### 4/5 — It’s good but I wish it was free roam

*2026-03-22, version 2023.10.04*

I wished that this game can be free roam so that we can roam around on the hydrojets and even drag race on open water

### 5/5 — Very gud

*2025-09-15, version 2023.10.04*

Is good men

### 5/5 — A true mobile classic of the post-2010 era

*2025-08-31, version 2023.10.04*

Title says it all. One of the best games out there.

### 5/5 — Класс

*2025-04-27*

Веселая и задорная игра. Музон хороший. Ощущения будто играю в asphalt 8 в 2014. Именно такую игру и хотел найти

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2025-03-07, version 2023.10.04*

It's a good game

### 5/5 — Let’s race

*2025-02-03, version 2023.10.04*

I know a good and challenging racing game when I play one. Yeah it’s easy until the final race with krex but if you’re smart you can beat him and that’s the bottom line because I actually have done it be smart and you can win any challenge in the game

### 5/5 — Riptide GP: Renegade

*2025-01-05, version 2023.10.04*

This game was my go to when I was 9. I love this game so much you should try it

### 5/5 — Nice game , futuristic game

*2024-10-01, version 2023.10.04*

I love it

### 5/5 — Game is good

*2024-05-12, version 2023.10.04*

worth paying $4 on this game

### 5/5 — Cool

*2023-10-27, version 2023.10.04*

It is so awesome!

### 5/5 — FANTASTIC

*2023-07-12, version 1.2.2*

ITS A VERY ADDICTIVE GAME BUT NEEDS SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO MAKE THE GAME MIRE INTERESTING

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2023-06-06, version 1.2.2*

I played this game a lot on Xbox and I am so excited that I can play it on my phone. It’s amazing. My only issue with the game on mobile is when you do tricks such as Rockstar, double front flip and/or double backflip where you do the same action twice, the game never registers that I am doing it. It does it when I’m not even wanting to do one very rarely. So it’s like I’m wasting my skill points on nothing because I can’t even do the skill when I want to.

### 5/5 — Best game of 2023 too!

*2023-05-06, version 1.2.2*

This is hands down my new favourite game on iPhone 13 Pro Max, and possibly my favourite game of all time. The graphics are unreal, the “feel” of riding/driving is perfect, the stunt combinations make “sense” to perform, it’s smooth, graphically pleasant and doesn’t heat up your phone like others. Super fun, the speed of levelling up doesn’t get exponentially worse over time like every other game on the App Store right now. Doesn’t limit game play. Perfection!

### 5/5 — Un des meilleurs jeux IOS

*2023-03-11*

Super jeu de bout en bout, riche, graphismes super pour un petit prix, bémol sur l’adaptation sur les nouveaux écrans 16:9 a partir de l’iphone X mais on comprends que le jeu n’est plus MAJ depuis 3 ans. A part ça nickel, je recommande, encore meilleur a la manette

### 5/5 — Macht Spaß!

*2023-03-01*

Toll designte Level; fordernder Spielaufbau, der jedoch nicht frustriert; schöne Story und angenehme Steuerung —> rundum gelungenes Spiel, das seinen Preis (3,50€) absolut wert ist. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung von mir :)

MEIN KLEINER COUSIN LIEBT ES AUCH haha

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2023-02-23*

Насыщенная крутая игра, не банальная очередная тупая аркада (как вторая часть).
Физика, динамика, управление - здесь все живое. 
Про русский язык отзывы не понял, а вам он зачем? Вместо start - старт?🤦🏻‍♂️
В общем качайте)

### 5/5 — Not pay for play

*2023-02-21, version 1.2.2*

A nice game with clean code and no marketing junk or pay for play gimmicks. Awesome soundtrack.

### 5/5 — I really love it

*2022-11-19, version 1.2.2*

This game is cool and I love the game and the graphics and maybe you should add more games featuring this like riptide the future 
Or like of the games but yeah this game is probably the best game I’ve played so far

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Gemini

*2026-02-02, version 2023.10.04*

Did not receive Gemini on my Xbox. Contact support, asked to submit video, which I did but never received any replies afterwards.

### 1/5 — It’s good, but it’s not good enough to be two.*

*2023-08-20, version 1.2.2*

It’s really good game until you get to a certain point where it gets too hard then you won’t be able to do anything you won’t be able to get money you won’t be able to get any of the other vehicles you won’t be able to do anything

### 1/5 — почему игра становится платной только тогда, когда нажимаешь загрузить

*2020-12-05*

я не скачал игру. не могли бы вы вернуть списанные средства

### 1/5 — The worst game ever over and game

*2020-04-04, version 1.2.2*

I want my money back it is a hot bike doesn’t steer right

### 1/5 — crashes

*2020-03-22, version 1.2.2*

glad i paid for this app just to have it crash every time i open it

### 1/5 — Riptide renegade

*2019-11-20, version 1.2.2*

I used to love this game but it won’t open with the new iOS update. I’m not sure what to do

### 1/5 — Siri Remote is not working

*2019-11-03*

Dear developers! Your game is not supports Siri Remote: I cannot press any button excluding “Continue”. So I cannot skip notes on start and cannot navigate on game menu and cannot play the game with full functionality. Apple TV 4K. Please fix it!

### 1/5 — tricks

*2019-09-09, version 1.2.2*

ipad. tricks to hard double and triple impossible. shame

### 1/5 — Not letting me do the stunts I want

*2019-09-02, version 1.2.2*

No matter what I try I keep doing the wrong stunt sometimes it works but I feel there is no method just your awful touch controls. I checked a hundred times and it also makes the first freestyle race (as I started yesterday as of writing this review and have made some progress) impossible because I can’t get enough points to get three stars! Fix your touch controls or maybe add a practice mode to figure out my mistake whilst not in the thick of a race

### 1/5 — Difficult to control

*2019-05-26, version 1.2.2*

For $2.99 they should make the controls easier. Waste of money IMO.

### 5/5 — Amazing and nostalgic

*2026-08-08, version 2023.10.04*

Played this since I was three absolutely brilliant game probably my favorite game. The graphics are good, gameplay and story is amazing and I like the characters. Overall great game 5 stars.

### 5/5 — It’s the best game ever! In my whole life!!

*2026-06-25, version 2023.10.04*

Best game ever

### 5/5 — Best game of all time!

*2026-06-08, version 2023.10.04*

One of if not the best game I have ever played extensive career mode with amazing physics and unique gameplay when it came out in 2016 and still amazing in 2026. I can only hope for a sequel!

(Best £2.99 I’ve ever spent)

### 5/5 — Vector Unit is amazing

*2026-04-05, version 2023.10.04*

I love this game, it’s one of my favorite
racing games I’ve ever played and my favorite mobile game of all time

### 5/5 — Like the game but salom is too hard!

*2026-02-11, version 2023.10.04*

this is a genuine 5 star. the racing is so satisfying but the salom mode is hard for me i am having a hard time beating it so ive been playing other games.

### 5/5 — Blown Away

*2026-01-27, version 2023.10.04*

This game is crazy good right off the rip but I really love it now that I’ve adjusted to the controls and changed tilt to arrow (personal preference, I guess. This game is fun, the graphics, physics and sound effects are top notch (love the Doppler effect) and the playability and variance make it fun to come back to again and again. I don’t do much online stuff so I’m only playing career and single race and it’s WELL worth the price tag.

ONLY COMPLAINT SO FAR? would love to be able to adjust the size and positioning of the directional arrows, boost etc. (like on Wreckfest). Love this game!!!

### 5/5 — Bestes spiel der Welt

*2025-11-22*

Bestes spiel der Welllllttttt

### 5/5 — Bast all time water racing

*2025-10-24, version 2023.10.04*

This is a great game yeah it’s not perfect but the reason I put a five down is because no other game is so much in depth as far as a water racing game there’s many regular street racers but this is the only one that looks great and it feels great. Kudos to vector unit and their great ambition on creating games.
