Josh Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 This caught my eye the other day, especially as a recovering mountain biker. Looks like fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Ubisoft Do Descenders is a curious pitch. Will see how it plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magness Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Really fluid movement and animation… especially for a game still in development. I hope it’s good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little lowfi at times, but it's been an awesome "chill out" game that I keep coming back to. iainl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about this one is it looks like there are some cross-country trails too which would be super relaxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 This does look rather good, I have to say and this type of thing generally doesn’t interest me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted October 22 Author Report Share Posted October 22 So... it's pretty much what I expected. Great visuals, fun but predictable gameplay, and an equally predictable cringey "storyline" that has something to do with being extreme along with some self-referential humor that I think tries to get above the cliche but just doesn't land. I'll give it more time, though, as I really do like the cycling element. I'm hoping there's more cross-country, chill riding available and not just downhill ride-through-the-ring stuff that we've seen time and again. Have only done solo / offline so far, so I'm guessing that the madness of 50 people online racing might change things up a bit. Quick tip: the first-person view is decades better than 3rd person for this one. They really nailed that. Magness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
