    As it stands right now I have to give this game a 6/10. There are constant slowdowns and stutters which throw off your timing and hopefully the game will be fixed to be more stable in a future patch. I know music is subjective, but the soundtrack is horrible. There isn't any option turn off individual tracks, which is a stupidly simple option to include that would help immensely. The loadAs it stands right now I have to give this game a 6/10. There are constant slowdowns and stutters which throw off your timing and hopefully the game will be fixed to be more stable in a future patch. I know music is subjective, but the soundtrack is horrible. There isn't any option turn off individual tracks, which is a stupidly simple option to include that would help immensely. The load times can be ridiculously long and after every race, even in single player, you have to wait around for a screen to load in 4 avatars and one of them does an annoying taunt animation before you can move on. In a game all about replaying tracks over and over to improve this gets old so fast.

    You race against random ghosts, no option to limit the ghosts to your friends list. There are so many stickers in the customization options yet no good way to sort through them. A simple option would be to let us toggle between owned and unowned stickers. That would be a good start but there needs to be a way of organizing all the customization options and right now there just isn't.

    In order to beat some challenges there is a bug currently that has the time you have to beat to move on as the world record on the tracks. Needless to say but it's pretty much impossible to beat those levels for right now. Hopefully that gets fixed in a patch.

    Overall, the tracks and gameplay are good (except for the stutter and slowdown) but everything around those needs serious work. It's disappointing because this game had several betas and plenty of time to iron all this out. There's no private multiplayer, it's grayed out and says "Coming Soon" so if that's what interests you about the game, then skip it for now. It's like the game was made by people who never tested the actual gameplay. I can't believe none of the testers mentioned the option to turn off the music tracks you don't like, or only racing against the ghosts of your friends. Or how badly the customization needs organizing features. By far the most disappointing thing about this game right now is the technical issues, though. You get frame tearing and stuttering at the most inopportune times. The various betas should've worked those issues out. This is all on the PS4 Pro,.    … Expand

    This game is good, but there is an initial grind to get the 3rd Bike which is a pain, it also makes you do worthless contracts that seem tacked on near the completion of the game.it doesn't feel like a trials game. Previous trials games where all about completing a track, this seem more about racing others and their ghost.

Previous trials games where all about completing a track, this seem more about racing others and their ghost. I love the tracks that require you to think but the racing need to be taken out of the single player. The Stadium Finals need to go they are ima a load of crap. The map layout is over the top and would have been easier to navigate if it was a list again and had a description of where the map is located and what difficulty it is. All in all, I regret buying this game. if you are a trials fan stay clear, go back to evolution even.… Expand

    Die Level sind defintiv verdammt geil, aber leider ist die Weltkarte absolut unübersichtlich und gegen Mitte/Ende der Kampagne muss man hundert mal die alten Strecken fahren (mit neuen Aufgaben) um die nächsten Strecken freizuschalten. Da war mein Spaß auch nicht mehr da. Grind in einem Trials-Spiel ist meiner Meinung nach nicht nötig.

    Such a shame. This isnt like previous Trials games where the challenge was about finishing the Hard course even after 20/30/40+ faults or 100+ if trying Extreme! This is about racing. Its about speed. I can do most Gold trophies on 0 faults - which means its not hard enough. You race 3 ghosts (gold, silver & bronze) so you always know how fast you need to be going in order to obtain theSuch a shame.

Faults dont count toward trophies anymore apart from they cost you 5 seconds - and time is what gets you trophies. It feels like a multiplayer experience but offline. The game is decent as youd expect from Trials and the world map is fun and the courses based on world locations are also fun but just not that tricky... every level runs very smoothly and all courses can be done under 1:30min.
    The biggest issue is how you have to grind to unlock further levels and stadiums.. I think it was patched but I have hit a wall at level 64 where I need to replay hundreds of levels potentially in order to unlock the final stadium - and the chances are I wont be doing this and my time with Trials Rising is over prematurely (unless the game is patched again!?)    … Expand

    Tracks are filled with variation and unique gimmicks, but all retain that core challenging premise. Sprinkle in ghost challenges, a superb co-op tandem bike mode, excellent tutorials, and minigames, and this is the best Trials package to date. [Issue#161, p.84]

    It's the best game in the series, but poor technical component and corrupt reward system copied from mobile games separate Trials Rising from true greatness. However, having zero competition Rising is the absolute champion in the digital motorbike trials.

    Trials Risings’s fail-and-retry gameplay is as fun and addictive as ever. However, the tutorials aren’t as user friendly as they could have been, and the tandem mode and edit mode aren’t that appealing either.
