I think this is one of those games where you probably already know if it's for you or not.

I really enjoyed Steep, really enjoyed this, will probably really enjoy the next one if it ever gets made.
I found the downhill biking and wingsuit events genuinely quite exciting (especially in first-person) and the various collectibles that are dotted around the giant and varied map were actually pretty fun to collect thanks to all forms of sports being constantly available to you.
The UI is definitely over-complicated and the matchmaking falls apart given everyone is riding with different level transportation (and those levels massively affect the speed at which you travel), but as a single player experience (which, granted, you stupidly cannot access whilst playing offline) I thought this was a blast in which I was more than happy to see to the end of each sports career.

I remember the licensed Steep soundtrack being way better than this though and ended up resorting to playing Spotify from my PS5 whilst playing which works a treat!
