When it comes to racing titles on Switch there’s definitely a fair amount of room at the top for competent titles to fill in the generally empty space. I’d say that in particular the off-road racing scene has been dodgy at best to this point. When it comes to MX vs. ATV I’d say there’s a mixture of good news and bad. Starting with the bad news visually the game is sufficient but not terribly impressive either. Though the game has a pretty nice variety of overall environments the textures and sparse nature of them look a bit dated, and some of the physics can look and act a bit oddly at times every once in a while. That said, for its flaws I think there’s enough total content and options you have in the game that off-road racing fans should still be able to eke a fair amount of enjoyment out of it. Whether you like racing on tight tracks in an arena, moving through checkpoints in wildly varying terrain without any strictly-defined tracks at all, or tricking it up for a little fun this has you covered. Sure, the feel is very arcade-y, but that also means it’s a pretty fun time as well. Even with its flaws I’d say this is the best overall off-road racing title I’ve played on the system to date.
