It's alright. At its core it's clearly meant to be a sort of zen game where you just relax and take in the sights/sounds while riding the bike, and I appreciate that about it. It's definitely my favorite part of the game. That said, my biggest issues come when attempting to complete the various challenges, which are required to unlock mountains, trails, bikes, etc. Once there were actual stakes such as completing trails within a certain amount of time or with a limited number of crashes allowed, there were so many small annoyances that really added up and bothered me while playing, primarily how janky the bike controls sometimes and how easy it is to crash.
Pretty good. Not as infuriating/difficult as Getting Over It but I can definitely feel the inspiration from it that led to this. The difficulty is honestly just right in my opinion where it feels less like a rage game and more like a puzzle/platformer game, so I find it quite enjoyable. There is a huge difficulty spike at the second-to-last checkpoint that had me stuck for over two hours, but once past it the difficulty returns to normal. Overall a good time and fun challenge.
Not bad, not great. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the Remedy games I’ve played up to this point but this one is easily the weakest. It’s kinda difficult to follow the story as it barely makes sense, and making half of it a loosely related series of live-action “TV episodes” was a questionable choice that did not really aid my confusion. The gameplay at the very least is pretty enjoyable. It is mostly a standard third-person shooter but I did think the time powers were a pretty fun way to make it a bit more interesting.
