Review for Trials Rising. Game for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia, the video game was released on 26/02/2019
That Trials Rising does not represent a seminal masterpiece of the two-wheeled videogame industry is evident right away, as soon as the binary code of the game is started. With his frivolous and light-hearted attitude, worthy of every new episode of the Trials series, you find yourself in a few seconds fooling around with the pad, verifying the infinite customization possibilities related both to the track editor and to the customization of your rider.
But then, as always, the moment arrives to put the rubber on the playful ground and it is immediately an epiphany, and we are not referring to that of the Befana. Rather than offering a dull series of tests one after another, the RedLynx title produced by Ubisoft places homo ludens within a game map reproducing our beloved globe, urging him to take part in a whole series of distinguished competitions. by an ever increasing difficulty rate. Death loops, descents to go at breakneck speed, and so on and so forth, Trials Rising allows the average person to realize their forbidden dream of breaking all the bones of the body at once, at least virtually.
Proportionally to the increase of the proposed pitfalls, the rewards also grow, delivered both in the form of new motorcycles to be tamed, as well as in the form of tasty, negligible cosmetic upgrades that can be shown both by the virtual racer and by the two wheels that you have under your stinking anus . Furthermore, the records exhibited by the other motorcyclists are shown in real time on the game map, enveloping the user and motivating him to always do his best.
It is a comings and goings of rehearsals in the most classic style of the saga, a situational melting pot able to propose stylish settings full of personality, within which the gamer can safely play around, making friends with most of the physical laws of classic mechanics.
In addition, then, the game offers a whole series of tutorials - unfortunately attended by a professor who is not Isaac Newton, but a beefy, very hairy homunculus - as well as badass tournaments in which the only goal is to put the wheels in front of everyone. the other opponents.
Also nice are the variations on the theme inserted, simple mini games that for your sake we prefer not to spoil, able to contribute to increase the value of a non-revolutionary binary work but certainly able to give hours of healthy, muddy fun. And if the user no longer likes playing video games alone, he can obviously opt for one nice party online with other driver counterparts, ready to make him the leather. And if you really want something new, the very complete level editor will allow the gamer to create even the most daring tracks. If you don't have the imagination to create playful new creations, Track Central grants you the ability to download a ton and a half of community-created content.
Limited to the PlayStation 4 version, the console through which this review was made, we report however some small technical flaws that, although far from penalizing a truly flourishing overall qualitative picture, leaves with a bit of a bitterness in the mouth. First of all, it is worth noting the slowness in loading every single level from the HDD; secondly, micro-stuttering phenomena and sporadic texture update problems represent small smears that, with a little more optimization, could certainly be corrected.
Trials Rising does not disappoint, offering a more of the same with some tasty additions. Although not exactly revolutionary, therefore, the last born in the Red Lynx house manages to convince, confirming the innate qualities held by the Ubisoft series. In short, you can have fun without innovating, but the final result is so flattering that you can easily overlook the lack of radical novelties. And if you please!
