Steel Rats™
A unique physics-based platformer with a stellar 40s setting and atmosphere, let down by its lackluster combat and flat storytelling. Recommended if you enjoy the game’s visual appeal as much as I did.
the levels in Steel Rats are simply fun to drive around in. The buzzsaws have a really visceral sound and feel as you tear through pipes and jump from wall to wall. The game’s setpieces and stages are pretty varied in the challenges they offer. The bikes could be considered ‘floaty’ at first, but start to feel natural within the first hour of play. the puzzle elements progress well, the difficulty curve is just about right (save for one section on the Rooftops level), and the majority of the platforming gets a pass.

Fun game…if you have some patience with some quirks and mainly- the controls.
The story is actually a lot darker than I was expecting. At first I thought this was a balls out arcade game- drive fast, do tricks, destroy stuff…But I quickly realized its a little slower paced than that. You need to get a glimpse of whats ahead or youll die. You need to take out enemies and do tricks to keep a combo meter up, so youll earn more points to unlock the upgrades in each level etc. The more points you earn, you’ll unlock perks and costumes which can be bought with junk collected from destroyed enemies. Achievements are well thought out and fun to get. Im pretty sure one of the voice actors is the general’s voice from the game Renegade Ops, (excellent game btw). So whats not to like?

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.

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.

Trials Evolution: Gold Edition
Let’s get this straight: I absolutely adore this game, it is really fun to play and see how you improve over time.
Even better if you have a couple of friends to compete with on the leadersboards or play a bit of multiplayer.
You can even make your own tracks in the editor which is pretty easy to get started in, but advanced enough to make crazy minigames and really slick looking tracks.
If the game will actually run at all for you that is.
It seems to be a coin-toss if this game will work on your system or not, and if it actually does run it might still lag even with really good hardware. I’m running it with a HD7970 and an i7 3770k so it runs well just because of the brute force.

TL:DR
Game is good but online is not available, dlc not available, custom maps are only available if downloaded within one week of being posted.
Buy if you’re fine with just playing the base Evolution and HD tracks, but not for any other features.
Before starting I want to say that I love this game, and it is amazing, and by far my favorite entry in the Trials series. I’ve been playing Trials since the first flash games released, and Trials is an incredible game. It has a perfect balance of easy to pick up, difficult to master. The physics in Trials Evolution are in my opinion the most on point most good feeling physics in the series. There is tons of content, plenty of customization, a very impressive track editor, and a lot of tracks.

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 ^_^

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.
Urban Trial Tricky™ Deluxe Edition
Urban Trial Tricky
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.
I’m not saying you will get something exactly from Tony Hawk and Trial Xtreme games because the game is super unique but for those who have been around the block with Tony Hawk and Trial Xtreme, brother you guys are going to feel the nostalgia kicking in, with a super unique flavor.

##### This review contains no spoilers.
**Quantum Project** (QP) is a side-scrolling shooter / platformer hybrid set in a post-apocalyptic, war-torn future Earth. Players impersonate a soldier part of Team Alpha 3, that fights against an army of deadly robots and other enemies, while being assigned with progressively more difficult missions in each level, often behind enemy lines.
### Quick Sum-Up
| 🟩 **The Pros** | 🟥 **The Cons** |

In general, a good platformer. You have to fight hordes of hungry creatures, to resist an army of robots. Quite good voice acting and musical accompaniment, the game has very good animation of movements, the gameplay is on the verge of tactics and action.

## 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](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198863342953)*
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!
