Unfortunately, the gameplay in Ride to Hell: Retribution isn't much better, as many aspects of it feel broken, frustrating, or unfinished. Overall, the story in Ride to Hell: Retribution feels clumsily written and amateurish, with some serious missteps at every turn. The supporting cast of characters are either offensively underdeveloped or simply act as a way to move the story forward. Jake is a decent protagonist with an interesting backstory, but he does so many unlikable things that it's hard to root for him. More often than not, it tries to imitate better games like Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned but to poor results.

While this all sounds interesting at a surface level, Ride to Hell: Retribution stumbles a lot, rarely offering anything noteworthy or interesting.

As his vengeance grows and Jake works his way up the totem pole, he meets some new friends who are willing to help him on his bloodthirsty quest. Refusing to end the cycle of violence, Jake pledges to earn his revenge against the Devil's Hand and begins snuffing them out around town. Unfortunately, during an encounter with a group of rival bikers known as the Devil's Hand, Mikey is killed and Jake is injured. Although things are tough at first, he eventually grows accustomed to life with his younger brother Mikey and Uncle Mack, who are part of his biker gang. Ride to Hell: Retribution takes place in 1969 and follows Jake Conway, a biker who returns home after serving in the Vietnam War.
