MAVRIX by Matt Jones is an ambitious open world downhill mountain biking game, currently in early access, that offers players a huge 100 square kilometre playground of downhill race tracks, slopestyle lines and multiple bike parks. It aims to combine creative freedom with competitive racing, featuring authentic physics, dual stick controls, real world brand customisation, sponsorship contracts and online multiplayer with global rankings. The game encourages both casual exploration and high-level competition, whether you want to cruise with friends, find hidden challenges or chase rare unlocks through intense races.
While the foundation is promising, the game's long-term success will depend on the developers focusing on core stability and accessibility before expanding content. Players are calling for serious optimisation so it can run smoothly on a wide range of PCs, an offline single player mode to allow instant play, and the removal of unskippable scenes that slow down the action. If the basics are nailed first, MAVRIX could become a standout title in the MTB gaming space. If not, it risks squandering its potential under the weight of performance issues and poor design priorities.
