Steep is not a perfect game. Two of the sports types are a total wash and even the good ones have flaws with the trick system. Even so, the playground that Ubisoft has introduced is gorgeous, with unique landmarks to race past and tons of screenshot worthy moments. There is a good game hiding among the issues, but it’s one that most players might not discover. It doesn’t top the best snowboarding game...
