Lonely Mountains: Downhill Reviews

A lot of fun. Feels great to control, the levels are well-designed with lots of alternate routes to explore, and the crashing ragdoll physics had me laughing out loud a lot. It's a simple game without much depth, and that seems to be by design. Don't expect to pour hundreds of hours into it. The only goal is to get better times. I'm not really into time trials, but it's a lot of fun to casually ride around the pretty levels and look for cool new routes.

This game requires patience or it will be very frustrating. Once you get the hang of it its extremely fun.

Really great bike game, highly recommend great controls, variations and content. Audio and graphics are spot on for this genre. This and the developer's skiing game are highly recommends from me.

It's pretty good. Kind of infuriating at times, but it's a fun one to play while listening to podcasts or your own music or just getting inside your own head.

I had it on PS4 and rebought it to play again on the PC because it is that good. It is very fun, easily replayable, and satisfying challenges to complete. The simplistic graphic style used for the game is beautiful. When you crash into a rock or tree in game it is very quick reload to the last checkpoint. It’s always fun for a quick game session.

incredibly satisfying gameplay. it's somehow relaxing and tense at the same time. best enjoyed with a gamepad.

The Gameplay is sharp, with different route with the different bikes, the visual are really lovely, and the challenge is well paced. The no music ambient is also really chill. Love it.

One of the best games I've ever played. The gameplay mechanics are sublime. Lots of tracks and achievements to lock/ Highly recommended.

This is my all time favorite racing game. All time favorite puzzle game. And all time favorite adventure game. This game is simply fun, challenging, and replicates the beauty of nature in ways you won't find anywhere else. I nearly completed this game on Switch. Impressive as it is on Switch, revisiting it on my laptop and Steam Deck has been amazing. The extra FPS and level of detail really add to the experience and playability. I don't know a game that's done level progression better than Megagon Industries crafted here. Each trail starts off with 'here's some checkpoints, just reach the end, you win.' Followed by two tiers of increasingly difficult 'here's some checkpoints, reach the end with some time and crash challenge goals, you win.' Lastly, there's the hardcore 'no checkpoints, reach the end without crashing a single time' challenge. That last challenge is heart attack inducing but the satisfaction of completion is unmatched. The way each of the four challenge sets for each trial bleed into each other paces you for success. Some of the challenge goals gets you skins for your rider or bike. Other challenges you'll win a 'bike part' that you save up to buy new bikes. I suggest grinding out the game with the starter bike, get 8 bike parts and buy the 'Geronimo' bike, which is sort of slow but allows you to fling yourself off cliffs and down vertical hills like a maniac. Geronimo allows you to create extremely satisfying short cuts. There's zero music while you're on the trails, and it works. Just serene ambient nature noises that perfectly match the wondrous landscapes of each mountain. Every mountain and every trail has it's own unique personality that invites you to explore the multiple paths you can take to reach the goal. If you like to hike or bike on trails IRL, you'll feel at home in this game. Learning each trail, each unique short cut, feels the same as learning a real trail. The balance of chill and challenge in this game makes it accessible for everyone. If you're looking for new racing game, or an adventure puzzle experience, buy Lonely Mountains Downhill.

Started as a peaceful ride through nature, ended up as a high-speed physics experiment. Hit a tree, bounced off a rock, did an accidental 360 into a river. 10/10 mountain said no. 🚴‍♂️🌲💥 Follow my curator page for more nature-induced wipeouts, downhill disasters, and games where gravity always wins! 💸🎮✨ [b]https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42602807-Osiris-Reviews/[/b]
