Tour de France 2023 

 

I have been playing the Tour de France video games for some time now. I do one live stream a year of these racing video games. Much of Tour de France 2023 is comfortable and feels like the previous years. There are a few nuances that I ran into while playing Tour de France 2023 though. I ran into problems making certain things work. I also cannot figure out how to pick up more water during the race.

Normally what happens to me in the Tour de France video games is I blow myself up too early and do not have enough energy to sprint toward the end. Tour de France 2023 was a little bit different. I did not blow myself up too early. In fact all these other racers went past me and I wound up finishing with all kinds of energy left over. The announcers are not always very helpful with that.

I feel like Tour de France 2023 is trying to teach us to stay with the herd. Although I wonder what it would be like to get ahead early and then pace myself to the end. I wonder if that would result in a victory. Tour de France 2023 contains a variety of different updates to it. There is still only one racer model and two ladies that hand out the award. The dresses on those ladies change with each racer they award though.

We can race the twenty-one stages within the real race in Tour de France 2023. There is training within Tour de France 2023 if you want to learn how to play the game. I found the controls continue to be annoying. It is also a pain to hold that trigger button just so to stay at one speed. I ran into issues getting the follow another racer to work. I ran into issues with the water. I really had to dig into the controls to figure out how to do some things.

The edges of the road contain invisible walls in Tour de France 2023. This year they stop us drastically and we get stuck. In past years we could use the walls to slow down. I am not a fan of that change because tapping the brakes almost completely stops us. I had to go overseas to get a physical copy of Tour de France 2023. I also had to deal with an audio copyright claim on my live stream. I feel like Tour de France 2023 should be better.
