So much better than I expected. A zen, quasi-roguelike, BMX-trick racing game is not a "genre" I would have ever even considered a possibility and yet here we are. Descenders can be relaxing to play or truly high-octance based entirely on your attitude as you play - and that can easily switch back and forth every few minutes.

The first time I played descender I attempted half a dozen of the mini "roguelike" careers in a row, enjoying them all as I inevitably stacked it and died each time

Really worth checking out
