April 2025
I bought this game on 3 different devices: the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, Nintendo Switch Lite, and now the Steam Deck. I never got to fully complete all the races on any of them, the game just got a bit too grindy later on. But I can't say that I regret buying it so many times. It's just a solid, well-made racing game sold at a very cheap price. You'll at least get 5-6 hours of fun out of it.

I played so much of this game on mobile when I was really young, and I had to get it on my computer to just experience the graphics. It is soo ridiculously good for its time

Great jet ski game! Really good soundtracks. I really like the game's soundtracks. But the first Riptide GP was the best I played on my father's tablet when I was 9 years old :'). The good old days... It would have been nice if you could have gotten it from Steam 10/10

Pros [*]A pretty fun experience that is pretty unique as far as racing games go. There are stunts you can do that feel really satisfying when you learn them and are able to time when to do them in the races. [*]Played very well on the Steam Deck. Cons [*]Not enough single player content, and or levels. Overall Playtime 10hrs in i have 3 starred all events and i'm a lv23... I have 5 hydrojets, fully upgraded 4/5 of those, but only ever used 3/5 of them. The only things i could do now is try to race online (not really interested in that, but might for the achievements, maybe.) or just reply the races, and earn more money to buy and upgrade the rest of the hydrojets. Conclusion This is one of, if not the best racing game you can play on the steam deck, but unless your playing it in short bursts you will run out of stuff to do fairly quick. I think it's priced fairly, and was a lot of fun for it's value.

What? A review for this game in 2024? Yes sir! While I fastly prefer the sequel Riptide GP: Renegade because it's generally an improvement in every way there is just something about the clean stages that make you feel like you're participating in a sport and the much more upbeat music giving off these summer vibes that keep me comming back every now and then. I tend to play the mobile version a lot more tho, which explains my low playtime.
