The landing physics are atrocious. There is absolutely zero redeeming qualities about this game. I'm so glad it was free to try out because I would have taken them to court for a refund even if it meant losing thousands of my own dollars in doing so. I'd rather lose money in a legal battle and get a full refund then to let this developer have one cent from the game purchase.

    It is truly a very calming game overall. The mechanics may lack in some areas, but the satisfaction of snowboarding down a mountain with the realism of the snow makes up for that. I definitely would recommend this game if you like just chilling out for a bit.

    It's not easy to write a review about this game. I've played the game only about 4-5 hours and after that the air is getting thin. I had no motivation to play it further, even i would say i had 50% of the time fun, and the other 50% I just wasted my time. Big plus is the atmosphere with the different weathers and the sound.

    Always online DRM. Extremely buggy. The riding is totally unpredictable and t he controls are beyond broken. it is allright for a simple riding but that is about it. And to make it worse, it makes all the hard races hard by giving NPCs superpowers and making them ignore the physics.

    This game is different from any others and so there isn't much to compare it to, but I like it a lot, it's essentially an open world where you don't need to do missions to enjoy it. I love the graphics and the music and I always have this game installed because whenever I'm sat at home bored it's so relaxing to ski down from the highest peak around.

    This is one of the best game in its genre, beautiful graphics, physics and soundtrack, but the fps on my PC was low like 40 on high settings and in other games i 70-80 (watch dogs, tomb raider, doom eternal, everything on high), but its really good game, recommend to buy

    Приятная игра, оправдала, пожалуй, все мои ожидания. Можно покататься по снежным склонам Альп и Аляски на лыжах и сноуборде, полетать с помощью вингсьюта. ДЛЦ у меня ни одного не куплена, контента который предоставляет стандартная версия игры вполне хватило.Приятная игра, оправдала, пожалуй, все мои ожидания.

    Best game out there for winter-sport. No other game like it. Has the best graphics even now in 2020, no other skiing , snowboarding or whatever comes close to it, even though it's almost a half a decade old.

    Steep is a really fun game to play, graphics are wonderful, physics are good, the world is big, but controls are bad and game can become boring after playing many hours.

    Always Online = Always Negative Review

    I can't recommend a game that is Always Online. There is an option to just free ride if playing Offline, but then all progress and challanges are locked. I guess that is 10% better then just having a brick if you con't have a connection, but it is not good enough.

    graphics isn't everything

    luckily I got this game for free. Otherwise I'd feel really ripped off. Pros: - really great graphics - It's fun for a while - Every mode has it's strengths and the feeling of speed really delivers - The snow "feels" great. Generally driving physis are very nice - good feeling when landing a "difficult" trick perfectly Cons: - Online required -    graphics isn't everything

    luckily I got this game for free. Otherwise I'd feel really ripped off.

    Pros:
    - really great graphics
    - It's fun for a while
    - Every mode has it's strengths and the feeling of speed really delivers
    - The snow "feels" great. Generally driving physis are very nice
    - good feeling when landing a "difficult" trick perfectly

    Cons:
    - Online required
    - Half the game is behind a DLC-paywall. Very often that only shows when being redirected to the store. BIG NO NO
    - It's fun for a while but doing the same over and over again gets boring after about five hours
    - Controls can be very unresponsive at times. Gets really frustrating when driving down a 5 min course only to be resetted at the end because your character crashes for no reason
    - the g-force stuff seems very random and often doesn't make any sense
    - the game cannot decide whether to be realistic or not. It's trapped in a valley that just isn't right (for me)
    - only very little content for the full price (which dropped quite a bit from release)
    - very bad camera. First-person is even worse and doesn't resemble snowboarding in the slightest (havent tried skiing but can't imagine it being much better)
    - Controls are a pain in the a**. Especially for the wing-suit
    - HUD is not great. Especially when someone is driving in front of you and you can't see sh*t because the "add to party"-button covers the way
    - Map is other-worldy bad. Very very slow with controller and the buttons don't do what they're supposedd to
    - Everything -- and I mean EVERYTHING -- is inconvenient. The menus, the map, the HUD, the controls, online play...... it could've been so much better if anyone just cared at ubisoft...

    all in all just frustrating and not recommended    … Expand

    People argue that it's just a realistic game, but the controls are just bad, and the physics are unpredictable. I don't mind a difficult game, but this just isn't fun.

    The graphics are very good looking but when it comes to gameplay it simply just does not work, also the game is running very poorly because of it's DRM, always online protection, witch almost makes it unplayable from a very smooth performance when a new player shows up.

    Deeply unsatisfying experience coupled with loads of technical issues (the game won't start, the internet is filled with people complaining about it, it takes ages to try out a list of things to get it fixed, then it drops the server connection and you can't play it if you're off-line). The gameplay is frustrating.

    It's finally on sale, and uPlay (which is required to play) it's not total garbage anymore and you can play the game through steam just fine.

    What a game. They nailed the mechanics of skiing and snowboarding but in a fun video game way. The mountains are excellent and feel real. Kind of a shame this went under the radar but I blame ubisoft for that.

    Steep ventures into a territory that Ubisoft has forgotten for years, delivering an exciting experience on the Alps with great potentials. It, however, just never really got there.

    The game, it seems very bad, I love the landscapes and it stays there. What a disappointment and I think it is very brazen that ubi has not put the batteries. I will not buy it. I'm sorry, on top of that the game is bad, it forces me to have the Internet, it's okay.

    1 – GENERAL

    Steep is kinda radical sports, open world, action and multiplayer game. Quite a lot of stuff at the first glance, but this game is a sky, paraglide, snowboard and wingsuit simulator. Not much of a story here. You go there, and you do that. You will climb up the ranking for sure, but there's not much of a plot here. Graphics are incredible. You can literally stare at    1 – GENERAL

    Steep is kinda radical sports, open world, action and multiplayer game. Quite a lot of stuff at the first glance, but this game is a sky, paraglide, snowboard and wingsuit simulator.

    Not much of a story here. You go there, and you do that. You will climb up the ranking for sure, but there's not much of a plot here.

    Graphics are incredible. You can literally stare at the landscape. Ubisoft is bad in a lot of stuff, but lately they simply make beautiful games I have to admit.

    The soundtrack is very good. They have grasped the mood of each challenge and for a game that, at first glance, is here to pump adrenaline in someone who is sit on a chair, it can be very relaxing at some moments. I spent a lot of time in orientation challenges because they were incredibly peaceful and quiet.

    2 – GAMEPLAY

    I started the game and I was right there in the action. First minutes were bad, since I was trying to understand the controls, but after that I admit the game is very noob friendly, and quite challenging for those who simply want to give that extra effort. Controls are very simple and precise. I choose to play the game with a controller, it was much more simple. This game is a PC port from a console game, but I have any issue with that. The trick mechanics is very solid and easy to understand, but the game is not very realistic in some aspects. You can go 100 miles per hour against a stone or a tree and there's no problem, you simply get up with a pun. And the speed... my god, the speed.

    Staring at the map is impressive, and that gives you the feeling of freedom of choice. OFC you will only go to the new events that you unlock when you progress, you will not explore a massive map on foot, so that is a bit useless, unless you are crazy.

    You have an ingame store, mostly for peacocks, where you can customize your character. I miss some customization options on default, I admit. What I do not like is the fact of the paid season pass includes new and completely different sports, rocket wings. That's massive cash grab.

    I'm not sure about the replay ability of this game, the game seems like it is his own replay.

    Reviews are all over the place about content, so I'm here to save you. I do not know... for me the game was fresh and cool, I was always excited with new activities, but I admit that the game consists in going through rings and that's it.

    Some sort of multiplayer is there. I've found some other players and that's cool. I've invited some to ride with me, one have accepted but the experience is not very different from playing alone.

    3 – CONCLUSION

    I do not like this type of games. I've notice in UPlay that it was on a free trial during the weekend so I just got it for 2 days. I was very impressed by it. I have tons of fun, and I've considered buying it then I check the price. Without any discount 60€ + 20€ from the season pass. It's too much. I would wait for a sale on this one, it's a impressive game with a massive price.    … Expand

    The game does look quite nice, the animations are fluid and life-like. The environment is large and detailed, but could be better.

    The gameplay is fun for a few hours, but gets old fast, your mileage may vary.

    The controls can be rather clunky, mainly when you are at a stand still and want to ski / board in a certain direction and the character spins in circles, or when you want to jump off a ledge to wingsuit and the character jumps in the wrong direction.

    The UI is not great, the map view is hard to control and the pause menu is not intuitive.

    Multiplayer is quite weak. In all honesty this is a single player game, you race against other player's ghosts in challenges, so you should be able to play offline by yourself or with bots even, but you can't.

    What really hurts the experience is server connection issues preventing you from loading and playing the game. I'll be kind and assume that since I played during a free weekend the servers could not handle the stress. Late at night I didn't have any issues, but mid-day I could not connect once.

    Ubisoft should not have made this game online only and the game could benefit from a more structured campagin. I value this product at $20, $60 is a far stretch.    … Expand

    The paradoxically relaxing thrill of skiing, without getting cold and wet, without having to travel up into some distant mountains, and without having to do practice a bunch of stunt combos so you can beat this track to unlock the next one. This is the Far Cry 2 of extreme sports games.

    There are so many shortcomings in Steep’s design and gameplay, you can’t help but think it’s still a project, not a full game. The ideas are there, they’re good, they could have been developed into something groundbreaking; problem is – they weren’t. [Issue#216, p.44]
