Trials Rising is the latest of the nearly-20 year phenomenon which, unfortunately, proves that less can indeed be more. The addition of the mid-game grind immediately dissuades the player from continuing and, coupled with the Switch version’s shortcomings, only highlights how great we used to have it.

Trials' gameplay is as flawless as ever, but some bad design decisions cripple a great game.

Staying true to its essence, Trials Rising becomes friendlier to those less familiar with the title and manages to raise the bar of difficulty for the fanatics.

Mar 7, 2019

Trials Rising boasts one of the best track selections of the entire franchise. Sadly, paired with forced online connectivity, convoluted menus and completely unnecessary lootboxes.

Trials Rising is a 2.5D racing game that because of shortcomings of its developer team can't become anything more than a entertaining game. However there are some big and small charms in it that can convince the fans of series or even other gamers to experience the game; although this experience isn't complete and faultless, but it's definitely lovely and enjoyable.

Trials Rising, as far as everyone is concerned, fulfills your wildest dream of doing idiotic flips, crazy hoops, and mindless stunts that are deemed nearly impossible in real-life for kicks even if the game rewards you with blatantly horrible and bland cosmetics.

Trials: Rising is a tricky one to score. At its very core what makes the Trials games so addictive, so satisfying and so god-damn rewarding is still present. Once again I found myself clutching the controller at 3am with a slightly manic expression plastered across my sweat-covered face, mumbling something about needing to bounce the back wheel off that edge to shave off some time. Once again, I found myself thinking, “Just one more go. Alright, maybe two.” again and again and again. It’s just irritating that Trials, arguably the quintessential example of a sleek game, has got bloated in this latest iteration.

Trials Rising, another excellent racing platformer hybrid, is bogged down slightly by an ugly loot box economy and an unnecessary leveling system.

Trials Rising is the latest game in the Trials series, a name associated with very high and demanding difficulty levels. This chapter brings to the Nintendo Switch a game that is both very fun but also affected by technical flaws. While the experience is mostly positive, it's important that the flaws get corrected through updates, as that would significantly improve the experience.

There's a certain sneering satisfaction to defeating everything the game throws at you on a particular track.

New game in Trials series features addictive gameplay and nice physical model. It suffers from outdated graphics, long loading times and limited customization options. However, fans should like it anyway. Just don't play a Nintendo Switch port - it is bad.

The physics are still phenomenal, and the series has retained its addictive quality, but it can occasionally feel like a game looking for answers to questions that didn't necessarily exist to begin with.

Trials Rising dishes out the tricks we've come to expect from the series. Developer RedLynx steps up their level design and delivers more content than ever, but overly-familiar mechanics and unseemly microtransactions make it hard to get too excited about the game. If you're hungry for new Trials action, this game delivers, but don't expect it to rise to the occasion if you're already weary of the formula.

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

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

Trials Rising is a fun game. There will be who plays it for a while just to see the different ways you can crash or to see it's wacky tracks. And there will be who wants to master it's controls and become an expert in the game. This is the game's greatest accomplishment, that it can be fun for different type of players and everyone will have a unique experience with it. Although, it will become kind of repetitive pretty fast.
