I don't think I like this game much, and yet I keep returning to it. A rather plain-looking game with open-world elements that add little to it, there's still something exhilarating in speeding down a mountainside or a dirt track with a cool bike, taking daring turns and death-defying jumps, barely making that front-flip or 360, just to then speed into a tree you didn't notice and break your biker's back.
The Ironman-like career mode is kind of fun in how it encourages playing carefully and building up to opening shortcuts to different worlds, but I still feel like it's a game I'll play for a while and then forget it existed.
I found the soundtrack horrible though. I'm a fan of electronic and all kinds of music that might sound similar to what the game presents, but I found it so repetitive and annoying here that I turned it off. It might just be a matter of taste, but that’s still something that rarely happens to me. And for a chillax game that can be the death-knell, if you're not bringing your own music.
I couldn't find the tutorial, but I feel the game could make good use of it. Also was disappointed that the forest, which is my favourite environment, isn't unlocked from the start.
