Aug. 2025

I got this for like $5 but honestly it's worth the $20. It's a really simple game about riding a bike down randomly generated hills and hitting sick jumps. The bike feels good to control and it's fun to go fast and jump high. It's biggest problem is it's own need to give itself a 'rougelike' framing causing it to disincentivize the most fun ways to play the game. At it's best, it's close to something like the Trackmania games, but what if Trackmania had a really strict health system and if you failed a jump like 4 times you couldn't play that track ever again? Bad idea right? Yeah, it is here too. Whenever the game presents a fun track or jump you're incentivized to slam your breaks and carefully avoid going to high or having too much fun at the risk of being punished. It's stupid. Other big complaint is that they've added a feature where landing 'hard' seems to roll an actual dice roll to determine if you instantly crash or not. This is odd considering the game isn't a simulation in any sense and is definitely more an arcadey action game. It's just another way the game keeps you from having as much fun as you want by offering high speed and insane jumps but slapping you on the hand at random for DARING to go fast off that big jump. I still had a good time hitting the end of the first campaign and was really pleased to find a whole second campaign waiting, plus a ton of open world and Trials-like maps to bike through as well. It's also got randomized cosmetic unlocks that act as a fun carrot on a stick if that's something that appeals to you. I'd recommend it, but I'd also recommend the devs let me enjoy the fun game without scolding me for having too much fun. EDIT: I've played another 38 hours and I still think hard landings are too harsh but MAN I really love this game actually. It's great.

Having a mild interest in mountain biking, I was looking to see if there were any games about it. I stumbled upon the Descenders – the game was on sale. After reading some reviews, I didn’t have high expectations and was simply hoping for at least a few hours of fun. It didn’t seem to be my type of game, as I prefer story-rich RPGs, such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Mass Effect. And here I am writing this review after 136 hours and 100% achievements (my first Perfect game, never cared about the achievements so much). :D This game is addictive, easy to learn but hard to master, and offers a highly rewarding sense of progression. The levels are procedurally generated; therefore, even if you become familiar with different regions, you can never predict where the next turn will lead. It keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting. The gameplay is a perfect mix of fun and realism. Yes, eventually, you will be jumping through fire rings, riding mega ramps, riding at incredible speeds, leaping from helicopters, and performing tricks that are impossible in real life. However, the riding still feels realistic, responsive, and satisfying, with mechanics such as pumping and counter-pumping that you will gradually learn. Additionally, it offers a relaxing experience — when you are short on time or do not feel like engaging in a serious game, you can simply opt for a quick career session or a freeride. The graphics are surprisingly nice for such a game and each of the levels has unique feel. Recommended!
