Ski Park Tycoon
I really like tycoon games and amazingly (based on my user name) im a huge fan of skiing as well so I immediately bought this when I heard about it. What I really like about this game over others is that there is very little bothering about with the village, fiddling about with hotel prices is not what I want. It isn’t though only based on the slopes as restaurants and shelters need to be built to be successful. What I also really like in this game is that instead of people appearing at one point in the map isn’t in this game. Instead each map is generated with roads and car parks can be placed at any location flat enough to do so. 90% of the people then spawn at one of these car parks with the rest thought the day. Another thing I really like is the proper animations of people getting on and off chair/drag lifts (cable cars don’t have any animations) instead of teleporting. Personally I really recommend this game to anyone considering it. For anyone wondering about play time I now have 60 hours on this game, I have finnished the campign for the game and am about 20% of the way through the seperate senarios. There are also some addons (senarios but with real world locations) which I havnt even started on.

I love this game. I would definetely recommend to anybody that has a love for skiing or just designing a resort.
Pros
1. Unlimited Mode is very fun
2. All around great game that has no severe bugs that stand out
3. Free Ride is an excellent feature that allows you to enjoy the resort
Cons
1. Campaign too hard
2. Skiers get stuck in some situations and all go into a huge clump
3. Lifts don’t have realistic range and they can’t go over blocked terrain, in most cases

Snow Scout
In this exploration adventure on skis, which is experienced in virtual reality, you take a well-deserved time out. After everything that happened recently, you figure you really need to take a break and get away from it all. You sign up for a volunteer job with the Snow Scouts, a non-profit organisation that runs some ski resorts high in the mountains. You will be responsible to fix up an entire valley all by yourself, only being guided by your supervisor via radio. You’ll try out and open all the different ski slopes, test the snow cover for any avalanche risk, and if need be, set off a calculated avalanche to ensure safety for others. Maybe you’ll even come across some rare alpine birds, get a chance to open new paths and get to know your supervisor - and maybe even yourself - a little better through radio conversations. Up here in this pristine mountain environment, you all alone in nature, nothing can go wrong. Or can it?

Gustav Vasa: Adventures in the Dales
The year is 1522 and the young nobleman Gustav Eriksson Vasa is reached by the news that his father has been murdered in the infamous bloodbath of Stockholm. Understanding that the Danish king Kristian the Tyrant now will hunt him down, Gustav goes on a dangerous journey through the Swedish Dales.
Danish soldiers are chasing Gustav who flees at high speed on skis, traversing the Swedish landscape of the Dales. Reaching village after village in search of help and support amongst the locals. The setting of the chase is beautiful wintery landscapes in 3D. The villages he visits are presented as a stunning 2D sidescrolling adventure that ties in the main storyline in between chase sequences.
This game was built by Ingeborg Asplund, Stanislav Hallberg, Natali Hallberg, Joakim Bengtsson and Gertrud Bondesson.
Features:
• 3D Chase Sequence:
Tense chase sequences on skis through a wintery Swedish landscape while hunted down by the Danish Soldiers firing arrows from their crossbows aiming to kill Gustav. These are challenging and require the player to take advantage of the landscape around them to avoid obstacles and incoming arrows.
• 2DSidescrolller story:
Follow the story about Gustav Vasa a Swedish nobleman on the quest to become king. The story is based on a real historical figure from Sweden and the myths that surround him. The story allows you to participate in key moments in the legend and story of Gustav Vasa, such as his legendary speech in Falun where he tries to convince the Dalesfolk to rally behind him and his final coronation in Stockholm.
• Distinct artwork:
Beautiful handpainted environments and characters in a distinctly stylized art style inspired by classic Swedish artwork from the Dales.
The Ramp
VERY FUN ESPECIALLY FOR SKATERS!!!
The controls took a bit to get used to but very easy and super flow-like once you get the hang of it.
The problems i have is i wish that once you get air you could then grind upon your landing because the orange box in the skate park bowl map just looks way to tempting :)
I do really wish the creator would announce plans for updates like workshop support, new maps, tricks, custom or other characters, and bowl transitions, this would make it feel like less a tool and more of a mini-game sandbox type which it already feels like but all in all the ‘tool’ is worth the money just wish the creator would get serious.

This game does exactly what it says on the tin, and it does it pretty dang well! If you want a game to just relax and unwind to, or you’re looking for a different skateboarding experience, definitely give this a shot. For the price, it feels like a steal! Yes, it only focuses on one kind of skating and I see how that may not appeal to everyone, but what it does, it does really good. The feeling of gaining momentum or just flowing through tricks on the different ramps (there are more than 1) feels incredibly rewarding. Getting the hang of the controls doesn’t take long either. Buy it! Support awesome stuff like this!
