  • Downhill bike riding gameplay.
  • Tutorial at the start and you can go in and run play it. 
  • Online leaderboards with many filters. 
  • Controls-use with left/right on the stick or have it set to the direction you are facing. You can change this at anytime so definitely try them both. 
  • 16 trails to unlock and each are split up with checkpoints that show your time in red or green to say how well you are performing against either global or your own times. 
  • Overall unlock percentage of the categories which are trials unlocked, challenges completed, resting places found, bikes unlocked, paint jobs unlocked, and outfits unlocked. 
  • Restart will put you back to the last checkpoint and if you crash out that happens. 
  • Daily challenges that are tied to the leaderboards and give unique rewards. 
  • Over 150 challenges to unlock and play. 
  • 6 bikes to unlock by collecting the parts and each bike has unique stats for the frame, suspension, and wheels parts. 
  • 53 paint jobs to choose from and unlock. 
  • The whoosh of wind sets my blood pressure off because that means I’m doing some serious speed and now I’m delicate and prone to death. 
  • 21 outfits to unlock to customise your character. 
  • Resting places-areas you find and rest up presenting a lush picteresque viewpoint.
  • Each mountain has 4 difficulties-explorer/beginner/expert/free ride.
  • Solid controls and they are very tight and responsive no matter your input style choice. 
  • Excellent sound effects including the crunch of your bones. 
  • Peaceful atmosphere which is crazy die to the white knuckle riding experience. 
  • Tons of replayability and score chasing. 
  • Very fast loading times and respawning. 
  • Choose which challenges to go for.
  • Honestly the game is like a horror experience! You are literally on the edge of a mountain and going fast knowing just a pebble in the wrong place is enough to ruin a run. 
  • I love the game and how it plays as it lends itself well to marathon sessions but also to casual pick up and play.

Lonely Mountains Downhill Review Cons:

  • You cannot control the camera which can sometimes be frustrating. 
  • Difficult. That’s it the game is difficult. 
  • Hard to see what’s coming in some parts and this is more evident on corners. 
  • Easy to bail/crash and the faster you go the more delicate you become. 
  • Checkpoints are far apart.
  • Controls take some getting used too and you will do a lot of back and forth switching between them. 
  • I don’t like how long it takes to get a sense of customisation and make your character your own.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
