    The game also runs smooth and the controls work so precisely that I, unfortunately, have to admit that a drop is my own fault. It has never been so much fun to hit my nose again and again^^.

    So who has to play this game?:
    You like to chase high scores? You like sports games? You like speed runs or just want to relax in the evening and test your skills? Then this is the game for you. There are two ways of enjoying the game. The first is just bicycling downhill to discover and enjoy the beautiful landscapes, the second is master the various challenges and break the community records.
    Well done ;)    … Expand

    I'll try to be fair. The game is absolutely stellar if you're into purely sports games that reward delicate skill and a good amount of work to master them. However for the people that are mostly in for the fun and the exploration it is not their cup of tea because within a few minutes the exploration part of each level is done so roughly speaking the game is 80 to 90% purely e-sports skill based.

    I really enjoy the cell shaded graphics, when you're not shredding down the mountain the overall setting is very relaxing and serene.

    For the actual gameplay, it plays like a single player racing game, go for the best time across different tracks using different bikes. Challenges include the standard "beat track in under X minutes", as well as beating tracks with less than X crashes. There's also full leaderboard support to try to be the best of the best.

    I've only unlocked two bikes so far, but they feel different enough that it changes how you play. Also the different mountains feature a lot of different mechanics when it comes to biking, and have distinct themes.

    It's very well made. I'm a bit worried that it won't last me too long, but for $20 it's totally worth it.

    I'd also love to see a ghost mode where you can see other people's path through the courses as you try to beat their times.    … Expand

    Gràficos 9/10: tengo una tarjeta grafica gtx 950m 4R, y funciona de maravilla va a 60 fps en altos. Lògico por la carga grafica sencilla pero muy adecuada para el juego, fàcil podria ser un juego para mòvil.
    Diseño 10/10: Probè 2 rutas de 6, y en ambas los diseños aunque sencillos, muy bien ambientados, montañas rocas, bosque, rios, etc.
    Audio 8/10: En mi caso un 8 por la falta de banda sonora del juego, pero puedes poner tu musica favorita para amenizar tus descensos. En mi caso usè spotify en superposicion y el juego a la ves y corre de maravilla. En el caso de los efectos de sonido de las llantas muy bien.
    Recomendado: 4 estrellas, por el precio y el tiempo de diversiòn, es un juego que vale la pena tener en tu colecciòn para pasar el rato, recomendado.
    Pay to win y lootboxes, no hay en este juego. Bueno hasta ahora.

    Lonely Mountains: Downhill é, provavelmente, o melhor jogo de ciclismo lançado nos últimos anos. A atenção a detalhes é louvável e, apesar de alguns tropeços, a ambientação incrível e jogabilidade divertida se sobressaem.

    Graphics are really cool—low poly but everything else is super high quality. Gameplay is centered around finding shortcuts and navigating without crashing, and it's got a smooth difficulty curve that I really enjoy. Overall highly recommend.

    Cant get enough of this. Pure joy. I'm a big Trials HD fan and this scratches that itch while also letting me chill.

    Freedom and exploration in a bike game? Wow. Lonely Mountains: Downhill is more than just a pretty game. It's an experience and it can be as relaxing or challenging as you want. We wish there would be a new saga here.

    It takes a level of persistence that many won't be inclined to reach. [Issue#340, p.120]

    Lonely Mountains is far from lonely, it rekindles a feeling of childhood. Of meeting with friends and exploring the woods, daring each other to take jumps or freewheel through water. It’s a game about being alone, by being at one with nature and the bike beneath you.
