Aesthetically, I love it.

Mechanically, its a really bad interpretation of a boarding game.

You have 3 boosts that recharge (think Overwatch’s Tracer blinks). You can recharge them faster by gathering orbs. However, these orbs are roughly 5-6 boosts away from each other, so this expansive open environment is a SLOG to get through.
There’s no clear direction to travel towards. After beating the first level (which looks really cool cinematically) the camera guides you to a giant orb somewhere in the middle of the map. Ok, that means I head towards the giant orb right? Nope! You’ve gotta travel a long distance in some arbitrary direction.

The voice acting quality was REALLY good. High quality. The game was not sadly. Missed potential on some stuff.

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.
