soooo good felling hitting those clean jumps and landings and it is NOT hard learning on this game but you almost NEED a controller for this to be fun because you cant do cool tricks on keyboard

Feb. 2025

its very fun not super realistic (i do this type of stuff irl) but fun to play has a good mod selection for when you get bored it can teach you when to pump on ramps if you do this type of stuff irl so i highly recommend for mtbers and your average joe its just a fun game

Having a mild interest in mountain biking, I was looking to see if there were any games about it. I stumbled upon the Descenders – the game was on sale. After reading some reviews, I didn’t have high expectations and was simply hoping for at least a few hours of fun. It didn’t seem to be my type of game, as I prefer story-rich RPGs, such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Mass Effect. And here I am writing this review after 136 hours and 100% achievements (my first Perfect game, never cared about the achievements so much). :D This game is addictive, easy to learn but hard to master, and offers a highly rewarding sense of progression. The levels are procedurally generated; therefore, even if you become familiar with different regions, you can never predict where the next turn will lead. It keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting. The gameplay is a perfect mix of fun and realism. Yes, eventually, you will be jumping through fire rings, riding mega ramps, riding at incredible speeds, leaping from helicopters, and performing tricks that are impossible in real life. However, the riding still feels realistic, responsive, and satisfying, with mechanics such as pumping and counter-pumping that you will gradually learn. Additionally, it offers a relaxing experience — when you are short on time or do not feel like engaging in a serious game, you can simply opt for a quick career session or a freeride. The graphics are surprisingly nice for such a game and each of the levels has unique feel. Recommended!

I played this game on xbox for years before I tried it on steam. I've been hooked on the mod maps ever since. The Controls are fun and easy to learn, but hard to master. Learning to counter pump was a trip, and carving is so much fun. Tried pipe, tried streets, considered riders.. ended up right back here every time. 10/10 Recommended...

If you're looking for a game where you can switch your brain off and just enjoy by yourself with a beer and relax, this game is for you. This game has challenges, normal runs, or daily runs for leaderboards. It's not too serious but it's also not ultra arcade. The physics allow quite a bit of freedom with the stunts. Definitely recommend trying out.
