3DNews	Алексей Лихачев	7 / 10	11-07-2021	A good extreme sports game with some questionable design choices which can spoil the experience.	Read review
Areajugones	Ramón Baylos	9 / 10	11-01-2021	‎Riders Republic has been for me one of the biggest surprises of the year. A title whose gameplay is so effective as to knock down all kinds of skepticism and preconceived ideas about open-world games that try to besiege you with a multitude of empty contents. In the end, the most important thing about Riders Republic is that it makes you feel like the king of the mountain in every jump, every skid and in every stunt you manage to land on the ground safe and sound.‎	Read review
Atomix	Rodolfo León	90 / 100	11-05-2021	Riders Republic is an extremely fun game that will definitely please the fans of this sports. And even as a casual gamer, this title offers plenty of accesibility options that make it a very welcoming experience for newcomers.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Thomas Cunliffe	3.5 / 5 stars	11-01-2021	Riders Republic is a fun game that offers a wide range of exhilarating and unique activities that mostly benefit from its 'always online' gameplay model, but also suffers from a few shortcomings. The world feels alive, the Events are a blast and the game looks gorgeous. However, some aspects of the game are a little lacking at launch, namely the multiplayer modes, customisation and air sports.	Read review
BaziCenter	Farnood Samie Yousefi	6.5 / 10	11-09-2021	The Considering that Riders Republic is not a sports simulation and only aims to offer fun and excitement, and even though there are a lot of problems that cannot be looked over and some of them directly affect the gameplay experience, the final package can still be entertaining while you jump on different vehicles and race around the big, crowded and colorful world of the game.	Read review
Bazimag	Vahid Zohrabi Nejad	7 / 10	11-03-2021	Ubisoft developers have used all the things they learned from their previous extreme sports title and made a bigger and more exciting video game. There are of course the usual "Ubisoft Formula" problems but if you get in the right groove with how things work in Riders Republic, you are going to have great times with it.	Read review
But Why Tho?	Jason Flatt	8.5 / 10	10-28-2021	Riders Republic is an awesome, fresh entry in both the racing and action sports genre.	Read review
CGMagazine	Ridge Harripersad	9 / 10	11-13-2021	Riders Republic provides an exhilarating action-sports adventure that will take your breath away with its immersive, eye-candy environments and will have you smiling or laughing throughout.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Taylor King	8 / 10	11-08-2021	Riders Republic offers a cornucopia of extreme sporting choices for players to choose from. By giving enough attention and fine-tuning to each individual sport, it has created an evergreen title to receive future updates or expansions to build upon well into the future. With a solid foundation offering solo and group players fun and exciting experiences, Riders Republic has set the stage incredibly well. While its predecessor Steep failed to capture a lasting audience, I feel strongly that Riders stands a much greater chance at retaining players’ interest due in part to its tongue-in-cheek tone combined with the game’s sheer variety of extreme sports adventures and energetic open world. I look forward to returning to Riders Republic to bike down mountain paths or fly through narrow canyon gaps while listening to alt-rock radio sometime soon.	Read review
Chicas Gamers	Sandra Sánchez	Recommended	11-03-2021	Riders Republic is an amazin' experience where you enjoy of extreme sports and crazy events. This videogame combine a sandbox with all the elements of a sports game. Inside, you have several sports disciplines, such as bike, downhill, snow, and more. You will also improve the sport that you preffer and compete around the world, without any other presure. That's the good point, enojoy the travel, your path, take your own decisions and nothing more. You will enjoy so much if you like extreme sports.	Read review
COGconnected	Mark Steighner	81 / 100	10-31-2021	If you can ignore the game’s obnoxious attitude and in your face corporate sponsorship, you’re richly rewarded with accessible, consistently engaging representations of biking, snow sports, and wing suiting, coupled with a massive and literally awesome environment in which to compete or explore. Those that are into riding the leaderboards–or just playing with their friends–will have plenty of opportunities to fuel their addiction, but I’m guessing that just about everyone can find joy here in just goofing around in this expansive playground, at least for a while. Whether or not Riders Republic sticks the landing and stays in the playlist of many gamers beyond launch probably depends on a steady stream of new sports to try, and if an actual, thriving community pledges allegiance to the Republic’s competitive modes.	Read review
Cubed3	Luke Hemming	8 / 10	12-09-2021	Riders Republic has managed to tweak the majority of small gripes that were in place in an already fun beta release and in its final version, given gamers easily the best extreme sports simulator on the market	Read review
Destructoid	Jordan Devore	7.5 / 10	10-28-2021	Not all of the activities are equally enjoyable in Riders Republic, but the highs — namely, the harrowing downhill mountain bike races and over-the-top snow sports — deliver.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Ben Sheene	8.5 / 10	05-22-2020	Riders Republic is a truly massive extreme sports game that borrows from Ubisoft's better open world pillars. A variety of events and the ability to play against massive servers in a gorgeous sandbox provide a unique thrill that few games manage.	Read review
Digital Trends	Giovanni Colantonio	4 / 5 stars	11-01-2021	Riders Republic is a consistently entertaining extreme sports game that avoids the compulsory trappings of most open-world games.	Read review
Easy Allies	Brandon Jones	4 / 5 stars	11-13-2021	Shaking up a wild mix of extreme sports and rewarding exploration, Riders Republic is a chaotic and unique racing adventure.	Read review
Echo Boomer	Diogo dos Santos	Recommended	11-09-2021	The arcade formula of this new Ubisoft's bet is as accessible as realistic and brings fun to any kind of player.	Read review
Eurogamer	Martin Robinson	Recommended	11-02-2021	Ubisoft builds upon the framework of Steep with this enjoyably eccentric open world extreme sports adventure.	Read review
Everyeye.it	Giovanni Panzano	8 / 10	11-02-2021	Riders Republic is on balance a Steep on steroids. The latest effort of Ubisoft Annecy is a huge playground available to the player and in which you can have fun both in a carefree way and in a more serious way thanks to the total freedom of approach and the countless customizations of the control system.	Read review
Explosion Network	Jacob Hegarty	8.5 / 10	11-19-2021	Riders Republic is one of the more fun things I have been looking forward to playing and relaxing with after a big day. There isn't immense pressure to win every event, and the progression happens with or without it.	Read review
Game Informer	Blake Hester	6.8 / 10	11-09-2021	Riders Republic has some great moments – namely its dozens upon dozens of races – but all of that is cut down by an impressively obnoxious script, unskippable dialogue, and predetermined soundtracks that play ad nauseam	Read review
Gameblog	Thomas Pillon	6 / 10	11-02-2021	Riders Republic tries to improve the Steep formula on many levels, but sometimes fails to really find its own way : by constantly solliciting the players with its trials, rewards, gears, modes and extras, Ubisoft Annecy's new formula sometimes forgets to let us enjoy the ride and its vast landscape.	Read review
Gamerheadquarters	Jason Stettner	7.8 / 10	11-04-2021	Riders Republic is a great extreme sports offering with tons of activities to take part in and a very impressive seamless multiplayer world to explore.	Read review
Gamersky	心灵奇兵	8.4 / 10	11-01-2021	Riders Republic isn't the only game focused on extreme sports. The predecessor STEEP is about skiing, and there is a more hardcore Descenders for cycling. While the experience of Riders Republic is not unique, overall the performance of this game is commendable and impressive.	Read review
GamesBeat	Rachel Kaser	80 / 100	11-05-2021	What you see of Riders Republic is what you get: It’s a well-made and fun sports game in which you bike, ski, and fly over beautiful landscapes, performing tricks and racing other players in short, enjoyable contests. It doesn’t need to be any more than that. It’s not the sort of game that will absorb you for days, nor is it the sort of game that benefits from trying to do too many things at once.	Read review
GameSkinny	Mark Delaney	8 / 10	11-01-2021	Riders Republic boasts an open world full of exciting challenges, scenic views, and the freedom to tackle anything as you wish, making it a surprise hit for 2021.	Read review
GameSpace	Chris Bowman	9 / 10	11-19-2021	Overall, Riders Republic takes what makes Forza Horizon great and puts an X-Games type twist to it. Biking, Snowboarding, and wingsuit races will make you want more action as you complete story missions and events to earn sponsors. Riders republic is out for most major systems and consoles right now for 59.99 USD.	Read review
GameSpew	Kim Snaith	8 / 10	11-03-2021	If you like the idea of thrill-seeking but you’d rather do it from the comfort of your living room, Riders Republic should be right up your street. This is pure entertainment at its finest; a game that’s all about having fun, living in the moment, and not taking life seriously. Play it straight and try to win every race if you want. Or simply speed around dressed in an inflatable giraffe costume. It’s your choice, and that in itself is the beauty of Riders Republic.	Read review
GameSpot	Richard Wakeling	8 / 10	11-03-2021	Riders Republic is a varied extreme sports playground that's both thrilling and approachable.	Read review
GamesRadar+	Josh West	4 / 5 stars	11-03-2021	Riders Republic is a hell of a good time, a freeform open-world sports game that encourages you to follow your passion and find your own fun.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Eric Hauter	8.8 / 10	11-02-2021	Riders Republic can be a ton of colorful fun, with go-anywhere do-anything extreme sports gameplay that is instantly accessible and appealing, all wrapped up in a tortilla of weird goofiness. Engage with the stuff you like, ignore the stuff you don't, and get penalized for absolutely nothing. Riders Republic is most concerned with letting the good times roll-and for the most part, it succeeds admirably.	Read review
GamingBolt	John Cantees	7 / 10	11-02-2021	What Riders Republic lacks in depth, it more than makes up for in variety.	Read review
GamingTrend	Ben Lombardo	75 / 100	11-14-2021	The story is lackluster, the microtransactions are everywhere, but everything else is amazing; it's like being on a rollercoaster ride every single second you play. Ubisoft put its heart and soul into developing every location just so that each race and each moment feels immensely different from the next. It's an absolutely thrilling, immersive experience that does well to keep you entertained for hours and hours on end. If only you could spend more time racing people instead of bots, then it'd really feel like you're working to become the amazing triathlete Riders Republic wants you to be.	Read review
Geek Culture	Jake Su	8 / 10	11-08-2021	A stupendously fun time awaits in a world brimming with possibilities and mayhem at every turn in Riders Republic, just be wary of technical hiccups.	Read review
Generación Xbox	Gabriel Fuentes	8.3 / 10	11-03-2021	Riders Republic is the dream come true for the extreme sports fans and a delightful experience for those who are looking for a fast paced sports game with tons of things to do.	Read review
God is a Geek	Mick Fraser	8 / 10	11-02-2021	If you can get past all the posturing and over-the-top woo-hooing, Riders Republic is a very good extreme sports game.	Read review
GotGame	Paul Jennette	9 / 10	10-29-2021	Riders Republic at first glance seems like something that’s too good to be true. An action sports game with real attention to detail that showcases the true, adrenaline filled spirit of the sports it features.	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Sam Spyrison	4 / 5 stars	11-01-2021	Riders Republic makes a strong case as one of the best and most varied extreme sports games to date, with a solid offering of unique vehicles that are fun to use and master.	Read review
Hey Poor Player	Andrew Thornton	4 / 5 stars	10-31-2021	Once you get through the tutorial Riders Republic opens up into a sandbox only limited by your imagination. There’s enough to do to keep players busy for a long time and enough variety to keep things fresh. So grab your board, hop on your bike, it’s time to ride.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Alberto Lloret	83 / 100	10-31-2021	Riders Republic is a little surprise, an extreme sports game that pick ups elements from the legends of the genre and apply them to a huge open world, more social oriented, but without losing the focus on the fun part. It's far from perfect, but at least try to do something different... despite the micropayments.	Read review
IGN	Travis Northup	8 / 10	11-04-2021	Riders Republic is an excellent, arcadey extreme sports sandbox with bonkers multiplayer events, an impressive open world, and unfortunate server issues.	Read review
IGN Italy	Davide Mancini	8.2 / 10	11-02-2021	Riders Republic is a high-octane ode to joy. An almost perfect extreme sports theme-park open world where having fun is the only thing that matters. Despite a confusing progression and some little hiccups camera and controlwise, Ubisoft Annecy brought in the best part of Steep, The Crew 2 and a bit of punk attitude to create a versatile and compelling experience, even if sometimes a bit too much overwhelming.	Read review
IGN Middle East	Zaher Albalbisi	8 / 10	11-06-2021	Riders Republic is a massive celebration of online gaming with a lot of variety in tracks and events design that always feels fresh, the driving mechanics are great and feel fresh as well but doesn't escape the need for some polishing here and there especially for the camera controls, microtransactions are here in a big way too overpriced way but Luckily it's only for cosmetics and doesn't affect the fun of it all	Read review
IGN Spain	Jose Alberto	8 / 10	11-01-2021	‎Riders Republic manages to be what it sets out to do: a fun, addictive arcade extreme sports video game with a lot of expansion potential. A completely recommended experience whose future is in the hands of Ubisoft's ability to make it grow.‎	Read review
JVL	Raptor	15 / 10	11-19-2021	Riders Republic chooses to offer a community experience in a universe carefully modeled to highlight the disciplines you can practice. Fun is the key word and it's not the few imperfections in terms of gameplay and graphics that should undermine the pleasure of discovery. If you're looking for a refreshing experience, Riders Republic is a title for you.	Read review
M3	P-A Knutsson	4 / 10	11-11-2021	Riders Republic is a game with a glued-on attitude, alarmingly many sports and an overplottered world map. Even so, the game surprises great with great control, varied challenges and a world bursting with fun activities. The fact that we are also not spoilt for purpose with well-made ski, snowboarding and cycling games does not exactly make it worse that we get everything in one here.	Read review
Merlin'in Kazanı	Samet Basri Taşlı	77 / 100	11-03-2021	Riders Republic misses its chance to be a great game due to some of its lacks in customization and gameplay. An extremely fun game that anyone who loves extreme sports should try.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	8 / 10	10-29-2021	Riders Republic is exactly the game it is trying to be, with a modern take on early 2000s xtreme sports games that works in terms of everything except the corporate-mandated ambience.	Read review
MMORPG.com	Steven Weber	7.2 / 10	11-24-2021	Riders Republic is the de facto ruler of extreme sports MMOs. There is no denying that Riders is one of the best extreme sports games to hit the market in a long time, but the massively multiplayer portion of the game could use some work. There is very little cohesion that brings all of the various riders together as part of a republic. Even the main story is solely focused on your specific accomplishments in each of the sports. Luckily, the game is still in its infancy, and the year 1 pass plans to add new multiplayer arenas, and a new sport, BMX Biking, which shows that Riders isn’t done expanding by a long shot. There is more than enough variety to keep players coming back and having fun for months, just with the solo and collectible game alone. If you’re an extreme sports fan, Riders Republic is a no-brainer. For MMO fans looking for more than a madcap mass race challenge, I would let the game mature for a few months longer before picking this one up.	Read review
New Game Network	Eric Hall	78 / 100	11-12-2021	Owing to its precise gameplay and satisfying open-world, Riders Republic has the makings of an extreme sport fan's dream. It just would have been nice if the title's exhausting and obnoxious attitude had been checked at the door.	Read review
Operation Sports	Robert Kollars	Recommended	11-03-2021	Riders Republic lets you play how you want, when you want, at whatever pace you choose. Since our gaming habits tend to vary from time to time, that is an amazing approach. Riders Republic is a throwback for the modern gaming world, and it's one that can be picked up and enjoyed today, next week, next month, or next year. Ubisoft took what Steep started and made something even more worthwhile this time around.	Read review
Oyungezer Online	Sabri Erkan Sabanci	8 / 10	11-25-2021	It was Ubisoft that fed us again in these days when we were hungry for extreme sports games. It's delicious.	Read review
PC Gamer	Phil Iwaniuk	71 / 100	11-02-2021	Extreme sports made accessible to the point of basic. It's got a tin ear but a big heart.	Read review
PC Invasion	Logan Broadley	8 / 10	11-03-2021	You'll find many enjoyable hours exploring, racing, and styling your way around Riders Republic. The world is gorgeous, the sound design and music choices are on point. There are only a few events that will frustrate you. Thankfully, you can mostly avoid these.	Read review
PCGamesN	Jordan Forward	9 / 10	10-29-2021	A sprawling, varied, endlessly fun open-world game, and a glimmer of hope for the extreme sports genre.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	David Carcasole	8.5 / 10	11-04-2021	Riders Republic is at its core a fun game that only wants you to have fun, more than most games. Its UI isn't the best, and there still seem to be some bugs that need to be ironed out, but there are no issues that really breaks your fun all the way. On top of the gorgeous presentation, Riders Republic is easy to recommend for anyone with a liking towards a game where they can flip around three times on a pair of rocket ski's mid-air while dressed as a giraffe.	Read review
Polygon	Chris Plante	Recommended	10-26-2021	Riders Republic is more than a revision of Steep than it is a rewrite, a creative team taking all of the lessons learned from a rough draft and starting over from the beginning. It has more extreme sports, sure, but more importantly, it’s a profoundly more social experience. It oozes joy, without relying on the fundamentals of its contemporaries, like combat, winner-takes-all competition, and melodramatic linear storytelling.	Read review
Press Start	Toby Berger	6.5 / 10	11-01-2021	While it has promise, Riders Republic feels like it needs a bit more time in the oven. For fans of extreme sports, there's certainly something to enjoy here – just don't be surprised when a variety of issues run the experience into the ground.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Thiago de Alencar Moura	80 / 100	11-05-2021	Riders Republic delivers a fun and content-packed extreme sports experience that can keep you entertained for dozens of hours. There are a few issues that need tweaking, but at its core, the game delivers exactly what it needs.	Read review
Push Square	Sammy Barker	7 / 10	11-01-2021	Riders Republic tries so hard to be cool that it deserves a roundhouse kick to the mouth, but Ubisoft's technical chops come out to play here, with an enormous online sandbox stacked to the metaphorical ceiling with high-octane events to complete. This is a game that the French publisher has clearly designed to be built upon, but even day one, with its mix of disciplines and multifaceted Mass Races, it's an entertaining ride. There are minor niggles for the French publisher to iron out, and we'd recommend muting the dialogue, but don't bail on this if you have even a passing interest in extreme sports.	Read review
Rock, Paper, Shotgun	Steve Hogarty	Recommended	11-02-2021	A chaotically structured open world racer, Riders Republic feels like the free roaming SSX sequel we never had.	Read review
Saving Content	Scott Ellison II	4 / 5 stars	11-08-2021	Riders Republic is fast, frenetic, and unequivocally fun. Representing the best of extreme sports with a splash of personality. It’s X Games meets Ridiculousness. This is why we come to games: for fun and adventure. Ubisoft Annecy took lessons learned with Steep and Riders Republic is better game because of it. Riders Republic is rambunctious freedom with harrowing sports that’s unparalleled excitement.	Read review
Screen Rant	Jacob Zeranko	4 / 5 stars	11-01-2021	Overall, Riders Republic is an incredibly fun game that's held back by its controls and the Ubisoft fanfare of microtransactions and content bloating. These issues can be fixed though and with players already being turned off by these issues, Ubisoft will likely take steps to address them	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Oto Schultz	9 / 10	11-02-2021	Rush of adrenaline as you slide down the snowy tops, concrete hills or dive through freezing air. This collection of extreme sports definitely has what you are looking for!	Read review
Shacknews	Donovan Erskine	8 / 10	11-08-2021	Riders Republic is a surprisingly good time with arcade-like extreme sports that feel thoroughly unique from one another. Online events are the best parts of the game, though it can get bogged down by glitches and server-related issues. Despite that, Riders Republic is still one of my surprise pleasures of 2021.	Read review
Skill Up	Ralph Panebianco	Recommended	10-30-2021	Video Review	Read review
Slant Magazine	Aaron Riccio	3 / 5 stars	11-02-2021	A sports bike has two wheels, and wisely, instead of trying to reinvent those, Riders Republic provides players with iconic courses on which to ride its perfectly tuned bikes—and skis and jetpacks to boot. If anything, the developers at Ubisoft Annecy have gone to admirable lengths to make sure that nothing mechanically gets in the way of that fun. How odd, then, that so much of Riders Republic’s gameplay ends up bogged down under onerous checklists and thankless grinds that are the very antithesis of the game’s YOLO mentality.	Read review
Softpedia	Bogdan Popa	8.5 / 10	12-18-2021	Riders Republic is an action-packed game that's not only exciting to play but also very fun to discover, pretty much because depending on the route you choose, everything feels new and fresh even if you're not playing it for the first time.	Read review
SpazioGames	Valentino Cinefra	8 / 10	11-02-2021	Despite not having a concept that we could define as original, Riders Republic manages to capture the player in a loop made of one race after another that entertains and works. Merit of the three main disciplines that give variety to the game, of suggestive scenarios, and of a gameplay suitable for everyone that you can master right away. With little understandable naivety from the point of view of cosmetic content, and a camera that occasionally makes a fuss, Riders Republic is a sports video game that, for quality and quantity of content, certainly stands out in the current landscape.	Read review
The Games Machine	Nicolò Paschetto	8.8 / 10	11-08-2021	What a ride! Riders Republic gives you an amount of freedom that you can hardly find anywhere else, and lets you choose your own path within a happy community that's keen to celebrate your successes.	Read review
The Outerhaven Productions	Kyle Simcox	2.5 / 5 stars	10-30-2021	Riders Republic is an exhilarating open world extreme sports game with a lot of little issues that build up over time. It's lackluster character creator and insistence on interrupting the flow quickly grows tiresome. If you're a fan of Steep, Riders Republic is undoubtedly for you. If you're not though, you can probably wait to play this game.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Jim Hargreaves	6 / 10	11-02-2021	Riders Republic is a game players can effortlessly lose themselves in, even if the gameplay itself is pretty shallow. The endless barrage of events populating the world map become less exciting over time, resembling a shopping list rather than milestones in your ascension to extreme sports godhood. If you're still keen to take the plunge, make sure you have a posse ready to party up with.	Read review
Too Much Gaming	Carlos Hernandez	9 / 10	11-08-2021	Riders Republic is a solid game all around; even in terms of its technical aspects, I hardly experienced hiccups that would hamper the experience. It can make you a believer in games like it	Read review
TrueGaming	Unknown	7.5 / 10	11-29-2021	Riders Republic is an open-world racing game, but at the same time it's another Ubisoft-style game with a busy world map and teen atmosphere that tries to create gravity to lose value and become annoying and repetitive over time.	Read review
Twinfinite	Andrew McMahon	3.5 / 5 stars	11-02-2021	With how the current controls and gameplay loop sit, though, I can’t find myself wanting to sit down and play this much longer after its release. Here is to hoping Ubisoft and Riders Republic get even more extreme in the future.	Read review
VG247	Dorrani Williams	Recommended	11-05-2021	It's certain to make you smile and burst out with laughter with how silly it can get at times, make you feel a sense of achievement and satisfaction when completing objectives, and also make you want to throw your controller out the window when you just can't seem to win a race no matter how hard you try. Just don't expect too much from the Mass races.	Read review
Washington Post	Mikhail Klimentov	UnscoredFALSE	11-09-2021	For lack of a better way of phrasing this, “Riders Republic” is extremely breadlike. You can enjoy bread on its own merits. But more often than not, just eating bread is a very sad experience. Good eating means toppings: olive oil with some pepper, butter, cold cuts, a bagel with a thick schmear — you get the idea. Likewise, “Riders Republic” is a game that cries out for some kind of second thing — music, a podcast, a phone conversation, whatever — while also completely avoiding the now-common language of tasks and chores that usually comes with “maintenance” or “podcast games.”	Read review
Wccftech	Nathan Birch	8.5 / 10	11-02-2021	Riders Republic’s posturing is more than a little phony and the game may be a bit mechanically simple for some, but its playground is an impressive one. With travel still difficult, Ubisoft’s sometimes-breathtaking recreation of America’s greatest national parks feels like something to be grateful for, and this game’s wide range of activities and challenges means almost everyone will be able to find some way to amuse themselves amongst its peaks and valleys. Riders Republic is a surprising breath of virtual fresh air.	Read review
Worth Playing	Cody Medellin	8 / 10	11-10-2021	If you can get past the initial hour, Riders Republic becomes a very strong title. The world is a joy to explore thanks to the many biomes and landscape types you see. Compared to the rest of Ubisoft's open-world games, each pip on the map serves a much higher purpose than providing something to keep you busy. The instantaneous fast-travel, and the races pull off many adrenaline-pumping moments that you'll want to revisit. The title still has some issues, like some odd collision during the exploration and the unnecessary presence of microtransactions. Fans of racing will love what the various Ubisoft studios have pulled off with Riders Republic.	Read review
Xbox Achievements	Dan Webb	80 / 100	11-02-2021	A definite improvement over Steep, thanks to the Mass Races and the new bike discipline, but Ubisoft Annecy have still got a lot of work to do if they want to break into upper echelons of gaming. It should look to Playground Games and how they craft an elite open-world sports game if they want to reach that next-level, then maybe they too could be mentioned in the same breath as SSX Tricky. Fingers crossed, the potential is definitely there!	Read review
