Extreme outdoor sports for those who wish to remain indoors.

Snowboarding is hard – really hard. And expensive. Oh, and don’t forget dangerous. But mostly hard.

Steep is a triumph at merging gameplay and presentation to deliver players a sense of place in its beautiful open world. Controlling each sport feels simple yet laser precise, and the diversity in sports and challenges encouraged me to stay in the game even when challenges became too frustrating or uninteresting. Add to this a solid layer of social functionality, albeit shallow when playing with strangers, and you have a game that reaches the great heights it endeavors to recreate.

If you’ve been following COGconnected’s coverage of Steep you’ll know that I enjoyed my time with the short beta that was released. I was eager to see how the game stood up after having more time to delve deeper into the full experience. I’ve always enjoyed a good winter extreme sports game with 1080 Snowboarding on the Nintendo 64, SSX 3 on PS2 and Amped 2 on the original Xbox being among my favorites. Believe it or not, it may be time for them to move over as Steep might just be the best winter extreme sports game yet. It lacks a few things I’d love to see patched in but overall, like the Ch...

The first time I ever went skiing, on the very first day, I managed to knock every other skier over on the baby slope. After experiencing what can only be described as acute snow blindness walking to the hotel, the first hour on the slopes was mainly stumbling to and from the ski lifts. Finally able to see again, I managed to take my first trip down the smallest of slopes and with perfect vision, watched as I collided with everybody else on this particular mountain. No one was left standing in the wake of my destruction. After that day I fell in love with the majesty of the mountains, and the ...

Apart from those things, Steep is a game I really like the idea of. The concept of this cool extreme winter sports game, with great online features as well as content sharing features, combined with today’s graphical standards – it’s a great game idea. In execution, there are a few little things that could have made this game go from good to amazing, and I can’t help but feel a little disappointed in that sense. What I’m not disappointed about is wing-suiting, cruising down the gorgeous mountain side online with real people and the incredible sense of scope that Steep offers. All of the things...

Steep won’t create a new generation of extreme sports fans, but it is a solid title for the existing ones.

7/10

The best snowboarding game for a long time, with an excellent open world environment… and some very odd, and unnecessary, flaws.

Overall, Steep is fun and definitely a world you can get lost in. The map is huge and full of challenges and locations to discover, with each providing thrills and stunts that will keep you coming back for more. Although it could have done better in some aspects, it still provides a fun package that mixes the fun of past arcade sports games, while adding modern elements to not make it feel outdated.

As a gamer, the idea of racing down snowy mountain slopes on a plank of fibreglass with less than half a second between the reality of my face being smashed into a tree or staying how it is, has never really been something that appeals to me. However, if I can do that in the comfort of my bedroom in my track-pants with my blanket wrapped around me with little to no risk of face smashing, then sign me up!
