STEEP Open Beta

Is this a game where you climb mountains?

no one? :(

Feels like a snowboard version of Forza Horizon. Not saying it's as good by any means, but there's this huge arse mountain and you basically free ride doing events all over the mountain.

There's a lot of trial and error involved. The controls and in particular the jumping/trick mechanic feels clunky.

I just don't know why the Xbox/PS2 gen got Snowboarding games so right but there's been nothing but shite since. I miss the days of Amped/SSX/Cool Boarders 2001/Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder

I am really enjoying it. It is a beautiful game, and while the controls could be tighter, I think they are pretty close. I like the realism of it, not spinning like a top in the air. The parachute controls are absolute crap tho. Don't think I would spend $60 on it, maybe wait until $40. Open beta is free right now, but it is like a 40gb download

The font in the menus is sooo tiny. Almost like playing a game on an SDTV. I might pick this up, but it does feel a bit empty.
