Info about RiMS Racing:

Official game description:
A race is not won purely on the track, so you need to become more than a rider by understanding motorbike behaviour like a real engineer. Traction, angle, braking, torque, trajectory, speed… every factor must be considered before heading to the workshop to change certain components and configuring the optimal set-up.
A DREAM GARAGE
--------------
Your adventure starts by choosing your dream motorbike. In RiMS Racing, you can ride the world's 8 most powerful European and Japanese motorbikes: Ducati Panigale V4 R, MV Agusta F4 RC, Aprilia RSV4, BMW M 1000 RR, Suzuki GSX-R1000R, Honda CBR1000RR, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, Yamaha YZF-R1. Recreated with an unmatched level of detail thanks to close collaboration with each manufacturer, these motorbikes also provide a highly accurate and realistic riding experience. They are true rough diamonds that only need a few cuts to shine their brightest!
OPTIMISE YOUR MOTORBIKE
-----------------------
With a mechanics management system never before seen in a motorbike simulation, you can dismantle all your bike's parts to maintain them after each race or to upgrade them and boost your performance. You will become familiar with every last screw in your motorbike. Browse a catalogue of over 500 official spare parts from the biggest names in the industry along with over 200 official equipment items to personalise your rider!
ANALYSE YOUR PERFORMANCE
------------------------
RiMS Racing thrusts you straight into the heart of the action with the Motorbike Status Check (MSC), which helps you analyse your bike's behaviour in real time and understand how to optimise your performance. Brake disc temperature, tyre compound and pressure pressure, suspension behaviour affecting stability, electronic settings… Just like for a real rider, your motorbike's configuration can be adapted to your riding style!
ACCURATE AND REALISTIC PHYSICS
------------------------------
The level of accuracy and details provided by the mechanics management and MSC is matched by realistic motorbike physics that will thrill the most demanding of track racers. But thanks to the various ride assist technologies, less experienced players can still learn the techniques that will take them to the top.
THE MOST ICONIC CIRCUITS
------------------------
Silverstone, Laguna Seca, Suzuka, Nürburgring, Paul Ricard… Travel the world and enjoy thrilling races on 10 faithfully recreated official circuits. For those who prefer roads, five routes in the stunning landscapes of the United States, Norway, Australia, Spain and Italy have been recreated for a different racing experience on two wheels!
MANAGE YOUR CAREER AND TEAM
---------------------------
Career mode in RiMS Racing gives you control of a team. Build your rider by managing their race calendar, choose which R&D areas to invest in, and upgrade the team's skills. If you make the right decisions and improve your racing performances, opportunities with other manufacturers will become available to you!

Feature scans:
- Steam Deck: score 75; verdict: Broken: frequent crashes; summary: The Steam Deck experience is not seamless. Controller compatibility on Linux/Steam Deck is a recurring issue, with Xbox controller recognition failures and trigger mapping errors. Some users can reach a good state only through a guide or launch-option workaround. More seriously, multiple users report hard crashes at the tutorial and career mode start, including refund requests. Positive reports of no crashes and working analog controls exist, but the stability failures are significant enough to classify the experience as broken for a notable portion of users.

- Hardware Profile: No data
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $10.00 - $20.00
  - Reasoning: Reviews show strong price sensitivity. One reviewer explicitly frames around 3000 yen (roughly $20) as acceptable and 4500 yen (roughly $30) as too high, anchoring the upper bound near $20. Other reviews call the game very cheap and worth it despite bugs and limited content, indicating fair value at a low price. Complaints that the game is too expensive for its content and missing features push the fair range downward from premium pricing. Together, these suggest a fair base-game range of about $10 to $20, with $20 as the maximum acceptable and $10 as a reasonable low-end expectation. Confidence is moderate because reviews mix regional discounts and historical launch-price complaints.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: N/A
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: 2.0h
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The only directly supported playtime metric is sessionLength: one reviewer reports a 2-hour practice-mode session, so sessionLength is set to 2 hours. The other quotes report total playtime of about 15 hours and 80 hours, but they do not indicate that the game, its story, or an endgame phase was completed in that time. No review provides hours for completing the game or its story, and the long-term grinding comment is too vague to assign a specific endgame hour value, so those metrics remain null.
- Time-to-fun:
  - Summary: RIMS Racing is often hard to get into due to difficult controls, mandatory tutorial races, technical issues, and repetition, but some players find it highly addictive after getting the hang of it. Casual players can enjoy it sooner with rider assists or immediate stock-bike modes, while others report crashes that prevent progress past the tutorial.
  - Stance: Clicks after
  - Anchor: Getting the hang of the controls
  - Time to anchor: N/A
  - Friction: Very difficult controls; Mandatory tutorial races; Long 25/35-lap tyre wear and endurance tutorials without upgraded bike; Crashes during the tutorial race; Harsh, non-disableable penalty, progression, and wear/damage repair; Poor performance with micro-lags and pop-in
  - Unlock drivers: Turning on rider assists for casual play; Getting the hang of the difficult controls; Using stock bikes for immediate multiplayer, single challenges, or time attacks
  - Conditions: Casual players using rider assists can have fun; Players wanting something more immediate can use stock-bike modes; Players who like Car or Drift21-style games may get hooked; Multiplayer requires reaching Fame level 21, about 3-5 months; Mandatory tutorial races must be completed; Upgraded bike is not allowed in long tyre wear and endurance tutorials
