    played for about 2 hours. done some boarding, skiing, jumping/flying. Got bored quickly due to the game just feeling like its repeating its self. Game itself is a good idea having a whole mountain to explore, etc.

    Got this game overX-Mas and was looking forward to playing. Downloaded the digital version from the Xbox Store. Not sure why the digital download is full price of $59.99, but you can buy the disc version on Amazon for less (49.99). I thought the digital version was suppose to be less? After dl'g, I went to play by starting the game, and it would not connect to the Steep server. And,Got this game overX-Mas and was looking forward to playing.

I thought the digital version was suppose to be less? After dl'g, I went to play by starting the game, and it would not connect to the Steep server. And, without that connection, the game could not be played at all. I guess there is no playing offline. I tried resetting everything, still the same Steep server connection error. Ubisoft support was useless, as I could not even get through. Fortunately, I got through to Microsoft who was real good and refunded me the money spent on this game. Ubisoft makes even EA look good. I think I am likely done with Ubisoft games. This one was a complete waste of multiple hours of my time. I'm just glad that Microsoft refunded me.… Expand

    This game is utter tut, the only fun parts it just going around of your own accord, the challenges are all stupidly enraging due to the controls being so loose it feels as though you have 0 control over what your character does, and the trick system is so clunky and inaccurate it makes doing any sort of trick about as hit and miss as it gets, unless you just literally want to ride aroundThis game is utter tut, the only fun parts it just going around of your own accord, the challenges are all stupidly enraging due to the controls being so loose it feels as though you have 0 control over what your character does, and the trick system is so clunky and inaccurate it makes doing any sort of trick about as hit and miss as it gets, unless you just literally want to ride around on a mountain for hundreds of hours avoid this game at all costs… Expand

    This game should be so incredible but it can't decide if it wants to be a Sim or an arcade game. The controls are so frustratingly unintuitive. It constantly demands insane tricks and high scores but the physics, hit detection and control layout simply don't allow for that. You just end up hitting try again over and over again until you rage quit.

    Fun in a mindless way. I got it for the snowboarding but it’s so arcade focused and the controls aren’t as immersive as I would like. If you actually snowboard and understand how to ride at a decent level there’s not too much joy in it. Mark McMorris Infinite Air is a way better game if a more sim oriented experience is what you’re after.

    Steep is the best snowboarding / skiing / extreme game you will find out there. Ubisoft managed to re-invent this gaming genre just like EA Black-Box did with the Skate franchise. Ubisoft understood that there is much more in these games than crazy combos and impossible tricks, and there is an audience who is looking for a more realistic experience.

    It could have been something special, and there’s tremendous potential for a sequel, but for now, Steep feels like a game of two halves. It tries to do too much and fails to capitalise on what it does best, and as such, makes for a tricky game to recommend.

    Patchily enjoyable but the novelty of a return to the slopes soon wears off. [Feb 2017, p.78]
