Steep™

I personally got this game at a very big sale (i got it for 5.99ca) but i would pay the the full price of it. It may be a little grindy but its not an isue at all if you love skiing please get this game.

Very fun high quality game. It is difficult, and the controls are a little strange sometimes, but once you've played for a while you get pretty used to it. There are a lot of places that allow you to get cool realistic pictures. 9/10 would recommend.

Another one of those games that if your itching to hit the slopes while the summer heat is on the rise, this IS the game you need to satisfy it. 9/10.

Game is a lot of fun still after almost 10 years. Used to play on xbox back in 2016 and loved this game. Graphics are very good for being from 2015-2016.

honestly, I fail to see what the hype was about. while its mostly a down hill winter sports game that allows a pleasant variety of sports. its not great at any particular one. the controls are sluggish and non precise. I would have hoped or expected for a few rail parks or some natural formations. which there is too few of. there isn't any way to nose or heel press to combo multiple tricks together from one jump to another. while other games in the past have boasted dynamic snow depth this game provides none that I can perceive. not gonna lie, I remember stoked feeling about as fun and thats not saying much to bring this game up a peg. playing games like cool boarders and shawn white pro snowboarding was way more fun as there was always something to do and they never took themselves too seriously. the tricks feel repetitive. what this game does is try to be too many things at once and thats its biggest flaw because none of them stand out to be the best it can be amongst its peers. its an average experience on all of them that fails to put forward anything new other than its attention deficit.

It's just so good. Everything, from the map to the graphics, the gameplay the minimal HUD and the scenery. Oh and i have to talk about the soundtrack, this game has THE BEST soundtrack i have seen before. The game also frequently gets disqounts on it so it's affordable as well.

Looked like a good game played it all day and gott boring after that havent played it since

I can sit and play this for hours without realising.I understood everything within the first like half an hour.Stunning visuals.So glad I got this on sale:)

This game is majestic, I love just back-flipping off a cliff and somehow surviving it. would 1000% recommend.

If you are planning to buy this game, wait till it's on sale and buy the X Games Gold Edition, for it contains the true Steep experience. Now on to the review.
I played this game on the Xbox One back in 2019. This game is still absolutely great, even though most of time you will be falling because you lightly tapped a rock. On top of that, if you hit anything during a race, it's best to restart, making it a fun and difficult experience. This game also has a one of the funniest customization option I have ever seen. So in summary, this game is worth a try.

*Picked up the Game and all the DLC on sale*
Not amazing or anything but game plays fairly well in most aspects, Reminds me of the SSX games back in the 2000's. Good game to just pick up and play. Good game despite Uplay's horrendous program and service

100% Achievement Review: A quick review based on my experience completing all the (available) achievements.

Title: Steep

Summary: Open world winter sports game

Personal notes: Steep is a fun arcade style winter sports game. You get access to various winter sports such as skiing, boarding or even crazy wing-suits. And what is a multitude of sports without beautiful locations such as the Alps to utilise them in? That being said, the environment and overall world design is honestly top notch. I found myself messing around with the photo mode more often that I would like to admit because of this. The soundtrack is pretty good albeit a little small but you can easily just throw on any tune you'd like. I would also like the addition of a go-pro (first person) mode, this lead to a lot more realistic but peaceful sessions. The only issue I had personally with Steep was that the map would sometimes glitch out. This might be due to the fact the map is super detailed, up to the point you can get a close up of riders descending the hill. Otherwise though I had no technical difficulties. Achievement wise I had a blast completing all the challenges and stories hidden around the mountains. Some of them are quite difficult but can all most likely be done with some practice. I do want to point out that you need two DLC's to actually 100% this game, those being Winterfest and the Extreme Pack respectively. With all this in mind, I do highly recommend this game to any sports fan, ski and snowboarders especially. It also goes on sale for pretty cheap quite often.

Time it took to complete: 29hrs

Most difficult achievement(s):
- Legendary Legend! (Reach the LEGEND rank in 6 different fields of expertise)
- No more secrets (Find 110 Drop zones, 115 challenges and 149 Point of Interest in Alps)
- 24 carats Gold challenger (Get 115 Gold Medals on Alps Public Challenges)

Difficulty rating:
★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆ 5/10

Overall rating:
★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10

I bought during the steam sale and shouldve realized this was Ubisoft. No one wants to launch a game with ur janky launcher and for the love of jeezus please have a start menu where u configure display settings prior to starting gameplay

good game. Js wish they could add more sports and certainly not weird sports. Also, adding more skiing missions won't hurt anybody but other than that it's great.

Got it on sale for like four bucks. For that price its a good bit of casual fun. I kinda hate that it is chronically online because my internet isn't always great, but I can't fault the game because I'm woefully out of step with the world. So, as much as I'd like the game to touch grass now and then, i still enjoy playing it.

Have you ever wanted to pretend to be a cool snowboarder but didn't have the money or time to go all the way to the mountains and endure the literal numbing cold that makes everything suck? This game isn't VR but it is the best experience of being a snow stunter that you can get without being in pain and coughing up small amounts of blood from altitude sickness. You can even do things that most other games don't have; for example, you can literally use a rocket wingsuit. Rocket wingsuits are AWESOME bro. But all in all if you are looking for a game to have some fun and be silly in this is a good game to do so.

Great snowboard game. Very cozy to play and fun with friends. The graphics are also top notch.

Listening to Come As You are by NIrvana while barrelling down a cliff at 100km/h is peak gameplay

Great game to chill. I play it with some chill music and its giving some vibes. Good graphics and physics. Recommend it.

It's aite. Definitely wouldn't pay full price for it. It's full of stuff locked behind another paywall. Classic ubisoft. Not bad for something to do with your hands while listening to a podcast. It's nothing particularly exciting but if it costs like $5 go for it.

Love it !

Fell down roughly 400m at about 100km/h head-first into a rock and yet, instead of instantly transforming into a pile of goo, I stood back up and said to myself - "That, was, AWESOME!"

An overall fun and exciting game, where you can snowboard, ski, sled, wing-suit and more to your hearts content on some beautiful mountains, you can either chill with your peeps and ride freely or challenge yourself with the range of challenges in the game, most of the time it's a grand ol' time but some of the challenges might make you rage a little bit until you understand *what* exactly you're meant to do.

this game started off as a random cheap purchase (on sale it was round £5 for me) and I expected the game to hold my interest for like 3 hours until I moved off to the next "big" game, instead I ended up locking in, 100%'ing the achievements and even tried challenging for a few world records (I got close a few times tbh) so this game is easily addictive once you get into it.

Only slight annoyance to some of the options (like the sled) is that it's locked behind the DLC, and that at least one set of DLC (The Olympics) is no longer purchasable, meaning you can't truly 100% the game, however at least Ubisoft realised that and removed any achievements you couldn't get from said missing content.

Steep is 100% worth picking up on sale, especially if you get it with the DLC, boot it up whenever you're having a bad day and just throw yourself down a mountain or two, it can be therapeutic.

it's so fun to zip down a mountain, parachute in the sky, or fly so close to the ground you could touch it. this game is all about living with danger every single day, yet manages to be so fun and chill at the same time. great game. 9/10

The gameplay can both be relaxing or hard, depending on what you want to do.

8/10 to many stupid dlc's

horrible game, shitty controls, map doesn't work at all, not realistic, 1/10 DO NOT buy, it is not worth your time and money.

the graphichs are nice and the game runs smooth the game is also not pay to win you can get the DLC's with the coins instead of paying real money

very fun and good graphics

main game has 5 sports: ski, snowboard, wingsuit, rocket wingsuit and paraglider.

- you'll be mostly doing the first two as they are the most fun ones in races or free roam.
- vanilla wingsuit is kinda meh as there is no mechanic like changing sports in mid-air (starting with wingsuit and quickly changing to snowboard would be dope) and wingsuit races are keeps getting harder and irritating.
- rocket wingsuit is useful while unlocking fast-travel spots and new regions but discovering regions are kinda feels empty as they don't mean anything but unlocking new races.
- paraglider is COMPLETELY BORING AND HARD TO CONTROL. NOT FUN AT ALL.
- dlc sports are also meh and can be bought with in-game money, so DO NOT buy them with real money.

in a nutshell, with skiing and snowboarding, the game makes you entertain for 10 hrs, then, everything about it becomes repetitive as the races are getting harder and turns out to be die-repeat-die-repeat cycle which is not fun and smooth like the early stage of the game. as a ssx fan, i can recommend steep (when it's on sale) for a solid 10-15 hrs for its high-grade riding mechanics and graphics if you're into snow sports.

its a very chill game just to play around on especially if you dont have the money or experience to actually ski or snowboard

Realistic graphics and fun play

Could have been a perfect game if Ubisoft actually gave a shit about their customers. This game is riddled with the most obnoxious bugs the worst of which is the fact that they didn't even properly offer controller support. A random person had to make the correct layout for everyone and then you have to go find it and download it JUST to have the game WORK PROPERLY.

Don't even get me started on the fact that the entire game's progress is tied to being online. Meaning, no online = NO GAME PROGRESSION.

Ubisoft is disgusting just like EA, the worst of the worst.

I love this game has realistic graphics and fun game play but i would love if they added more resorts such as resorts in the USA and Canada.

such a chill game to play and everytime you play explore something new

played this game too much and basicallt have no challenges left + cant get DLCs

Game breaking bug, game wont go past loading screen i love ubisoft

great phisics and graphics

Skate 3 but for snow sports.

Played it on the Xbox One, played it on the Series X, Played it on PC.
Fly around, do whatever you want.
Good game however the HR's up at this games company are starting to focus on monetising it which nobody likes, focus on bugs and features please!

Ubisoft has an amazing talent. They can take amazing ideas for games, put a whole bunch of work and effort into them. And still make them totally dog shit. The controls are beyond janky. The game will just randomly restart or end events as you are trying to look at the map or pause the game. And it's stuffed full of stupid micro transactions.

This game is too frustrating. It feels as you get chucked in the deep end right from the start of the game and some of the challenges are ridiculous.

Overall i think its a cool game but this game in terms of what you do as a story is awful. You complete challenges over, over and over until they become down right impossible where you can be there for an hour or two on ONE SINGULAR COURSE. Another major issue is the validating checkpoints in some challenges. I cannot count the amount of times i jumped through a checkpoint and it didn't 'validate' it. If that's the case they need to add someway so players can practice rather than points of interest on the map. Like go to a certain point in a challenge or maybe like a rewind like in Forza. Its so frustrating especially with random stops from the board or skii's that make no sense. I also dislike the rocket wingsuit due to the boost control for keyboard. Its just unusable unless you have a broken finger that is bent 180 degrees the other way then your good.

Don't recommend, i think it can and will feel like a waste of money for those who get easily frustrated like i do. For others than enjoy the 'competitive' style of down right impossible challenges presented to new born players then go for it. The start of the game is bad for many reasons due to no detailed tutorial but rather before every challenge rather than in the middle of one, pausing the game to give small tips or what not. Its bad in my opinion. Some things are fun and you may find the things i criticise to be wrong at some points too and thats fine. These are my experiences. I don't recommend but you can give it a shot.

Got this at a great discount, still a great game after all these years. Sad to see it was given up on.

After scalping yourself with a spoon in r6 this game is perfect to relax to. best game they released in a long time. Glad the community is still active

I don’t know what the negative reviews are on about. This game is peak, quite literally. The controller support is good from my experience, if you don’t like it just use steam big picture mode you big ass baby. This game is for all the dudes who saw games like Tony hawk and Shaun white and were upset with the limits to speed and what your character can take. You can jump of a giant cliff on a snowboard, hit like 10k tricks, and land fine, and it is so satisfying. Throw in wingsuiting and parachuting too, and you have top of the line fun. Multiplayer too, not just with friends, but other real people hitting the slopes like real life. The listening to music while riding around vibes nearly top the listening to music and swinging around in spider man 2 vibes. Do reccomend.

Game is genuinely awful if you want to use a controller. Almost impossible to even play. Half the time when you are trying to hit jumps, instead of jumping, your player will brake. It seems as if every control is actually mapped to another button. Controller support is just awful and would never recommend this game on pc.

This game, even though sometimes can get annoying and frustrating, is a great game and I definetely suggest you play it. Really fun and satisfying hitting ski or snowboard tricks. I do prefer skiing though.But that's on me and it's on you whether your choice is skiing or snowboarding. So, yes. If you can afford performance wise and money wise the game, AND you have a controller, then i suggest you play it.

The games graphics are really good for a game that old, it's not really outdated compared to modern games the challenges are pretty good except for a few, the dlc's also bring some new fun things to the game, ofc it still has the stupid ubisoft launcher requirement and all that ubisoft BS but it's really worth buying at a DISCOUNT.

Literally unplayable.
I didn't land exactly in the circle in the tutorial. Now the only thing I can do is slowly walk around in the snow.
Would be fine in pretty much any other game I've played but for some reason this game has no restart button.
I've never seen this. There's no shortcut, the escape menu has no restart option, you can't select a level. No access to a main menu (I don't even think there's one).
I can't delete my save file because it's in the "cloud".
I can't restart the tutorial unless I make another account and buy the game again, which I obviously won't do.

Thanks Ubisoft, I'll never buy from you again.

This game felt like Forza Horizon 5 (derogatory) at times. The events are often just boring if not annoying, the highlight is definitely the freeroam but even that gets boring as hell after a while.

great game for people that like winter, beutiful graphics and absolutely worth my money

very fun and lots of stuff to do!
