Snow Scout
In this exploration adventure on skis, which is experienced in virtual reality, you take a well-deserved time out. After everything that happened recently, you figure you really need to take a break and get away from it all. You sign up for a volunteer job with the Snow Scouts, a non-profit organisation that runs some ski resorts high in the mountains. You will be responsible to fix up an entire valley all by yourself, only being guided by your supervisor via radio. You’ll try out and open all the different ski slopes, test the snow cover for any avalanche risk, and if need be, set off a calculated avalanche to ensure safety for others. Maybe you’ll even come across some rare alpine birds, get a chance to open new paths and get to know your supervisor - and maybe even yourself - a little better through radio conversations. Up here in this pristine mountain environment, you all alone in nature, nothing can go wrong. Or can it?

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:

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.
