I covered this game as part of my coverage of the Xbox Game Pass for April 2022
Evoking memories of SSX and Amped.
Shredders is a new snowboarding game by a small team, but with an ambitious large mountain and gameplay. Most of the time Shredders an amazing snowboarding game where you’re riding down the mountain, and other times it’s a little janky with a lot of b-tier quality at times. A perfect example is the cameos. This game has famous snowboarders who voiced characters. But every character is completely covered up and a few of the line reads are exceptionally flat.
Yet at the core of Shredders is the snowboarding and in that area Shredders is amazing, it might have issues with the presentation, and explaining its concepts but when you pull off an amazing trick, you feel so accomplished. Almost every mission has at least one or two solid goals you’ll be challenged by, and even when you cheese the system, you still feel a huge sense of accomplishment from your lines and the moves you’ve pulled off.
Pick this up if you’re interested in extreme sports. This heavily reminds me of that feeling of SSX early on but it is far more realistic than that series, but I kind of want to see what this pair of teams who worked on this can do with a second title. I still heavily enjoyed myself with this one, and love the experience of exploring the mountain and tackling all the different challenges. I will also say this game did make me laugh a few times, which is a great sign that they’re not taking themselves too seriously.
