    I am casual player for this kind of game, I bought TR for some good motocross action. Gameplay has been fun and addictive. I have enjoyed obtaining gold medals in every easy and normal tracks. Even, I obtained gold in every hard track that came in the first round. Sadly, things started to get rough from there.

I have enjoyed obtaining gold medals in every easy and normal tracks. Even, I obtained gold in every hard track that came in the first round. Sadly, things started to get rough from there. It's very hard to master bunny hop and other techniques, I think this Switch version is doing things even harder due to low framerate and buttons.

    Progression is terrible, the level of grinding is too much. You will need DLC to keep going if contracts are too hard or too boring. Even stadium finals became a frustrating and repetitive excercise. The fun is gone.

    Why Ubisoft couldn't do a game from everyone? I want to 'git gud', sure! But, I don't want to spend more than a reasonable (for a casual sport games player) number of hours perfecting jumps, speed, precision to a pro level just to beat the campaign.    … Expand

    Great game overall, but the performance on Nintendo Switch gets in the way of the experience. I'm a fan of the series and this is a deal breaker for me when precision is one of the core element of the game.

    Trials Rising is the latest game in the series, and possibly most fun of them all. The excitement I felt as a kid when I played Kickstart 2 on C64 is there, the fun of previous games in the series is there, great additions in form of customization, level building and welcoming community are there. All in all, Trials Rising is a great game!

    Trials Rising is the latest of the nearly-20 year phenomenon which, unfortunately, proves that less can indeed be more. The addition of the mid-game grind immediately dissuades the player from continuing and, coupled with the Switch version’s shortcomings, only highlights how great we used to have it.

    Trials games have always been all about that feeling of “just one more try…”, and Trials Rising is no different. This is the best game of its type on the Switch, and one that’s sure to get its hooks into you and keep them there.
