I can almost hear the entire internet raise an eyebrow with this entry, but please, hear me out.

I know that Ride To Hell: Retribution is a terrible game, in fact, it might well be one of the worst games I've ever had the displeasure to play. It's a broken mess of shoddy fighting and driving sections and genuinely feels like the budget for this game was whatever was scrounged out from the back of the couch as only this lack of care and finance could explain the lack of polish present at every turn.

However, deep under its well-baked and filthy crust, is actually a story that could, and I want to stress could have actually been pretty decent.

Think about it, a war veteran returns home to a country that's grown strange to him, his family is being pulled apart, and all he wants to do is reconcile with his younger brother.

Though awkward at first, the vet and his brother begin to bond over their love of bikes and soon the pair seem to be building a once-burned bridge. However, in an unwarranted scuffle with a rival biker gang, the vet sees his brother get his throat cut and thus sets him on a path of vengeance.

Now that actually sounds pretty decent right? Well, that's because it actually could have been! It's just a shame that the only decent slice of narrative in this game was dealt with in the first ten minutes before the dross of the main game actually started to kick the piss out of your patience!
