Trials® Rising
Long story short: This is an AWESOME Trials game, but one slightly marred by its flimsy online components and the occasional weird design decision.
THE POSITIVE
The tracks are fun, start off easy and get really difficult, and look gorgeous to boot. The gameplay is ~perfect, like it was in Evolution and Fusion. (Thank god they dropped Fusion’s FMX stuff, though.) There’s also a ton of content, and the difficulty level rises way more sensibly than before; even new players are unlikely to suddenly hit a snag and get their career and fun ruined too soon.

There are a lot of negative reviews left for this game. most of which i understand why. So many people have been complaining about the game being a ‘grind fest’ to unlock more tracks. now whilst there are a lot of tracks ive never had to play the same track over and over just to unlock stuff. I have however, occasionally had to grind a couple contracts to level up and get more tracks but i never felt like it was excessive. there are a lot of easy and medium tracks and it can feel a bit slow paced when you first start. but if you put the time in you’ll be rewarded with those classic extreme tracks we all love so much. if youre a new player then chances are youll never have to grind as youll be learning as you go. but for returning players you may feel its a little slow at first as youre grinding tracks that are far too easy for you. as for the stadium tracks. many many players seem to dislike them, however ive always found them rather enjoyable. short tracks that involve mostly accelerating and braking as opposed to lots of tricky jumps. youll mostly just be trying to hit the optimum line like any other tracks but its much shorter. i found them a fun switch up from the usual tracks. although some of them are a little annoying and require small amounts of luck to get the higher medals (im looking at you bali stadium tracks) the majority were quite enjoyable to play. HOWEVER a very big and extremely irritating mechanic, is that you cannot view anyones replay on the stadium tracks. why? no clue! but you cant view them. not even your own. you also cant race against them. this makes the leaderboards a record of achievements and not much else. this makes learning the optimum line more tricky but equally more rewarding. Now onto the skill games. oh boy.. how i dread the skill games. the majority of them are mostly fine but i have some bones to pick with a few. lets start with bomb bouncer. one of the first ones you unlock. the skill game requires you to throw your player into bombs and land into them, trying to fly as far across as you can. and its fun! when it actually works. see the player has a tendency to glitch into the ground like its a giant quicksand pit ready to absorb your player. sometimes you can land into a bomb directly yet your arm will still morph into the ground and thats it, game over. its extremely frustrating. the new loose screw now has safe zones rather than a metre that you get before the tire falls off. now if you touch the front wheel down and you arent in a safe zone, BOOM your front tire explodes and game over. im not sure how i feel about this one but i know im bad at it and its frustrating to play. now a general issue with the skill games is that about 70% of the time when you restart the skill game (pressing the back button) all the HUD overlay that tells you things like time, distance etc etc just vanish. my going theory is that these bars get shy when it comes to skill games and retreat to the depths of game code and take a lot of prodding to convince to show themselves again. This again isnt a massive issue but its mildly irritating. Now the real annoyance when it comes to skill games.. let me first explain, when you play any trials track or stadium track etc etc restarting before you finish always skipped that 3 second countdown it does before your first run of the track right? well im not sure if its new to rising or not but when you cross the finish line, if you press restart itll save ur time and progress hence any new pb will be locked and saved, yet it will still skip that 3 second countdown. its great! and its so much more enjoyable to play. however they for whatever reason decided not to include this feature for the skill games. and if you crash, explode or otherwise fail or fault the skill games, and THEN try to press restart, youll have to endure that 3 second countdown again. which sounds petty to complain about but when you grind them for over an hour 3 seconds adds up quickly. and for ones like hill climb or loose screw you obviously always want to try to save yourself when you nearly fail, causing this issue to become even more annoying.

Food Delivery Battle
Update 9/3/2021:
This day marks the end of my food delivery career.
After a fierce battle, my arch nemesis “NiiChungShanChiiShingChun” beat my WR, ate my tofu and had sex with my wife. In the past, everyone respected me and looked up to me, but now even beginners laugh at me and call me a pathetic loser. I put my life into this game, poured thousands of dollars into my bike, practiced every corner at least 100 times a day and then NiiChung came and took everything from me.
I hate you Niichung…

Simple but very fun little Crazy Taxi like game. Deliver food, earn money, upgrade your bike, it’s that easy. There’s 3 different stages (so far), 2 different game modes, and also supports using your very own VRoid character.

Lonely Mountains: Downhill
So, this is that kind of game where it looks really cool, but you’re kinda on the fence about it… will it turn out to be really fun, or is it one of those that looks cool but ends up being a dud? Then you check the reviews and find out all kinds of stuff about the camera angle, etc. If you’re like me, you’ll sit on the fence about it for a while, wondering… will it be worth it? Or am I going to be disappointed?
Verdict: Totally worth it. I was actually shocked and ended up REALLY loving it. It’s one of those kind of games where you think, “Ok… got a few minutes to kill… I’ll run a couple trails, then get back to sweeping the floors.” Five or ten minutes later, you check the time and it has been an hour and a half.

Review by Gaming Masterpieces - The greatest games of all time on Steam.
|
Is this game a masterpiece? Nope, but this doesn’t prevent me having a ton of fun with it.
It is a bicycle downhill racing game. Learning it is as easy as the real thing, just sit on the bike, pedal, steer left/right, brake. Everyone can ride in seconds. Riding is easy, but the problem starts when you race. Downhill. One mistake and you crash over a rock, against a tree, down a canyon… or just along the path, your bike on your head and blood squirting everywhere. Hehe.

Racing Bike Fight (Corona Virus Lockdown Special)
Feel like Zorro on a motorbike and “Wooosh!” enemies of their bike with your chained lasso or avoid obstacles and fight hovering boss cars. It’s a simple but addictive racing game with catchy music.

In General, I liked the game, and it is not expensive at all. I do not regret that it is in the collection.Although the game is for an Amateur.

RIDE 3
First Person Pilot
I was hoping this game would exceed Ride 2. Best Roadracing motorcycle game in my opinion. IT DIDN’T!
Cons:
1. The cockpit (first person view) is messed up. Feels like you are riding too far back and up like pushing a wheelbarrow (needs a more racier tuck). Second first person option is better but blurrier (far worse than Ride 2 first person view). You can’t even see the gauges properly (triple tree in the way on some bikes).
2. Anti-wheelie is a joke even turned off. Ride 2 you could power wheelie with just the throttle on the liter bikes coming over a rise in 3rd gear. Ride 3 you have to lean back. Even then it don’t work past 1st gear on most of the bikes.

As someone who has had this game since a few days after release, I’ve genuinely enjoyed the game and have gotten lots of hours out of this game. I’ve also bought all the downloadable content and I still have stuff to do. The game has a nice selection of bikes and great graphics. They put some triple A titles to shame with such graphics. Ride 3 also has an awesome bike customization feature and can make some bikes really feel like they’re your bike. They also have a bunch of gear, such as helmets, pants, jackets, complete race suits and different animations for your riders style.

FutureGrind
Initial play-through of all major content in the game took about 4-5 hours, once I started to go for highscores on tracks, my playtime exceeded 40 hours lol
Though rather simple, it is a very polished game in all regards and pretty much nails everything it attempts to do.
+Great Visuals
+Good Soundtrack
+Solid Controls
+Difficult, but not unfair at any point time.
Overall, great game, if you like challenging platformer style games I would recommend this one for sure, especially if you enjoy leaderboard competition.

A really nice and addicting arcade game. It seems very simple at the start. You have a bike with two rotatable color coded wheels and you have to grind rails with the wheel of the corresponding color.
But, as the game progresses, new hazard are added to tracks to increase the challenge. Also, every few tracks you get new bikes that behave very differently from each other, so you have to adapt to multiple playstyles.
The main goal is to reach the end of the track by finding a perfect route. The arcade part comes in the score you get at the end of the track for flips, tricks and combos, and hunting for Diamond trophies can get really addicting. You also unlock 2 bonus missions per track after beating it, giving it some replay value.

Watch Your Ride - Bicycle Game
pros - Nice, took few hours to complete main campaign, but it also has procedural infinity mode where you can play as much as you want, also replay some levels to get achievements. Has multiplayer and splitscreen mode, but havent tried yet.
cons - not too much levels (around 50 tracks), will wait for update, hope dev will add more
– Real player with 2.8 hrs in game
Watch Your Ride is an intensely fun, nonstop action, deviously challenging game. If you’ve got a grudge to settle with a friend, this is the perfect way to do it. You’ll be bouncing between the amazing thrill of victory and the crushing shame of defeat at a ridiculous speed.
Technically speaking, the game runs smooth and we never encountered any problems with bugs, bad UI design, etc… The art looks great, the levels are well designed and tough, but fair. The local multiplayer is where this game really shines, though. There’s no way we could possibly describe how fun this is to play with friends, so just check it out for yourself!

Bike of the Wild
Holy **** this game is amazing! At first you start out in a dull grey area but once you get the controls down you emerge into a huge, incredible, open world. Once I saw the giant food as I came out of the starting area, I just knew I was going to have to climb it. So far it has taken several attempts but I am definitely getting better.
Check out this video of my progress:

First day playing the game and put almost a full hour from the get go. I found it randomly and it looked interesting enough. Once you get the controls down (just play the tutorial, it’s that simple) and you’re off! I think you’d enjoy this game if:
-You’ve always wanted to be a sentient bicycle
-You enjoy classical music
-You enjoy relaxing exploration
-You enjoy wacky and zany games
It sounds like most of the map is open to get to, but it does seem like the cool spots are blocked off (?). The castle, the ice structure, the rainbow… I’m sure it will take a long time to get to but it’s still a fun experience and can be relaxing if you just listen to the music and ride. My bike’s name is Geoffrey ^_^

Urban Trial Tricky is a freshly ported banger straight outta Switch. First released in mid-2020, Urban Trial Tricky brought in a fantastic mixture of two fan-favorite series, Tony Hawk and Trial Xtreme, on a compacted scale and with so much more.

## Bike Baron 2
Bike Baron 2 is a brand new motorbike racer that has been in development for the last 18 months, and it has reached a state where we would like to invite you to try the game out before anyone else, and provide your thoughts on the gameplay.
We are only accepting a handful of people at first to be able to keep the conversations about the game direct and personal on the Steam forums. You should have a computer with an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card from the last 5 years, and run Windows 10\. We don't want to focus on compatibility issues very much just yet, so anyone with an integrated GPU, such as Intel HD, will have to wait until a little closer to release.
