Tour de France 2023 Review 

Where do Nacon and Cyanide Studios go with their Tour de France video game franchise ?

It’s a question we’ve been considering for years, having taken in every annual iteration for the last decade or so, disappointed by the most minimal of changes with each new version. In fact, over that time of playing these official video games of the greatest cycle race in the world, we can probably count the number of really significant changes on one hand. 

Although significant new features are the least of the problems. This, as a series, has only ever seen the smallest of graphical changes, and it very much feels like the audio is ripped across from one to the other with each new release. Gameplay rarely changes either. Copy and paste has been the friend of Nacon and Cyanide in the past.

Basic game modes are extremely familiar too – although we understand that only so much can be done with a ‘cycling’ game. Jump on a bike, ride it. With the niche that is being worked with, you can forgive that. 

And so we come to Tour de France 2023 in hope. Hope that the roadbook has been ripped up, new ideas have been implemented and visual changes are plentiful. 

With fear of spoiling the review, those amendments are extremely minimal once again. But, and whisper it, I think that after all these years, things are slowly coming together for Nacon, Cyanide and the Tour de France games. It’s not anywhere near a GOTY contender and it’s still not even the best ‘cycling’ game on the market – hi, Lonely Mountains: Downhill – but the small improvements and feature additions that have been implemented could well make this the best TDF game yet. The bar ain’t that high though and it probably says more for what has come before it, than what is on offer for 2023. 

If you have ever played one of these games before, you’ll know what to expect. If you haven’t, it’s fairly simple. Tour de France 2023 will task you with riding the official route of the 2023 Tour de France, taking charge of the official teams and riders as you go. Whether you focus on one rider, or work your way through the team, issuing instructions as the race dictates, pretty much all your cycling needs and directeur sportif dreams are included. 

Riding tempo, sprinting, chasing down the breakaway as you stay safe in the peloton; Tour de France 2023 works okay as a bike racer. Chugging down energy gels will ensure that glycogen levels stay high too, with you needing to keep an eye on these throughout. Just keep away from the dreaded bonk and life will be fine. If anything, it ensures this doesn’t turn into a full-on button mashing affair.

Taking in stages in real time is more than doable, but it must be said that anyone running entire stages and races at standard speed should be seen as a glutton for punishment. There’s a reason the devs allow for fast forwarding through stages to prime moments, or the opportunity to skip to the end of stages entirely. We’ve never been fans of complete stage skips, but the fast forwarding of the action is an utter godsend. Don’t be afraid to use it. 

Utilisation of tactics and strategy is all part of bike racing and Tour de France 2023 allows for this replication in the virtual world. Yes, you’ll need to become one with the plethora of in-race menus and sub-menus, but once you understand what is needed to ‘enthuse’ your team, all is good. 

The full Tour route is front and centre of this game, but there are other Monuments and Classics also available. Again, there’s nothing particularly new in terms of previous franchise titles, but it’s always appreciated to be able to race elsewhere. The Critérium du Dauphiné, Paris-Nice, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, Paris-Roubaix, the Vlaanderen Classic and Giro di Como are in house. There are even the World Championships at Imola, Dusseldorf and more to take in. Rarely does anything separate these once in-race, but at least these give the chance to test your riding skills over a variety of terrains, including the dreaded cobbles. 

There are also inclusions of Pro Team and Pro Leader modes. As the name suggests, these let you take control of a ‘Team’ or a ‘Pro’, with a faint whiff of Ultimate Team stylings seeping through. It’s not nearly as in-depth as that, but at least you’ll get to create a team of has-beens and whip them into shape over multiple events and seasons, all in hope of eventually coming out on top. Away from the main race events, these could be seen as reasonable feature additions, but again, little has changed from years gone by. 

And then there are the time-limited Challenges of the Moment. 

For us, the short, sharp challenge options found in the most recent Tour de France games have always allowed for a bit of excitement; some quick time wasting opportunities when full stages and 21-race long events are out of the question. 

Tour de France 2023 comes with two options this year – Race of the Moment and Downhill of the Moment. Both are time-limited and running on an ever-rotating schedule (which is fully dependent on Cyanide continuing to support things going forward), as you put your skills to the test and compete against others around the globe for leaderboard bragging rights. Whether it be a few stages in which you are left to post your fastest time, or the ‘A’ button sprint mashing of the Downhill descent one-off events, these once again prove to be highly addictive. Personally we’d like more depth to them, as once a time is set and some points have been thrown onto a leaderboard, it’s very much a one-and-done. But for the competitive cyclists, it’s the closest thing you’re going to get to some multiplayer Tour de France fun. 

However you play, control-wise and Tour de France 2023 is okay. But you may find that actual control of a rider and bike can feel extremely twitchy. You’ll constantly find yourself bumping and grinding other riders too, coming to complete standstills as barriers come into play. But it’s nowhere near as bad as previous games in which riding through spectators and barriers was commonplace, so credit must go to improvement in that area. Never did I think that falling off a bike could be so much fun. 

And Tour de France 2023 actually looks fairly decent as well. Stages are well-created and backgrounds can be detailed – to an extent. It’s a shame that standard cookie cut riders continue to be front and centre though. This is no more true than in the poorly presented, pretty laughable, podium cutscenes that feel at least five years out of date. In fact, they are nearly bad enough to put you off playing entirely as not a single rider looks like they do in real life. Surely some kind of visual representation of our lycra-clad cycling gods should be the next step the series takes…

But that said, there are new bikes and it seems licenses have been established for a number of brands. Cervelo are in place, as are Canyon, Ridley and Specialized, with the Tarmac SL7 sitting in S-Works trim. Yet big names are very much in the minority with generic non-brands still featuring. That may not bother a non-cyclist, but it’s the nerdy detail that is sometimes key to success.

And then we get to the audio and sound. We’re not really sure what we can say about this aside from the fact that it rarely, if ever, excites. It feels phoned in, ported direct from previous games, with just a smattering of new lines included. Ultimately, cycling is a tricky one to get right audibly, and it’s here where Tour de France 2023 utterly fails. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some good detail in the directeur sportif and commentary breakdowns on occasion, but we’ve been left shocked at the repetition and inconsistencies rather than buoyed by the info provided. 

So we leave unshocked by what has been delivered in Tour de France 2023. Again, we are slightly disappointed that we’re once more playing the same game that we have for years gone by. Yet, in there somewhere, this one finally feels like it has just enough about it for cycling fans, or those intrigued by the brilliance of the greatest bike race in the world, to consider jumping in. 

Much like in the real world, as Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard look to repeat the racing of the last few years, Tour de France 2023 continues to run the tried and tested route. However, whilst that real world racing constantly excites and wows, the virtual replication again struggles to reach the summit in the lead. 

Tour de France 2023 is probably the best Tour de France game so far, but don’t expect this one to go ripping up the race. It’s still nothing more than a mid-peloton domestique.

Tour de France 2023: our selection of the most beautiful mountain stages

Inspiration

Cycling Tourism Nature and Outdoor Activities Sporting Activities Mountains

Reading time: 0 min Published on 4 December 2023, updated on 15 April 2024

The most famous cycle race in the world, the Tour de France will be taking to the skies once again this year, as the 3,404km and 21 stages will take in all 5 of France's mountain ranges! The Pyrenees, the Auvergne volcanoes, the Jura mountains, the Alps and the Vosges massif... The peloton has plenty of pedalling to do and plenty of climbing to do. The grandiose landscapes, the high altitude finishes and the dizzying descents promise to be emotional highs. To experience the highs (and lows) of the Grand Loop, saddle up with our selection of the most beautiful mountain stages.

From Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque, the Pyrenees take centre stage

After 3 stages on the Spanish side, welcome to the French Pyrenees! First there's Bayonne and the Basque country, Dax and its thermal baths, Pau and its beautiful castle where King Henry IV was born. And then there's Tarbes, with its breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, its palm-lined streets (yes, yes!) and its gourmet markets. The riders of the 2023 Tour de France will need a lot of courage to tear themselves away from this gentle way of life and tackle the climbs of the Aspin and terrible Tourmalet cols . The reward for all this climbing is a finish on the Cambasque plateau, overlooking the charming resort of Cauterets, in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, where the Pic du Midi is enthroned. Want to cool off? Try the hike to the peaceful Lac d'Ilhéou . In a green setting with magnificent views and waterfalls, picnics and swimming...

The Puy de Dôme, a feast for the eyes in Auvergne

The ascent of Puy de Dôme, the undisputed star of the Auvergne, will be one of the highlights of the 2023 Tour de France! The youngest and highest volcano in the Puys chain has not featured on the itinerary for 35 years. Taking on this fearsome and majestic peak and finishing with a 360° view over the gentle rolling hills of the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d'Auvergne is sure to motivate many a rider! But did you know that you can also climb this peaceful giant by mule track or on board the Panoramique des Dômes, a picturesque little cogwheel train? In just 15 minutes, you'll be transported to an altitude of 1,465 m, with the 80 volcanoes of the Puy range and the Limagne fault (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site at your feet. To complete a stage that's full of fireworks, the Vulcania Park is not far away! Who can beat that?

Breathtaking escapes in the Jura

Expect to fall under the spell of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne! Just 1 hour from Lyon and the Monts du Beaujolais, this small town in the Ain département, from which the Tour de France 2023 peloton will set off on 14 July, is a delightful medieval town. With its pink stone houses, flower-bedecked bridges and old market hall housing one of France's most popular traditional markets, it is also the gateway to the Dombes region, a paradise for fish farmers and birdwatchers with its landscapes of water and ponds. Take advantage of this area on foot, by boat or, ideally, by bike (it's flat!), before taking to the heights of the Montagnes du Jura , just a stone's throw away. The Pyramide du Bugey, from the top of which you can see Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva, is a must-see. The Tour de France riders attack it via the Col du Grand Colombier. At top speed. Take your time, the panorama is well worth it!

In the Alps, between lakes and legendary passes

It's doubtful that the riders will enjoy the view of Lake Geneva as they take their first pedal to the metal in the Alps at Annemasse on stage 14 of the Tour de France 2023. We recommend this one, though, as well as the view of Lake Annecy and its turquoise waters. Then it's time for a series of twists and turns and climbs to the legendary passes of the Alps, including the famous Col du Feu, an unprecedented climb for the peloton. At an altitude of 1,000 metres, in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area, the stage finish in Morzine won't dampen the spirits of those who love nature. In summer, the little village resort in the Alps is an ideal playground for lovers of outdoor activities : a stroll along the Dérêches river, swimming in Lake Montriond, canyoning or via ferrata... the hardest thing will be to choose.

From Gets to Saint-Gervais, Mont Blanc in your sights

For the first time since its creation, the Tour de France will start from Les Gets. Well-known to mountain bikers (the World Championships were held there in 2022), the pretty Alpine resort will kick off a 15th stage during which you'll need to have plenty of breath. The Col de la Forclaz-Montmin is on the programme. So allow yourself a break at its belvedere for a bird's-eye view of Lake Annecy before setting off again for Saint-Gervais, at the foot of Mont-Blanc. If you want to reach the highest peak in the Alps, this village resort, with its well-preserved heritage and traditions, is the ideal place to stop. And its thermal baths, renowned for the many benefits of their waters, set the well-being at the summit in a magnificent green setting.

Courchevel, star of the Alps

The regulars call it Courch' and they come and go summer and winter as connoisseurs, just like the Tour de France caravan which is visiting the Savoyard resort for the 4th time. Welcome to the pinnacle of top-of-the-range skiing in the Alps, at the heart of the Three Valleys ski area. Courchevel tops the list not only for the size of its ski area (Méribel and Val Thorens are its famous neighbours) but also for its range of hotels (no fewer than 5 mountain palaces , from the Apogée to the Cheval Blanc, not forgetting the K2 Palace, Airelles and the Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges) and restaurants. So, with its 6 hamlets and the surrounding area, the resort has a lot to offer. Take a selfie at the top of La Saulire, take a stroll down to Lac de la Rosière, cycle down the Bike Park, spend the night in the Lacs Merlet refuge or hike through the heart of the Vallée des Avals... You're going to love it!

Full steam ahead in the Vosges

Between the Lorraine plateau and the Alsace plain, the Vosges massif lives up to its reputation: a perfect blend of nature, wide open spaces, traditions and local produce, crafts and fine cheeses. Between the Grand Ballon d'Alsace and the Petit Ballon, via the famous Col de la Schlucht, the Tour de France 2023 will be taking a break from the normality of the mountains, with a new finish on the slopes of the Markstein, in the welcoming family resort of Marlstein Fellering. In the heart of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park , you can enjoy bucolic hikes, tobogganing in the mountain pastures, paragliding with a view, and mountain biking (or mountain bikes) in a landscape of absolute serenity. And for those with a sweet tooth, July is the peak of blueberry season (and the season for tarts in the farm inns).

And (finally) Paris.... and the Olympics!

Will the riders be in Olympic form for the triumphant finish on the Champs-Elysées on 23 July 2023? Just one year ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris , the route will certainly provide a magnificent prologue to the sporting event. Starting in Saint-Quentin en Yvelines, all the future Olympic venues in the Yvelines département will be on the peloton's final route. A gigantic loop will join the Colline d'Elancourt (where the mountain bike events will take place), the Golf National in Guyancourt and the Château de Versailles , which will host the equestrian events and part of the modern pentathlon competitions. A prestigious line-up of finishers for a Tour de France 2023 that's sure to be at the top of its game!
