    The very occasional framerate stutter aside, LMD is as much of a joy to stare at as it is to play, and PS4’s biggest sporting surprise of 2019. A wheel good time. [Issue#169, p.96]

    It might seem simple, but Lonely Mountains is much more complex than you think. A good idea fantastically executed that we recommend to those who are looking for a somehow relaxing challenge.

    A serene and pretty aesthetic sits atop a brutal but satisfying arcade downhill bike game which wears its retro stylings and simplicity with pride. A fine game for all and not just for MAMILS!

    Lonely Mountains: Downhill offers a great deal of seriously addictive fun and is something that players can enjoy for hours on end.

    It’s a moreish experience, buoyed by outstanding controller response and a compelling reward loop. Occasional framerate hiccups threaten to wrestle control out of your hands, but instances of this are generally uncommon. This is a very different kind of two-wheeled platforming to the recent Trials Rising, but it scratches the same kind of itch – arguably more effectively, too.

    Charming hybrid of bicycle racing and and skill tests - quite motivating and with spot-on controls.

    Great fun and really challenging. I love to explore the mountains and find the best ways. In total this game is a little treasure.

    I feel like I need to defend this game because of the user score. It's a good game and you should ignore the 3.4 it currently has. DeservesI feel like I need to defend this game because of the user score. It's a good game and you should ignore the 3.4 it currently has. Deserves much higher. At no point while playing this was I bored, or frustrated. It's easy to pick up, and it's easy to put down (meaning it's not frustratingly addictive). There isn't obnoxious music and the scenery is beautiful. The bikes are fun to unlock and each mountain definitely has it's own character. None of the runs feel the same.

    This is a game that was cared for during it's development. Shame to those who gave it a 0.    … Full Review »

    Pero cuando lo consigues el placer es brutal. De repente empiezas a fluir con la bici, y si te caes es o porque has tomado una mala decisión o porque has ido más rápido de lo debido.
    Te hace sentir como sivestuvieras encima de la bici, y es muy muy divertido y adictivo.
