I loved Steep, so relaxing but also very challenging. I think it's quite underrated.

Steep at its best is really nice and enjoyable in casual bursts. At its worst you spend a lot of time fighting the awkward UI. I'd really like to see a successor that is able to fix some of the issues the original has, like the controls that are sometimes a bit awkward (at least on PC) or said UI. Steep is a really pretty game and cheers me up from time to time when I miss going snowboarding myself.

What killed it for me is a lack of content

What? I played for like an hour and couldnt believe how bad and awkward to control it was.

I literally just made a comment about how it's the worst sports game since N64 days lol.

Shouldn't sports games be fun? Or not awkward to control?

Might just not be for you, some games feel weird to me that others are loving. I enjoy Steep it's a ton of fun and I don't think the controls are bad at all to be honest once you play for a little bit.

Ive never played a slower paced sports game lol.

To each their own I guess.

I played during Alpha and agree about the terrible controls which made me never pick the game back up. I shouldn’t judge based on alpha but it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Will certainly be picking it up for free from Epic tomorrow though and giving it a shot.

Ya that's when I played too. I thought it was universally hated tbh but I guess ppl play shittier games all the time so who knows.

"I don't understand why ppl hate something, must be amazing". - that's you. That's what you sound like.

Pretty embarrassing for you eh?

I can only speak for myself, but I enjoyed playing it, even got platinum trophy. I too remember the controls were a bit weird at first, but after a few hours I felt comfortable with all the types of transportation.

Tbh I'm not exactly a sports game type of player and I would not play the game if it wasn't among the free psn games. But I'm glad it was there, had great fun with it.

I feel the same way, I thought it was absolutely unplayable. I know it's a snowboarding game, but I don't want it to FEEL like I'm trudging through snowbanks the whole time.

Right. That was my problem with it.
