Trials Rising has an impressive new tutorial, even more extensive customization, and an awesome pool of levels that can be disappointingly discouraging to unlock.

A layer of modern nonsense can't obscure the purest, most entertaining Trials game in an age.

Even with a clumsy progression system, Trials Rising's vibrant tracks, tight controls, and excellent tutorials are some of the best in the series.

Crazy motorbike obstacles will likely always be fun, but a grindy progression loop drags your cycle into the mud

This is the Trials I fell in love with.

Trials Rising expands the engrossing and challenging gameplay from its past entries, but it also fails to address some of their issues.

There's no doubt that Trials Rising is the culmination of the entire series.

I’d say it’s the best Trials game because it’s the one that works that hardest to teach you how to be any good at Trials.

Trials Rising is the (mostly) full package you've been waiting for. With its huge list of tracks to tackle and all the races and trick-based stunts you could ask for, RedLynx has served up the best instalment in the series since Trials Evolution. With a killer soundtrack, tons of customisation and an impressively deep tutorial mode, it's only really let down by a tutorial-free Track Editor. The drop to 30fps might put off those also playing on other platforms and the drop in visual fidelity can be hard to miss at times, but despite its blemishes, Trials has proved its right at home on Nintendo Switch.

The best release in the franchise so far with very fun and challenging gameplay, it gets a little away from a perfect score due to the limited online mode and some small issues

A welcomed entry on a great serie, although it has some flaws on its campaign progression that makes the game a bit less funny than it should have been.

Some unfortunate flaws unnecessarily sour the experience, but this is a welcome return for the Trials series and its unique approach to motorcycle action.

A great Trials game, perfect for veterans and newcomer, with online features is a potential endless game.

While the gear system is full of unwanted fluff, Trials Rising is not. Its collection of well-designed tracks are wonderful playgrounds for its familiar yet still addictive physics-heavy biking gameplay. Familiarity in this case is not a bad thing because of how satisfying it is to improve your technique and overcome new challenges throughout its bevvy of additional modes.

Trials Rising hits all the right gameplay points for an experience that needs to balance entertainment with challenge.

Trials Rising takes us back to basics with the real world inspiring a long series of new and inventive trials, but losing none of the challenge or RedLynx's dark sense of humour. The menus are a bit messy, the loot boxes pointless, and it doesn't really advance the series, but when you get into it this is the series back to its addictive, infuriating, "one more go!" best.
