Steep Road to the Olympics

amazon Steep Road to the Olympics reviews

While there is no requirement to play “Become a Legend” first, Steep: Road to the Olympics still recommends that players prioritize this game. It is mostly a 3-hour tutorial to familiarize both new and old players with the subjects’ format at the Olympic Games. Players play the role of an extremely sharp contestant in the free performance segment (Freestyle) and win the medals and enter the ranks of “master” athletes in the winter sports segment.

The bright spot in the Become a Legend game is the documentary videos that interview excellent athletes in real life. It can be said that they get to know more about their experiences and their worries once they start surfing are told in different styles but share a particular passion in their tones, perhaps the most interesting non-play-related moments in Steep.

However, it is quite a pity that the rest of the Become a Legend play item is under-invested. The permissiveness of each category’s score requirement can be omitted (since it’s also a tutorial game after all!), But they re-use levels that players could join in the section. The free open world is at a greater difficulty, making the repetition of both the racetrack and the competition area inevitable. The low level of challenge also makes the commentator’s slightly excessive compliments ridiculous. His excitement cannot help the writer feel like he has made a mark on the calendar. History, while the 1,100 score from the Big Air jump I just did was not impressive.

The amount of content for the Steep: Road to the Olympics is also worryingly modest. The game does not allow players to choose which skins players use when competing at mainstream events but must “stick” in a single uniform. Although the Japanese map in this expansion is on the same scale as the Alaska Denali, the total number of events (both the Olympics and Ubisoft’s free events) is too small compared to the $ 30 amount. Players have to pay to enjoy this expansion. That’s not to mention that, for some reason, the game throws high difficulty events straight into the closest starting area on the map.

With Steep’s recent updates “loosening” the way G-Force and physics are loaded with a more stable feel, Steep: Road to the Olympics Japan map is also designed to make the most of it. New features by cramming lots of narrow canyons and thin treetops for the player grinding the skateboard. Even there is no shortage of winding trails and well-positioned snowy cliffs. The terrain may not “go down” continuously like the original maps. Still, it ensures the seamlessness between the roads and the density of alternating hills that players can “enter” while moving freely.

Steep: Road to the Olympics’ usual events are not much different from the original game content, but its “worth” point lies in the Olympic events with many interesting formats around single and double skateboarding. For single skaters, we have Parallel Giant Salom, which is a zigzag run through timed checkpoints. For double skaters, the Slalom events with roads full of dangerous corners will be a huge challenge for any racer with high patience as most Slalom races stretch on less than two minutes. Both modes also have mixed events like Halfpipe, a Freestyle event where the player scores high while performing acrobatics in a pipe of snow cut in half. Downhill, Cross, or Slopestyle blend timed / obstacle racing with enough variety and tough challenges enough to make even the pro gamer break a sweat.

For the writer personally, the most interesting event is also the one the easiest, it’s Big Air – a single jump, a single chance to perform a “fire,” three times. Make and pool scores of three turns to win a gold medal.

Despite the lack of lengthy Freestyle events like the original version, Steep: Road to the Olympics compensates for a decent length double skateboarding session. Especially with Downhill when the player slides down the slope at high speed, be dizzy, and must have enough speed to turn the cornering firmly. The game sections allow Freestyle players to be arranged with many objects to sharpen the plank and enough tools to support maximum points, although some paths may not be clear and easy to make the player go the wrong direction. The last thing that surprised me was that the new formats benefited quite a bit from the first-person point of view of the GoPro dashcam, especially with the occasional skateboarding timing races where players can easily. See the road and the corner more because no character model is blocking the 1/4 screen.

In short, Steep: Road to the Olympics brings a lot of new content (although not worth the $ 30 price tag) for Steep, and that’s enough for those who need more reason to spend time. Space into the game after the events of the original game. Suppose you were expecting this expansion to make the game less of the “lack of direction” of the original game.

You might be disappointed, because in general, Steep: Road to the Olympics still possesses the spirit of “self-experience, self-tinkering” and expands it with new modes and events, rather than changing the freely designed core of the game.
