The Endless Summer - Search For Surf
The waves are nice, the surfer can surf. I recommend buying this game. Although in early release, it is playable and updates flow very often.
As you look into the face of a clean glassy wave, you can carve it up.
The Surfer is smooth and fluid while surfing. you can carve, do cutbacks and generally surf on a wave.
I hope other people support this game as the developer clearly surfs and can translate this into a surfing game.
Personally i was not initially impressed in the idea of travelling and searching for spots, but the implementation of this principle is really good. You can find all sorts of varied waves on the world map.

Desperate for a new surfing game , It pains me to type it as I am willing to overlook pretty much everything , but the surfing aspect of the game is awful it has no redeeming qualities . Hopefully they continue to improve the game its a great concept but its really far away from being playable.

The Snowboard Game
A great Indie Funsport Sim
The Snowboard Game has the potential to be one of the best snowboard simulations on the market, but in its current state, it’s maybe not for everyone. It is comparable to the newer Infinite Air with Mark McMorris, the older Amped Series or the famous SKATE series, so if you are into such simulation like funsport games, just get it :-)
First of, one important TIP:
If you right-click on the game in steam, go to properties, and then to BETA, you can try out the Beta and also the current internal WIP version. (I Play the Internal Version at the moment) These BETAs have many new trick features (Nose Slide/Press Tail Slide/Press on rails, overall improved rail mechanics, more realistic arials, bails if landings are too hard, nicer UI and many more. It’s maybe good to play through the missions in the official version, because of the more realistic arials and railing some missions are really hard in the BETAs.

I LOVE THIS GAME- but before you buy…. You’ll end up catching an edge, getting stuck in powder, take several hours to learn how to flip with any sort of consistency, take 20 minutes to beat a single challenge getting the specific spin/grab combos, and tap the side of your board into a rail and instantly eat it. The controls are clunky and hard to learn, but at the same time are by far the most realistic and best feeling snowboard game on the market. Either that sounds like the snowboard sim you’ve been waiting for, or pure hell, and that gut reaction will be your experience. But if you have the patience to learn it, when you start landing double corks with the hardcore mode on and string together massively difficult lines it’s by far the most rewarding a snowboard game has been for me. And this includes Shaun White Snowboarding, Stoked, Steep, and SSX. If you want an arcade-y game any of those will be objectively more fun, but if you snowboard and miss the feeling of carving into a jump to set up your spin this is 100% worth the money and is clearly the only snowboard game programmed by someone who actually knows what standing sideways feels like and has set up the game physics to be as close as possible.

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.

hoVRboard
This is the kind of game that just gets better the more you play and become one with the control. I’m using WMR headset and at first I couldn’t see my controllers so I thought I couldn’t play it. You’ll need to bind WMR control in the options menu, then your controllers will appear in game. Took a little while to get it but as I played and experimented I found myself having a complete blast! (PUN intended) the first time I blast jumped!! The challenges will make you work hard to complete and that is helping me to get better. Great Fun!! Really excited to see the different boards and what they will be like. Big thank you to Tomy Horst. I would buy again.

Fun for the price but it’s not quite as polished as Jet Island - some of the physics are off and there’s a few poor UI choices as well as a bunch of spots on the map that would benefit from some minor tweaks. For example halfway down one of the long downhill halfpipes where the pipes join it acts like a collision - easy fix would be to lower the bottom one a tiny bit but for some reason they havent done it and I have found 3 or 4 in 3 hours playing no doubt theres more
If they fixed up the bugs, polished the map and the physics I’d happily pay $30 for an improved Hovrboard 2 as its a lot of fun at its core

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.

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 ♥

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.

Skater XL - The Ultimate Skateboarding Game
this is probably the most accurate skateboarding simulator I have ever played. I would say what also makes this game stand out is the modding capabilities that allows this game to not feel stale. I have played this since its first release and the progression of the game combined with the mods makes this really fun!

The Ramp
VERY FUN ESPECIALLY FOR SKATERS!!!
The controls took a bit to get used to but very easy and super flow-like once you get the hang of it.
The problems i have is i wish that once you get air you could then grind upon your landing because the orange box in the skate park bowl map just looks way to tempting :)
I do really wish the creator would announce plans for updates like workshop support, new maps, tricks, custom or other characters, and bowl transitions, this would make it feel like less a tool and more of a mini-game sandbox type which it already feels like but all in all the ‘tool’ is worth the money just wish the creator would get serious.

This game does exactly what it says on the tin, and it does it pretty dang well! If you want a game to just relax and unwind to, or you’re looking for a different skateboarding experience, definitely give this a shot. For the price, it feels like a steal! Yes, it only focuses on one kind of skating and I see how that may not appeal to everyone, but what it does, it does really good. The feeling of gaining momentum or just flowing through tricks on the different ramps (there are more than 1) feels incredibly rewarding. Getting the hang of the controls doesn’t take long either. Buy it! Support awesome stuff like this!
