    Shredders fills the void left behind by SSX and Amped with its beautiful visuals, easy-to-pick-up nature, and a story that knows (and pokes fun of) the limitations brought by the indie space. While the game might be a bit jank in some areas, it's still a decent experience that's easy to recommend for Game Pass owners.

    Shredders is at its most enjoyable when it’s not getting in its own way with zany goofball oddness. It deftly captures the sensation of carving neat lines through alpine forests and zooming across vast immaculate hillsides, that incredible feeling when the scissors start to glide through the wrapping paper. It has problems that hold it back from being a better game – gruelling cutscenes, impenetrable menu screens, some glitchy physics surprises – but Shredders is an endearingly sincere and uncynical homage to snowboarding.

Does it have a compelling narrative? Nope. Are there several bugs? Most definitely. Is this possibly the best snowboard simulation game ever? Yes, I really think it is. This is exactly what I was looking for, but I dont think it will be for everyone. This feels like a game for those who are into snow sports. This isn't your arcadey, mass appeal, Tony Hawk pro skater. This is SkaterXL/Session, but surprisingly, much more complete and polished than those. I will be putting tons and tons of hours into this game, but I realize that many wont see the same appeal as I do.… Full Review »

The control scheme is by far the best I have seen for a snowboard game ever. Its so responsive and natural it feels just right. In a way, I would say this the souls-like equivalent of a board game... If that makes sense. Tricks are as rewarding to nail in this game as they are in a real park, incredible job there.

    That being said, it is rough around the edges in other areas, Graphics are ok for 2022 but not fantastic, the cut-scene animations are... quirky (maybe voluntarily) and the sound track even if excellent is very limited (5-6 tracks I believe and mostly EDM). With the same music budget that EA skate had, this would make it extremely hard to put the controller down.

    I hope the devs get to do a sequel with more budget because they definitely are going in the right direction.    … Full Review »

Requires a minimum investment to master its gameplay, but when you succeed to make your first insane tricks, then it quickly becomes pure riding thrill. Highly recommend this gem, one more in the already fantastic Game Pass catalog. Many thanks to the developers.… Full Review »
