    В целом спустя 66 часов, мне все еще не надоело просто кататься по горам, рядом с другими игроками, настолько приятно это здесь реализовано. Хотя тут и челенж в наличии, не хватает разве что крутых музыкальных треков по больше, ну и из-за блокировки PSN не удалось скачать все dlc, только часть.

    Finalmente un titolo divertente e ben realizzato dedicato a molteplici sport di montagna. È il migliore del genere e sotto molti aspetti mi ha davvero colpito. La mappa è grandissima, suddivisa in regioni reali e condivisa online, ottimi i racconti della montagna e le tantissime sfide. I contro sono davvero pochi, in particolare non amo l'eccessivo lato arcade del gioco in alcune situazioni

    This game was free on PSN so I tried it out. Thought it was easy to pick up and play, looks great and most importantly it's fun. Cosmetic micro-transactions are available but not forced or necessary to have a good time. Anyone who got this game for free should not be complaining about micro-transactions or the fact that it's online only.

The challenges might get a little bit frustrating at some point but the level of fun I have while doing them surpasses the frustration without a doubt. This is a beautiful, fun, open world sports game which deserves a higher rating on metacritic, that's why i'll give it a 10. Cons: Microtransactions and DLC's. 8/10… Expand

I've been skiing like 6 times and never made it to the skill level where any of it was much fun, but this game seems to capture maybe something of the sheer thrill and joy that must be felt by those extreme sport enthusiasts who can participate at this level...skiing...boarding.....wing suit flying (whateverucallit)....parachuting (meh, this part is pretty forgettable to me...give me the raw speed of the other 3 options!).

    Something about the way Ubisoft weaves the sheer beauty and detail of the mountain landscape (my god, the available world is HUGE) and the intricate dynamics of the gameplay blended with incredible sound. It lends to a very immersive experience. Boarding at breakneck speed carving lines that barely sneak past obstacles or skimming precariously close to rock outcroppings while streaking/flying down the mountainside in the wingsuit is truly awe inspiring....as much as it can be in a video game, anyways. And, the ability to go just about anywhere on the mountainsides gives the game enough scope that replay-ability is real, seemingly...at least for now :) Depth of customization helps in this respect, too.

    For now, the game is lots of fun. 20 hours from now? We'll see    … Expand

I came in expecting just a fraction of what is here. Reviews are insane these days. I'm not really sure what people even expect in games. Apparently, being able to do 4+ sports on a gigantic mountain range where you can wingsuit your way from a hot air balloon and then ski or snowboard down an entire mountain ending up in a village by a frozen lake is not enough anymore.

    You also have the ability to dictate time of day and ambiance whenever you like. There is always something to guide you properly to where you need to be, and all challenges are easily accessible both on the mountain map and through menus.

    No other game allows this type of freedom in this genre. Hell, this genre is almost gone. It's sad that people do not want to support games like this anymore.

    All the while people are online with you, and you can buddy up with other players. Right now I think it's great that you can just ski down the mountain with a random person you just met. I don't get how this game is scoring below an 8 at all. And many do actually agree. At least the people playing the game seem to be enjoying it a lot. There is a decent customer base here too. I hope when the game drops in price more will pick it up.

    Let's get to the show: there is a lot to do in this game. A lot of scores to break. I think more or less people should expect this to be like a Driveclub game. It's all about getting better and better with runs. Yet there is a competent story mode and plenty of customization when it comes to character.

    Once you start exploring around and getting a few golds the controls become second nature to me. After the last patch it plays like a dream mostly. Wingsuiting has never been done better. Snowboarding and skiing are entirely competent and at times an amazing experience. Especially for the ten minute runs that have you going over so much terrain.

    Alaska DLC is coming as a free patch for everyone. Nevermind the fact that most games in the past like SSX3 had one mountain not even as big as the main range here. Yes, I too love SSX. But this is a slightly more realistic version of SSX with not as much flash and a lot more realism. Carving and shredding snow has never felt this good in years.

    Honestly, so far this is a ten for me. The game is everything I needed it to be, and more patches, optimization, and fixes will come in the future. For now the game is online only for those that care, but an offline mode will surely be patched in later.    … Expand

    Think Burnout Paradise, but with Winter Sports. I don't know what engine was used on this game, but everything is SO incredibly smooth. The tech is astounding, and the team behind it seriously deserve to win awards. Sadly, I don't think they're going to get any.

    Steep doesn't seem to be getting great reviews across the board. It's not a thrilling game of setpieces and constant action. If you judge it on the merits of what it is: an open-world winter sports playground, it's fantastic. Again, think Burnout Paradise, but with winter sports. The control is great, the environments huge and gorgeous, and the tricks are easy to get the hang of, difficult to master, and so so rewarding when you pull off a perfect run. Load times are NEAR-INSTANT, allowing you to fast-travel to anywhere on the mountain, or restart any ride with only a quick button press.

    I want to underline that last point: It may sound weird, but the fast-retry is the single greatest thing about this game. I've always loved doing speed and trick challenges in games, but have always HATED the long load times required for when you screw up. (I'm specifically talking about Just Cause 3's challenges here, which were great, but infuriating to reload upon error.) The team at Ubi apparently recognized this, and made the ease of use for retrying challenges so incredibly easy, that you can easily do three or four extra runs on a challenge in the time some other games would take just to reload to the starting point. It works so brilliantly and it's such a fantastic idea that I seriously cannot understand how this has not been more common in other challenge-based games before now. The retry function is as quick and easy as it was in Hotline Miami, a game that was insanely unforgiving, and thrived on the ease of repetition.

    I don't know how many people were really clamoring for an open-world winter sports playground, much less one that costs full AAA price. I'm not a fan of any of the sports in the game, (except for the promise of wingsuit challenges like in Just Cause 3,) and yet I'm loving it. I can't think of any way a developer could possibly make a winter sports playground more perfectly suited to just going out and having fun. It feels great to play, and it's incredibly well-built.

    My only complaints after 5 or so hours of play are with the incredibly busy UI, which for some reason has the most unreasonably small text I've ever seen in a game, as well as the tutorials and beginning hour of the game being a bit of a confusing mess. The voice acting is a bit of a mixed bag, but honestly, if you don't like it, you can easily mute it. I love the music options in the game, where you can turn on different types of playlists for different moods. I've admittedly only played with the "Chill" playlist on so far, and it's beautiful. But, if you want to turn the music off, this is an absolutely perfect game for chilling out and turning on a podcast or audiobook while you play.

    Worth checking out at full price if you've got the disposable income, and if you ever see it on sale, give it a shot. If you stick with it through the rocky opening, I think you'll really enjoy yourself.    … Expand

I've played around 60-70h in the Alpha/Beta phases and, since the release, around 30-35h and not even started to explore yet. I still enjoy the game more than ever and still have a lot to discover in it. I will say that if you are not enjoying the game maybe you just need to change your perspective and try to forget about what you want the game to be. That will be a good start.… Expand

The story isn't pretentious, or overladen, and the game focuses almost entirely on gameplay. And luckily, the gameplay is extremely addicting and fun. After a brief tutorial, Steep unleashes you into its rather large open world to do as you please. You can free roam or participate in the plethora of challenges (after finding them with your binoculars.) The challenges are, well...challenging. Many will take repeated attempts to conquer and secure a gold medal. The challenges themselves are varied and some have you trekking across the various mountains to reach a single checkpoint any way you see fit, which is a great departure from the races, or point challenges. Some of the challenges can be difficult to master, and will require multiple runs to complete. Luckily, if you crash, or you're just not having a good run, you can immediately start over with a touch of a button. In fact, at any time, you can spawn at any point of interest, or challenges you've found. Later, with enough leveling up, the game gives you access to an unlimited number of free helicopter tickets allowing you to spawn wherever you please on the map. The 4 sports themselves (paragliding, wingsuit, snowboard, skis) are varied enough to keep things fresh and interesting. The sense of speed in Steep is also incredible. Find the right path, and you'll be screaming down the slopes. One aspect that keeps this game from being a complete arcade experience is the G Force meter. Enough clunky landings, or riding on rocks will throw you from your board, or skis. It's a great mechanic that requires the player to get better, and keesp the game a bit grounded. (Pardon the pun) Graphically, Steep is a mixed bag. At times, it's gorgeous, but sometimes the visuals creep into last gen territory. But overall, the game looks fine. And more importantly, aside from lag here and there, it runs very smoothly. There is quite a bit of outfits and equipment to choose from to customize your character too. As a complete package, Steep is a great game that's easy to jump into and have fun, but it takes time to master. And the icing on the cake is that the game allows you to choose from different genres of music that can drastically change the atmosphere of the game. You can 'rock' out while scoring an insane amount of points, or just 'chill' out and cruise down the slopes, or explore the world at a relaxing pace. I imagine Steep is a rather large risk for Ubisoft. I for one, believe it paid off. Steep can be a relaxing, sublime experience, or a white knuckle race to the finish line. You decide.… Expand

    It does show that Steep is a game born of passion in a studio located at the feet of Alps, so it is easier to turn a blind eye to some of its flaws, like faulty collision detection. It’s not a perfect game, it will not have a following as strong as SSX 3 did, but if you’re looking for a game that will let you hit the slopes, there’s a chance you’ll be returning to Steep often.
