Almost there are no limits. If you can see it, you can visit it. The game itself warns you about it. There is an official route, a pre-established route, but nobody forces you to follow that path. Break the rules! Follow your instinct, that in the Alps, the brave ones have a much better time. A great idea, the holy grail for any sports fan, but that does not end up working as well as we would like
. It’s fun, of course, because there are few sensations more rewarding than sliding down a steep slope without really knowing what awaits you at the end of the journey; but as I explain in this review, Steep lacks a bit more complexity in his action. After a few hours, however great it sounds to live your own adventure, the experience becomes somewhat monotonous.
Exciting, yes, but not always
It is surprising to speak in these terms when this is a videogame that, first of all, gives you the option to practice four sports , which in the coming months will be more with the arrival of additional content . However, although in general terms you have a good time with any of them
The view in first is very spectacular, but little useful in the playable. Tide over the account, so we’ll reserve it for replays.
When you get on a snowboard or bet on skiing , two practically identical tests, the thing improves … although with nuances. The sensation of speed, the acrobatic jumps and the own open design of the tracks is great; It’s hard not to get excite

rm a caper, and the athlete stays stiff as a stick because, they say, you have acted late. Well, no! I have done just what was expected, a
nd the reaction has not been the desired one. And look what I practiced; but nothing, I’m still there, sometimes suffering this terrible inaction. Something that, of course, has consequences when you look for the best possible score in the acrobatics tests.
There is a wide variety of cosmetic items that we can buy with the money with which we are rewarded throughout the game, or overcoming specific challenges.
There are many good things to extol. Experience, as such, is practically unique in the genre. I do not remember any sports video game that offers you such freedom of action; let you loose for a wide open world so you can enjoy as you want this great ad
venture. The problem, despite the passion of the idea, is that it bores within a few hours. The action is very simple and the game, in general, too monotonous . The challenges it poses are mostly bland evidence. They lack the emotion of other titles like SSX or the classic 1080 ° of Nintendo 64, and this ends up taking its toll.
