Hey !

Steep is a whole new experience for Ubisoft, through which the French publisher tries to present a game that focuses on winter sports of all kinds, and direct competitor to the most famous games of this genre in the last decade SSX, all this by focusing on the third person perspective and providing a huge virtual world in the Alps gives The free player he is looking for to run a huge number of races and reviews in order to gain more experience and participate in the largest and most famous events.

The game offers four winter sports that can be freely changed. The most exciting of these are free flying and paragliding using a parachute, one-speed skateboarding or speed skating using long boards, as well as the ability to walk to reach some hard-to-reach areas using the above sports .

Each sport has a huge array of events and races divided into two sections: speed races which must be completed as soon as possible and the reviews through which the player gets extra points whenever he can perform more difficult and dangerous acrobatics. Here is one of the main features of the game in simple control Which enables the player to perform dozens of movements at the click of a button based on the movement of his body, and the physical physical in the movement of personality and the additional speed it acquires in the event of the ability to perform a dangerous movement or jump correctly or landing without losing balance, you can finish a full race without a mistake but you six For late not to carry out any spectacular movements or exploit the hills to jump up, unlike another player took advantage of those opportunities to increase the speed of its launch and reach the finishing line in the shortest time.

This precise movement characterizes the design of the virtual world, which can be considered as "large" by the standards of this type of game. It is divided into a group of areas that are not only different terrain but different in difficulty. They can move very quickly and face many challenges. Does not have too much difficulty in finishing the races while he has not gained the necessary experience yet to reach that stage.

What made the world of the game come alive is the ability to see other players even if I did not communicate with them. In each area you visit you will find more than one player exploring the same place or running a competition with you, which explains the need for the game to connect to the Internet, which I consider an advantage here and not A flaw as before in other titles.

If the player decides to communicate with anyone else, the process will be done quickly and easily with the click of a button and without loading screens, and players can participate in races and challenges with 3 other users, which is a limited number compared to the size of the virtual world and the competitions that embrace it.

Unfortunately, Steep adheres to the style that most sports and racing games have recently begun to ignore: individual play or story and focus on content. The story here, even though it was so simple, could have created a distinctive atmosphere for the game and gave the player an additional goal to complete his journey with the same enthusiasm instead of running One after the other without any dialogue or film presentations, only a set of recorded voice calls that are repeated continuously.

The game provides simple missions known as Mountain Story tours in the areas visited by the player for the first time, where each mountain speaks about himself and his terrain with great pride, while asking the player to follow the guide to know the area. I enjoyed doing all these tasks in different ways and getting to areas I did not get to in any other way, and in return received rewarding rewards ranging from clothing and skateboards.

In addition, you can change the glasses, helmet, skateboard, pants or shoe you wear. There are dozens of options in each section to get a different look and look different from any other. However, the game missed the key development options for the character, which could have contributed to increasing the skill of each person by acquiring the ability to carry out a dangerous movement or jump more, or even use the tools to get priority, as a skateboard faster Areas with high thickness To Thleej or flight suit benefit from better air and contribute to raising the player up in the event is about to reach the Earth.

As mentioned above, the game provides 4 winter sports, parachuting is the worst in terms of personal control in flight and transit from certain areas in the races that require it, does not work that part in the same way as the other elements of the game, One-panel skateboarding, which is supposed to provide better speed and control in races, is not much different from skateboarding, which means that the game offers only 3 sports, including parachuting, which will not be played by almost any player .

The graphic level in the game was distinctive, the details of the environment were clearly shown, and the lighting system was different and precise and the player could control it freely. The game also provided good sound performance that combines the shouting and the comedic reactions. The same is true of the soundtrack and the lyrics Confused.

Steep also cares about the social aspect to a great extent, where each player can register any race or challenge to play and share with his friends or with other players, the game also provides statistics huge for every race and analysis accurately to know the player mistakes made in any area specifically to be able to avoid attempts next.

Evaluation - 7.5 / 10
