as how to play what to do and what to watch out for. But even with all this I failed miserably on my first major match.now I went into this game thinking I could just peddle all out and thats how I would win but man was i wrong.

The game has a system that basically limits you so you cant go all out you have to play smart and its the first thing you learn in the tutorial but even with all this I kept getting tired out i kept losing to exhaustion and frankly it was pissing me off to the point I wanted to put my fist through my monitor ive never played a more frustrating game before then tour de France sure call it skill issue tell me to get gud but when you literally get over exhausted every few seconds because of this system its total bullshit I went from mid pack to 1st down to 5th then to dead last thanks to this stamina system which is total bullshit.

My issues aside the game looks beautiful the scenic views of France and its towns are a sight to see the handling was great it and played very well on my pc, this game has a learning curve one I clearly couldn’t overcome but yes I do recommend it simply for its beauty alone.

So thank you to the devs for sending me the game maybe down the road ill try again to see how bad I get my butt kicked but for now ill retire thank you all for stopping by take care and game on
