Steep is low key one of the most interesting games of the year /MNqp7eY3DY- Chris Plante December 6, 2016 The gameplay and what little dialogue and story is here seem to be from two different games the notion of an extreme sports competition is at odds with the pleasure of finding oneвЂ™s way down a mountain for nothing more than the experience. Notice the disconnect between the serenity of the ride and the brash voice-over that smacks the moment I cross the finish line. The final couple minutes are captured in the video below. It was peaceful, serene, and beautiful, nothing like an extreme sports game. For five minutes, I made my own way, taking fast routes through valleys sometimes, other times trying to find a shortcut over a steep hill. One quest - I use the term loosely - sent me in search of a location miles down the mountain. It calls to mind the snowboarding of AltoвЂ™s Adventure, the sand-surfing of Journey, and the parachuting of Just Cause, but with no obligation to progress.

Steep is, in its best moments, meditative.

The result is something other mediums - film, books, even board games and sports - canвЂ™t offer: the fun isnвЂ™t in the story or even a gamey mechanic. Once youвЂ™re in the game, thereвЂ™s no loading, just skiing, snowboarding, wing-suiting, or paragliding. The time between the bottom of one mountain and the top of another mountain or a hot air balloon basket somewhere in between is only limited by how fast you can work the menu. This is familiar, traditional even.ДЄt any moment and with no delay, you can warp to any point on SteepвЂ™s mountain by opening a map and selecting a location. A collage of mountainous locales you may recognize from tour books, postcards, or commercials during CBS Sunday Morning, this snowy sprawl is peppered with tried-and-true video game challenges: earn the highest score win the race reach the bottom of the mountain in x number of minutes and x number of seconds. Plopped unceremoniously onto the top of a snowy peak, the new player is greeted by enough video game staples to create the illusion of normalcy. And thatвЂ™s why, often despite the game itself, I keep returning to its weird, exhausting mountain. In fact, Steep isnвЂ™t like much of anything in the blockbuster video game space. To those fans: sorry, Steep isnвЂ™t like SSX.

Today, the series is one of those peculiar brands not successful enough to merit new entries - not when blockbuster games are built on razorвЂ™s-edge budgets - but still popular enough to keep fans on the lookout for, if not a sequel, a temporary stand-in.

And yet, when friends see IвЂ™m playing Steep, the first question is always the same: is it like SSX?ДЇor those whoвЂ™ve come to video games in the last couple years, the SSX snowboarding franchise was a thing in the 2000s, a shrewd mix of colorful extreme sports culture of the new millennium with thumb-breaking precision stunts of Tony Hawk Pro Skater, served over ice. ItвЂ™s quirky and messy, beautiful to look at, occasionally irritating to hold. A few minutes with Steep, UbisoftвЂ™s perplexing open-world snowboarding game, could inspire any number of questions.
