SNOW - The Ultimate Edition
I can’t believe how many bad reviews this game got. It’s ridiculous. Espescially seeing all the complaints about things like speed and physics when in reality this game has WAY more realistic speed and physics than any other snow games out there like SSX Shaun White Snowboarding etc. All those games have horrible physics and DO NOT replicate real life snow sports what so ever. The funny thing is I have snowboarded all my life and didn’t even care much for skiing, so I was dissappointed that snowboarding isn’t in the game yet, but I went ahead and purchased anyways because I couldn’t wait any longer since there are no other games out there like this one. Long story short this game actually made me like skiing for the first time ever in the 18 years of my life of being a snowboarder. I’ve also been waiting for a game like this forever literally. NO COMPANY has ever made a snow sports game so realistic. I needed a game like this so badly and it’s finally here. So here’s my review:

For the record, before the M10 update, I would have recommended this game.
But with the new update, the game is so much less enjoyable.
SKI PASSES
I’ll start the with the biggest change: the ski passes. This is a very logical concept and, if it were well executed and well implemented into the game, it would have been great. Basically, if you don’t buy any ski passes, you only have access to the tutorial map and one other map, which cycles between all maps every week. With this change, the game doesn’t feel free-to-play at all, it just feels like you’re playing a trial version of the game. If we had at least one other map permanently unlocked like nine knights or something, it would make it sooo much better. Or cycking two maps at a time instead of only one.

Til Nord
Nominated as Game of the Year!
Til Nord is fabulously beautiful and a lot of fun.
The feel of the ride is quite good, though it seems more of my wipe-outs should be killing me when they’re not. When a wipe-out is as funny as it is in this game, I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more of them.
The ‘missions’ you are tasked with are fun, if few. The races are all quite fun and a bit challenging, but not overly so.
The scenery is incredible; just don’t give it close-up scrutiny in most places. Take in the full view, which is jaw-droppingly amazing.

Driving a snowmobile through snowy Norway. An enjoyable experience for free!
Explore!
In Til Nord you are free to explore the snowy Norwegian mountains. There is a mission-chain which can be spotted easily by the huge vertical waypoints, that the game uses to guide the way. The missions explore most of the area.
There are also races, that unlock other races when you finish with any time. All races also have an achievement for beating a certain time. This time is pretty sharp, and gives a true challenge to beat! The only time we couldn’t beat was the ‘junkyard race’, while some took many attempts.

Mission in Snowdriftland - Snowlogue
These are the first 3 levels of the remake of the online advent calendar platformer game from 2006, when I was a kid! I feel beamed back to my childhood…
It plays fantastic and the controls are not slippery, but right on spot - since you are playing a snowman in a icy environment. It plays smooth and easy, but still it’s challenging and reminds a lot of classic games. Which is quite logic, since Mission in Snowdriftland was and is meant as a tribute to the classic Super Mario platformer games.

I remember when the Wii was released and dropped this online promotion. I was constantly playing it around November of 2006? It was so different from the flash games that I played at the time, the stages were short and sweet, hidden hearts, snow flake coins?, and was well polished. Playing this game again made me feel real nostalgic. The Dev team really knew how to make a platformer. I wish they would add secrets or something to collect for rewards, for example, the Star Coins in New Super Mario Bros series but all in all, it’s a good game, has it’s own identity but with a Mario like charm. Good game, would recommend.
