Oh boy, Trials Rising, where do I start with this one? Ok let's start with the positives, the tracks are actually really amazing and well designed, I like the Around the World setting, the skill games are quite decent, the customization is a massive step up from Fusion's, the University of Trials is a neat addition for newcomers and the music is pretty goodl! Those are the only parts that I like about the game!

Now let's get to the negatives. The performance in this game is not good, there's a bunch of stutters, the menus/UI is slow and laggy. The world map UI is a mess, the loading times are slow and long, I don't like the lootboxes to unlock gear and the game is grindy due to it's progression system. This affected my experience with the game and even past Trials games didn't have these issues, it lacks polish.

In conclusion, it has good content but bad optimization, grinds, in-game currency, loot boxes and issues. Which is why I'm giving this game a not recommended rating. It doesn't feel as fast and it's not a polished game. It's still as broken as I remembered which is disappointing...

very fun but hard mechanics to learn
