Overall I've had a pretty good time with this. You'll enjoy the new board sports more if you learn to carve instead of relying on the brake button. It sounds minor but this is key to how you really experience the "realistic" qualities they've captured so well here in the feel, especially snowboarding. Unless there are major changes as it moves through early access, I probably won't put as much time in as I did the first game. I have a bike bias (and there are very few bicycle games as good as the original) and board sports are a pretty well trod path in games, but DN succeeds in transposing its particular survival risk/reward style in this new direction. It feels a bit more like an expansion than a sequel to the original Descenders. So far, the only big differences besides the switch to boards are a new and confusingly similar career mode to the original roguelike-style survival mode where you explore the same biome for longer with checkpoints. I find the new mode gets tiring quickly because the lack of variety in biomes (especially with snowboarding) starts to lay bare the fact that the procedural generation isn't noticeably improved from the first game. It's still totally serviceable, just kinda boring. There really aren't any new mechanics to be found outside of this mode either, it's all very copy/pasted from the first game. Another big downside to board sports vs bikes is that you can't really do slower skill/balance content like some of the obstacle courses and parks in the first game, which were an awesome contrast to the high speed stuff. Despite those gripes I'm happy to support the devs with this and hope they find new interesting ways to mutate the gameplay from the original into something more distinct. The concept in general is still brilliant and has tons of room to grow.
There's a lot of weirdly negative sentiment around this game which I'm not sure I fully understand. The original Descenders was (and to a certain extent still is) one of my favourite games, but after Descenders Next it feels very strange going back. Snowboarding in particular feels incredible. The rush of the wind and the spray of the snow as you take a corner tighter than you probably should at 80KM/h is always a fantastic feeling. They absolutely nailed the exhilaration of speed and the almost floating on air feeling that snowboarding provides. Mountainboarding is less my cup of tea. It feels heavier, and the physics seem jankier. Plenty of times I should have been thrown off the board, but because I technically landed on one wheel I get to spin around in place and continue on. It's just not quite as nice. It's great that the developers support the Steam Deck, including offering a special graphics preset for it, but I would like to see better performance. While it does look nice, I don't think the graphics on offer should demand a 20 series RTX card at *minimum spec*. Having good FPS makes the game feel so much better, and as much as I would like to constantly play it on Steam Deck, booting it up on the PC just makes for a more pleasant experience, despite the non portability. I'm looking forward to seeing where RageSquid takes this. While it's still fun at the moment, there's plenty of potential here for an even greater experience. I'll be keeping a close eye on the updates.
I don't know what are you expecting from this review. For real, are the same developers that made the best Bike game ever made but now with boards and new expanded ideas. If you want a summary, you need to try it, the level of freedom and manual control you need to master is really impressive and immersive. My brain always turn on, that feel of concentration I have when I do Biking and Skiing is really wild. Please always play on First person perspective you won't regret it. As for the date the game is really in a good shape and I'm really happy for the future of this project. Thank you for reading me. -Cynda
First, Disregard my measly playtime on Steam, i've already put 50 or something into the gamepass version and decided to purchase it to support the Devs. Descenders is one of my favorite sports games of all time. Descenders Next is pretty good, but in its current state is veryyyyy bare bones. It's enjoyable, but is still in progress. Right now, the physics are a little bit off. It seems that there isn't enough friction. You gain way too much speed way too quickly with no truly effective way of slowing down. The 'intended' way to slow yourself down is to carve and weave, but you gain so much speed so quickly that its mostly ineffective. This is by far the largest feedback from the community at this time. Also, the procedurally generated tracks are currently in an experimental phase and don't have any variety. Right now there appear to only be the "Standard" track, the "Fire" Track, and the "Danger" Track. And all three need some tweaking to their procedural equation. In addition, the "sponsor" feature is not fully implemented yet. You can pick a sponsor from one of three: Kinetic (speed), Arboreal (vibes), and the community favorite: Enemy (tricks). Once you qualify for sponsorship you get some neat gear, but thats it. No new challenges or goals. Largely, I can't wait to see where this game goes and I'm stoked to see what they do to this game. I am doing my very best to be patient hahaha.
