"Utterly fantastic level design and with a continuous flow of incoming events, you'll not get bored any time soon. Ubisoft puts the Trials franchise back on the map with a great game which has a lot going for it. A nice addition is the option to build your own tracks, although it will prove daunting at first. The game can feel a bit grindy as well from time to time but we really can't think of any other issues with this game. A fun game that comes highly recommended." ... Read full review

"Trials Rising takes us back to basics with the real world inspiring a long series of new and inventive trials, but losing none of the challenge or RedLynx's dark sense of humour. The menus are a bit messy, the loot boxes pointless, and it doesn't really advance the series, but when you get into it this is the series back to its addictive, infuriating, "one more go!" best.

If you haven't played a Trials game before, it is incredibly rewarding, fun and difficult with a harsh skill curve and lots to master. itIf you haven't played a Trials game before, it is incredibly rewarding, fun and difficult with a harsh skill curve and lots to master. it involves heavy use of analog controls for precise and challenging platforming and runs at a smooth 60fps which is good because for the 1st year of its release it had constant random frame drops to 40fps for no apparent reason. There are many checkpoints, basically one after each obstacle and many Ubisoft made tracks to play and master as well as hundreds of thousands of fan made tracks to play as well with a good rating system to find quality tracks.

If you are new to Trials games, you will probably have to do about 30 minutes of contract grinding to get enough xp at some stage depending on how good you are with maybe 1 hour or so of grinding if you have played a Trials game before. This is okay though (not a big negative) as the game by nature is very grindy, in order to get the best times so I barely noticed the grind because I was grinding tracks to get gold medals anyways. By grinding, I mean good fun grinding to improve your skill rather than other games that make you do the same thing over and over again with no rewards for doing it better.

The game has tracks based all around the world which means that each track has its own unique identity and feel. The track selection is better than ever.

This is due to both the track editor having way more features than previous games as well as the Ubisoft made tracks being much better. Each Ubisoft track has its own look and feel to it with some being colourful and fast paced with many moving parts such as the Eifel tower track and others such as the Stonehenge track being slower. The DLC in the gold edition has some fantastic tracks as well and there is also a giant selection of tracks to choose from. There are 10 leagues in the base game (and 4 per dlc) as well as the skillgames and Trials University so there is a lot to master with over 200 tracks on top of extra dlc in track packs and some free dlc in the gigatrack.

The extreme and especially the hard tracks are the best I've played in any platformer, let alone Trials game. The visuals look good as well, especially for a locked 60fps game but are not outstanding. The base game has loads to do and the dlc is great too. There are also infinite ways to use stickers to customise your character or buy using in game currency other people's designs from the in game store to make yourself look fabulous.

The only real cons are that the menus are laggy and difficult to navigate and the online is dead due to the playerbase mainly focusing on offline grinding for medals. Some people will talk about lootboxes, but these are optional, entirely cosmetic, mean nothing and are completely avoidable.

In conclusion: The gameplay is Outsanding with lots of tracks to play and probably 100 hours of gameplay for a new player who is good at games to get gold on all the Trials tracks (but don't worry there are ninja tracks too). The graphics and performance is now very good and in my last 20 hours of gameplay have been locked at 60 during gameplay. The only negative I have is the laggy menus.… Expand

A lot of new tracks, amazing customization opportunities - all of this you can find in Rising. If you are not really good in racing, you can try yourself as game designer by creating amazing track in Track Editor and show your creation to the world. Though, progression system in Rising not as perfect as it could be and, time to time, you need to re-pass some tracks to get enough fame for a new level.… Expand

As it stands right now I have to give this game a 6/10. There are constant slowdowns and stutters which throw off your timing and hopefullyAs it stands right now I have to give this game a 6/10. There are constant slowdowns and stutters which throw off your timing and hopefully the game will be fixed to be more stable in a future patch. I know music is subjective, but the soundtrack is horrible. There isn't any option turn off individual tracks, which is a stupidly simple option to include that would help immensely. The load times can be ridiculously long and after every race, even in single player, you have to wait around for a screen to load in 4 avatars and one of them does an annoying taunt animation before you can move on. In a game all about replaying tracks over and over to improve this gets old so fast.

You race against random ghosts, no option to limit the ghosts to your friends list. There are so many stickers in the customization options yet no good way to sort through them. A simple option would be to let us toggle between owned and unowned stickers. That would be a good start but there needs to be a way of organizing all the customization options and right now there just isn't.

In order to beat some challenges there is a bug currently that has the time you have to beat to move on as the world record on the tracks. Needless to say but it's pretty much impossible to beat those levels for right now. Hopefully that gets fixed in a patch.

Overall, the tracks and gameplay are good (except for the stutter and slowdown) but everything around those needs serious work. It's disappointing because this game had several betas and plenty of time to iron all this out. There's no private multiplayer, it's grayed out and says "Coming Soon" so if that's what interests you about the game, then skip it for now. It's like the game was made by people who never tested the actual gameplay. I can't believe none of the testers mentioned the option to turn off the music tracks you don't like, or only racing against the ghosts of your friends. Or how badly the customization needs organizing features. By far the most disappointing thing about this game right now is the technical issues, though. You get frame tearing and stuttering at the most inopportune times. The various betas should've worked those issues out. This is all on the PS4 Pro,.… Expand

This game is good, but there is an initial grind to get the 3rd Bike which is a pain, it also makes you do worthless contracts that seemThis game is good, but there is an initial grind to get the 3rd Bike which is a pain, it also makes you do worthless contracts that seem tacked on near the completion of the game.it doesn't feel like a trials game. Previous trials games where all about completing a track, this seem more about racing others and their ghost. I love the tracks that require you to think but the racing need to be taken out of the single player. The Stadium Finals need to go they are ima a load of crap. The map layout is over the top and would have been easier to navigate if it was a list again and had a description of where the map is located and what difficulty it is. All in all, I regret buying this game. if you are a trials fan stay clear, go back to evolution even.… Expand

Worst trials game to date. They bought back the system everyone loves, "Lootboxes" because that worked out so well before. The tracks are nowWorst trials game to date. They bought back the system everyone loves, "Lootboxes" because that worked out so well before. The tracks are now laid out in a terrible over complicated way instead of Fusions more simple menu layout. Most of the game is locked behind micro-transactions including tracks and bikes. What you get with the game itself is just ridiculous. Bikes are even locked in multiplayer so you have to spend weeks grinding the same maps unless you buy more to unlock the good bike to play with your friends on difficult tracks that require a faster bike.
They are even charging for Fusion tracks?! So charging for tracks that you already paid for with the previous game?! This game is micro-transactions mayhem. Everything is just locked behind paywalls making the experience without paying more money extremely limiting. So glad I didn't buy this rubbish as I got it on PS plus. Ubisoft as of today has 0 games that aren't ruined by mtx.
The campaign in this game is terrible. You can't switch off ghost players which just annoys you. It's more a race against ghost leaderboards instead of just enjoying tracks. Trails is basically dead to me now. I wish you could play track central against friends on Fusion as then I would have an excuse to play any trials game but I can't be bothered to spend weeks grinding for a good bike on this one. Bikes should be unlocked on multiplayer. It makes no sense to have them locked?… Expand
