Ski Jumping Pro VR
I have tried the game on Oculus Rift S and it works perfectly, despite the headset not being listed as a compatible device. At first I found the controls a little bit confusing, but they are pretty easy to learn and I was able to get the hang of them after a dozen minutes. The tutorial could be a bit more comprehensive though. For example it doesn’t tell the player that he’s supposed to look at the wind meter to time his push perfectly. Despite minor mishaps the gameplay is fun, but it gets repetitive after a while. Graphics are okay, they may not be the most realistic, but they get the job done. Right now I can’t say if the amount of content justifies the price tag, but as a product it is refined and very enjoyable.

Is a decent vr skiing game, where the game is jumping off a ramp to earn scores. There are multiple modes like a career mode and free play mode, also with a bunch of different settings for the jump. Gameplay is a bit interesting, with how as you are sliding down and preparing to jump, you are required to balance yourself with having your controllers steady and adjusting your body in the middle from left and right. Though after playing a while, it can perhaps get a bit repetitive as you are kinda just doing the same thing. Also it is a bit to do the timing of things, as i did do fine in the tutorial but in the real thing, i did the same but had some struggle. Reckon its best to grab in a sale if interested, where the price is not too bad.

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

Ski Region Simulator - Gold Edition
Hi!
After playing Farming Simulator 2011 I couldn’t help but try this one, and it was excellent. I personally found it very immersive, very very expansive and packed out with silly amounts of equipment available to purchase depending on your strategy. It has the exact same gigantic feel to it that Farming Simulator does and if you dare to try it on hard as I did you’ll find you’re really really up against it to keep the slopes in good condition. I’d recommend getting the darker night mod available online somewhere as it really adds to the atmosphere.

Well where do i start…firstly i am a strong simulation game player YES i love simulations so i guess that makes me a bit of a pro when it comes to testing the games and giving a comment and review on a game i have played and tested, so now we come to Ski Region Simulator - Gold Edition i have played this game constant for 192 hours and find it is a very good game it has many missions and you need to keep your eye on your hotels and once in a while change your preferences to meet the holiday makers so you get a good popularity, it is very easy to play and would suit all ages and it has many tools and equipment you can buy to make the game interesting the graphics is good but could be better as we have the hardware in this day and age to have excellent graphics for this type of game but in saying that in the real world you would not see much more in the swiss alps then what you see in this game lets be honest you would see mostly mountains with snow and some cabins and that’s about it.

BSL Winter Games Challenge
Game is a fun challenge, I always liked the sliding center. For $1.69 you can’t go wrong.
I just played this game non stop for a couple days, lols, lots of fun trying to drive and beat your own times, plus online player’s times to beat.

hey really like your game especially on the luge bobsleigh track…okay it is arcade and the starts are unreal but it does have a strong sense of realism when you go down the track. I tried other winter games and this one is a great work in progress. there are some need for improvement of course but for the luge, bosbleigh and even santa sled…this is fun!! I really feel to be on an ice track….looking forward for your updates and sure would like a true downhill event.

When Ski Lifts Go Wrong
Completion State:
Completed 103/104 levels, 31 with all three medals awarded (75% Steam achievements. 31 hours)
Comments:
I’ve never really played a bridge builder type game but do generally love building games so when I saw that Curve Digital were helping yet another small British studio get a game out in the wild I couldn’t help but pick it up. And I’m glad I did though I didn’t expect to spend quite so much time with it.
I assume most of the tools are at this point pretty rote for fans of the genre but for me the whole idea was pretty novel and interesting. The game essentially asked me to use a limited set of supports, ramps and the like to get my little skier from one side of the map to another.

I love it! The price really attracted me to buy this game and I wondered if it was a case of “you get what you pay for”. In this instance I can say I got a lot of bang for my buck. The tutorial helped me to understand the slight differences in controls to other games of this type but they are very user friendly and after a few minutes I managed to get to grips with all the hotkey solutions as well.
The learning curve is not too slow so each level offers a new challenge and as you progress the challenge continues to grow as well (3 hours can easily feel like 10 minutes with this one!)

Winter Sports Games
I was expecting something like the N64 game “Nagano Winter Olympics 98”, in other words: I wasn’t expecting much, but at least something fun. This is not fun. This game is an absolute waste of money and time. For those who don’t know yet, you have to buy it physically to get a Steam key. My strong advice is: don’t. For the love of whatever you believe in, don’t! As another reviewer mentioned, this takes away the opportunity to get a refund, and trust me, you’ll want that.
This game features modes strongly resembling Nagano: Slalom, Downhill, Ski Jumping, Bob (2 people), Luge and Curling.

With curling cancelled, I was looking for a curling fix. Unfortunately, this package didn’t have what I was looking for.
Pros:
The ice surface appeared pebbled and that’s a nice attention to detail.
It looks like the developer cares about making a fun product, and they deserve credit for their efforts.
The control scheme is easy to learn and I can’t complain too much about the controls in general.
Credit for a clever 2-sweeper control scheme.
Cons:
The stones are thrown straight by default, which should be an impossible thing to do.

Fun skiing game for less than five dollars.

I am shock I managed to finished this game, in first sight I was thinking it is kinda retro horror game, but I was wrong, it is not horror game, as the character know no fair, When got traced by deer, wolf, bear, Yeti , skier with gun, skier with chainsaw (!), he give no shxt, he just care if he missed a red/blue flag, what a another level of nerdiness, he rather die than missing a flag or missing the time limit!
anyway, not a bad game for spending me 2 hrs

Snowtopia: Ski Resort Builder
As the game is still in EA, please so not take my review as negative criticism but as recommendations for things that should be improved for the final version.
So let’s go through it:
The setting: as a winter sport enthusiast, mountain lover and little snow angel, I love the setting and the idea. I followed the project from the very first alpha, and bought it here to support the developers.
Graphics: You get what you see in the screenshots and videos. A lovely mountain area with nice vegetation and some cute looking skiers. For a game focussed on snow, the white element is presented a bit boring. No variations, no animations, no structure… I want to see at least some improvements here, without expecting AAA-class graphics.

This is my very first review andI really wanted to write a positive one because I absolutely loved the demo. Now with more features, I thought that this sounded wonderful but after several hours of playing, it became more + more frustrating due to too many restrictions and bugs. I’m now listing up what I mean which is actually a listing up of bugs or negative issues and hope I don’t sound rude or so because English is not my first language. So unfortunately, this will be a negative review as I can’t recommend the game at this stage of development, especially not for this price as it has far too many issues.

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:
– Real player with 542.7 hrs in game
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.

Steep™
been nearly a week owning and playing the game every day. Sometimes it feels like your the only one playing the game, rarely seeing other people. Other times you can be doing your own thing and suddenly there’s 4 people along side you. I’ve already met some people that I play with now even though i felt like i wouldn’t have because i thought i had got the game too late and that there wouldn’t be so many people playing, i was wrong.
Otherwise its a pretty fun game, tricks are pretty difficult on mouse and keyboard though. Sometimes even delays in them, and struggles figuring them out.

Update: I must admit when I need something fast paced that isn’t about shooting a gun, this game satisfies that desire. And I almost ALWAYS get my games on sale!! I’m waiting on their welcome add on to be discounted more than 30% right now.. It’ll probably be a while. I don’to recommend full price for this game..

I do get annoyed with the keybindings and resetting them up may confuse me further so I’m unsure atm about that. Hitting shift is instinct for running but it also is for changing your device (board, skis, etc) I don’t like that part and the esc screen very much. The controls for that stuff aren’t up to my standards but the rest of the game is so satisfying ♥
