Technically impressive open world in the Alps, but the wintersports simulation lacks long time motivation and diversity.

As a free playground for winter extreme sports lovers, Steep is a good experiment with fun challenges and a lot to explore, on the other side the game probably should have been more explicit on its objectives and include a limited offline mode.

Featuring systems that focus on community engagement and competition among friends, there are some clever new ideas that haven’t been seen in games before. Still, Steep falls short where it matters most, offering you more moments of anger than adrenaline. If you have plenty of patience then this might be the game for you, though most will end up pissed off rather than going off-piste.

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 that Steep does right will definitely keep me coming back for more.

Surprisingly good game made by Ubisoft in which the open world is not forced y any means. However, it is worth remembering that the game puts more emphasis on exploration than pure madness in the snow (though it is not lacking).

Steep is an admirable effort from Ubisoft Annecy, one that is chock full of decent ideas, but held back by others. This simulation extreme sports title lays down the foundations for what could turn out to be another staple in Ubisoft’s ever growing catalogue.

A flawed experiment, Steep is revolutionary in the most laid-back fashion and full of those charming Ubisoft follies.

Dropping a cliff into a steep pillow line is an entirely different feeling to snapping off a groomed park feature, yet in Steep, it all blends into the same thing.

I'd love more dedication to the snowboarding and skiing parts of the game, but as an out-of-left-field product, Steep is engaging, fun and most of all yours to play, however you want to play it.

A jarring contrast between epic beauty and controller destroying frustration.

Steep is a fun game that offers players some great ways to tackle extreme winter sports. With four different ways to play plus online multiplayer inclusion, if features relatively sturdy gaming mechanics and lots of modes to help immerse you into this realistic and enjoyable title. Sure some of the controls are a little clunky at times but overall, the gameplay, graphics and audio comes together well.

Steep excels in what it sets out to do but glitches, controls issues and graphics inconsistencies during day time (on the Xbox One) drag down the experience.

Overall, a must buy for extreme sports fans and winter sports enthusiasts. Steep isn't without problems, but the good outweighs the bad.

Steep is not a game for gamers, but it is a game for mountain lovers. With gameplay that's easy to learn but hard to master, immerses players in a huge environment full of challenges. Great first contact waiting for a more refined second chapter.

That’s when it works and everything just clicks. At that moment it’s a fantastic extreme sports game. But I can’t wholeheartedly recommend it because it’s got an unusually high number of flaws that are glaringly obvious. I could easily overcome them, others may find them to difficult to forgive. Basically nothing in Steep is ever quite perfect, but what’s here can potentially be a real joy and the potential for a sequel, with these issues ironed out, is absolutely mouthwatering. See you on the slopes.

Steep is only worth bothering with if you’re really itching for some extreme sports flavoured gaming on the PS4, Xbox One, or PC. For everyone else, your patience might be rewarded with a better (and likely cheaper) game months later.

This is not a game for Winter sports fans only. It could attract anyone to participate in its challenges, explore its vast virtual world, and enjoy its various sports whether it's flying freely with a wingsuit or skiing off it's high cliffs. Unfortunately however, the game doesn't give the same attention to all sports in the game, and focuses on visual upgrades for players rather than skills and abilities that affects gameplay.
