I worked with Amazon's Luna controller, Playstation IV and V, XBox One S and Series S, and Nintendo's Switch Lite.

    I purchased this game for the now ubiquitous $20 current market valuation of video games. My character didn't want to jump off a mountain thereby ending the game before it begun. Little did I know that there were three add ONS from $6-$15 which might produce ANY gameplay. Unfortunately, paying for Add Ons does not necessarily correspond with game play. In Olli Olli World buying add on content resulted in signs on the map. That trick was also used with Assassin's Creed Origins. Buying three add ONS for Assassin's Creed Unity didn't result in any additional content. And...show time. "Connecting to Steep Server, please wait..."

    "Connection error. Connection to the server has been lost. You have been returned to the main menu." Does that mean I should gone to Popeye's to buy $6 worth of fried chicken?

    So, I am going to have to press a bunch of buttons. It is 11:54 pm. And...show time... "Steep Rocket Wings DLC Installed."

    "Master epic new challenges as you race through the skies and valleys at breakneck speeds in every daredevil's favorite sport, Rocket Wings "

    Remember kids if you buy Hogwarts Legacy you might not get what you paid for. But more importantly buying a game like Hogwart's Legacy for a steep price allows you the opportunity to write a review for your student newspaper and for that steep of a price to submit a story to your literary arts magazine too.

    And, it's now 12:19 and I got 66 points for purchasing the Add On content as a notification from Playstation 5 on my cell phone that you did indeed get 66 points for spending $6. No, I have not had a chance to play this game yet.    … Expand

    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. Вообщем теперь это моя любимая игра, обязательно пройду на 100% 10 из 10.    … Expand

    Would be good but the controls can be sloppy, and some of the events are impossible were they even play tested? And the hidden stuff is annoying to find because it doesnt show up on map.

    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

    For me, this game was unplayable. I found the controls to be off and I didn't have the motivation to learn how to master them. I played 2 hours maximum and decided to quit this game.

    This is one of the most poorly executed games ever to be released in my memory. Why you would take the time to develop a game, then make sure to make it UNFUN in every way possible.

The physics are the WORST part though! Oh my god, it's as if someone who didnt know how to make a game was hired to do the physics. There are very poorly designed challenges that require you to do things that the physics engine will maybe pull off 1/1000 times? Maybe? (Even given the same inputs by the user) For example, good luck grinding in any consistent way on rails for challenges that require this. It just isnt going to happen. Honestly, one of the worst playing ganes available on consoles and in general. About as enjoyable as walking on a bed of nails while eating a bowl of stale cornpops with diarrhea… Expand

    This game is really bad. I got it for free on Epic Games Store, so, happily, I didn't pay anything for it. This game has lots of problems, and a major one is the lack of purpose and things to do. In the very beginning of it the game itself tells you that the only thing there to do is level up in races and stunt courses to unlock more of those, leading to a pointless and no rewarding grind.This game is really bad.

But the gameplay isn't good either. The character gets stuck in stupid places all the time and it's really frustrating getting you out of them, and lots of times he just hits ramps and stuff that he wasn't supposed to hit. Plus, the movimentation of the character, which isn't exactly good, gets even worse when getting in these bugs so the game looks terrible in these moments, and that breaks a lot of the immersion, leading to a game that isn't fun, immersive, beautiful or have objectives.… Expand

    As mentioned below, the games does what it sets out to do. But it got repetitive and boring for me surprisingly quickly. I'm sure it will find its big fans but I haven't had that much fun playing it as I had expected.

    To sum it up, I recommend it but don't expect tons of fun.

    Steep is an extreme sports title featuring various ways of going quickly down a mountain including snowboarding, skiing and winggliding.

As a result you’ll just end up opening the overview map and clicking the multitude of icons to start events. Things don’t get any better from here as the gameplay itself isn’t even particularly exciting, hurtling down a mountain at breakneck speeds somehow feels totally mundane and can’t even be saved by the online multiplayer.

    Having also recently played Ghost Recon Wildlands it seems Ubisoft are more interested in creating large open worlds than actually finding something interesting to do in them...    … Expand

You will want to throw your PS4 through the window an to kick your TV and destroy it, and your neighbours will be asking themselves where those screams of agony and desperation come from

    Absolutely infuriating game mechanics for a mostly beautiful game, which makes it even more infuriating thinking on what could be done.

    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.

    Only Ubisoft can make a game with freely explorable open world mountains with snowboards, skis, and
    even wingsuits, where gameplay is just not fun at all, as well as they can make another open world game with cars, bikes, and even aiplanes, where exactly the same applies. Bravo.

    Steep is a mediocre game made worse by Ubisoft's anti-player policies. Before you can even play the game, you have to sign into a Uplay account. You also have to be on-line.

After all that bs, you can start low stakes game of travelling down mountains on skis, snowboards, or hang gliders. You can grind for more toys, but that grind is clearly made worse by the inclusion of micro-transactions. This is modern gaming at its worst and a moral person would not reward Ubisoft by paying for this game. Full disclosure: I downloaded this for "free" with PS+.

    I cannot express enough how bad the on-line only policy is for players. You cannot start this game off-line. If you don't have internet available, too bad. If PSN or Ubisoft's servers go down, too bad. When Ubisoft pulls the plug on this game, too bad because the game will be unplayable forever. Do you like couch co-op? Too bad. It's your fault for not buying more PS4s, TVs, PS+ accounts, and copies of the game.

    The game itself is not worth the trouble. If you fondly remember games like SSX Tricky, then hold on to those memories. Steep is a bare bones experience where you navigate some bearded guy downhill and try to keep him from falling on his face. You can have the guy perform tricks on jumps and the mountains will have plenty of those. My kids like the jetpack glider, and I wonder why anyone would want to use anything else if they can legitimately fly. Other than that, the game is a bare bones grind to unlock things that could be bought with micro-transactions instead.

    Shame on Ubisoft.    … Expand

    Individual elements can delight and there's potential for greatness, but Steep suffers from not being able to make them work together. It's worth playing at least once just for the new effects, mind. [Feb 2017, p.94]

    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.
