A snowboarding title for enthusiasts: this is Shredders.

Shredders is a fun, straightforward dive into the world of snowboarding, with mostly great controls and movements, and plenty of real-world influences. Some rough edges and often poor performance are all that hold this title back.
Shredders is a lovely return to the snow slopes, updating the experience seen in Amped to our days. Its semi-open world, trials, snow stars and licensed brands will delight fans of this sport. If you're not a fan, maybe this isn't your game, but don't hesitate to give it a try on Xbox Game Pass.

Frustratingly this doesn't let up nearly enough as it should though, because the meat and potatoes of the experience; the exhilaration of just riding, is lost a bit to its gimmicky content-creator-driven lean and goalset.
In the end, I found myself having a good time with Shredders, but there’s still plenty to iron out in its design before it has the chance to be remembered as one of the great snowboarding titles. Its inclusion in Game Pass both on Xbox and PC makes it easy enough to drop in and out as various updates hit, and I’m curious to see where the game will ultimately land.
Shredders does things right and offers a real alternative to the arcade sliding games of recent years.

Shredders fills the void left behind by SSX and Amped with its beautiful visuals, easy-to-pick-up nature, and a story that knows (and pokes fun of) the limitations brought by the indie space. While the game might be a bit jank in some areas, it's still a decent experience that's easy to recommend for Game Pass owners.
This passion project of theirs delivers the benchmark for how a snowboarding title should feel in the hands of the player. Their love for this sport shines through in what they have achieved here and I really look forward to what the team have up their sleeve for the future.
I’m not an avid snowboarder by any means, but I’ve found Shredders to be a delight, a quick and rewarding, pick-up-and-play title that I can jump into for some quick runs after bashing my head against Elden Ring for far too long. It’s full of fun, humour and generally a delight to play.
Shredders is not as challenging as I was expecting, and whilst this limits its overall longevity, it's accessible, laid back and fun to play.
Shredders is a breath of chilly mountain air in the face of snowboarding fans everywhere. If you miss the genre's heyday of Cool Boarders, 1080 Snowboarding, and Amped, then it's definitely time to strap on a new pair of digital bindings.
In Shredders we will find a game that is halfway between a snowboard simulation and a game in the purest retro style with short missions. If we focus purely on playing, we will find an outstanding experience in the world of snowboarding and that knows how to amuse and entertain like few others simply by playing goat from the top of the mountain.

Shredders may not conjure up images of SSX and the like. Still, it presents the sport of snowboarding in a fun, accessible, and realistic fashion that is extremely enjoyable in small doses.
A love letter to the world of snowboarding, Shredders is a passion project that mostly sticks the landing.
Given it’s dropping straight onto Game Pass, and by offering a multiplayer experience straight out of the box, there’s every reason Shredders could be one of the most enduring indie games of 2022, especially as FoamPunch continues to refine what genuinely is a compelling, brilliant experience with a nod to all the snowboard gaming greats that came before it.
