    Blazing fast downhill speeds,with an ability to land exciting tricks,and tight controls make for a great freestyle bicycle game! (did i mention it's a rogue-lite with some open world aspects?) the graphics are good,but the draw distance is lacking(hopefully they will patch this in the future). tons of customization options, while not diverting away from the games solid gameplay! it has aBlazing fast downhill speeds,with an ability to land exciting tricks,and tight controls make for a great freestyle bicycle game!

    This game is maybe the best racing game I've ever played. Undoubtedly the best BMX/MX game I've played. There is so much to do and discover with an open-world type feel.

    Descenders offers almost endless fun thanks to fantastic arcade action and infinite procedurally generated levels to play with. Though the move to Switch does come with some graphical concessions, this is a fantastic way to play this sort of game.

    Descenders ended up being a really fun, challenging game. Even if you’re not great at sports games, or you have young children that might not understand the goal, this is one that the whole family can enjoy.

    On Switch, the downhill biking is reduced in every aspect: visually, mechanically and in terms of content.
