## MAVRIX – Lots of Potential, but the Bike Tuning Needs More Depth **MAVRIX by Matt Jones** gets a lot of things right at first glance. The game delivers a good feeling of mountain biking action and provides a solid foundation for anyone who enjoys downhill and freeride riding. The riding itself and the core gameplay are fun and make you want to go for just one more run. However, one area stands out to me in a negative way: **bike customization and tuning.** At the moment, bike customization is mainly limited to **colors and visual appearance**. For a mountain biking game, I would have liked to see considerably more options. There is currently no real way to build and set up the bike according to your own preferences. For example, I would like to be able to freely choose and combine **brake rotors, brake systems, suspension, shocks, grips, and other components**. Even better would be a proper **fully configurable bike setup**, where you can change not only the appearance of your bike but also its riding characteristics. For example, different suspension setups could affect how the bike behaves on different types of terrain, while brakes and other components could also have a noticeable impact on the riding experience. In my opinion, this would add much more depth to the game while also creating a stronger connection between the player and their bike. Another feature I would really like to see is an **offline mode**. Not everyone wants to or is able to play online all the time. It would be great to be able to launch MAVRIX without an internet connection and still enjoy the basic single-player content and free riding. An offline mode would, in my opinion, make the game much more accessible and independent. **In my opinion, MAVRIX has a very good foundation and a lot of potential.** That is exactly why I think it is a shame that the bike-building and tuning options are currently so limited and that there is no offline mode. A wide selection of parts with meaningful technical differences, a fully configurable bike setup, and the ability to play offline would be major improvements for me. Overall, MAVRIX is an interesting mountain biking game with a solid foundation. **If Matt Jones and the team expand the bike tuning and customization system and add an offline mode, the game could gain significantly more depth and long-term appeal.** **My wish for future updates:** Let us do more than just change the color of our bikes. Let us **build, customize, fine-tune, and ride them offline**.
