Mark Mcmorris is going for a realistic snowboarding experience who's strong point is doing singular runs with a major focus on the tricks. Steep Isn't trying at all to be that. Steep didn't even have the name of the tricks display when you did them for both beta's. They added them in right before release and Steep doesn't even have a grinding mechanic lol. Steep is about the mountains and plopping you down to explore and throws a wide variety of challenges for some structure. If your mentality going in to steep is to bang out challenges then ya its not going to be good. Saying that if snowboarding is your main interest that Steep is wrong for you is pretty misleading. Steep is about winter sports and a wide open mountain range playground and the snowboarding is really fun. Mark Mcmorris is just about snowboarding. They are both good in their own ways but comparing the two is like saying The Golf Club is a better game than Grand Theft Auto 5 because there's golf in both.

Fair enough, and honestly I'm still considering giving Steep a go, because I just really love the exploration part, and extreme sports games just rub me the right way in general. I've been watching tons of videos and I'm coming around to the idea that you can do more than race down the mountain at 100 mph, including some pretty cool grinds, believe it or not.

Honestly, I think I'm still just a bit miffed about Infinite Air getting a 3.5, from the same reviewer if I recall. It felt irresponsible then, and after seeing this review and having played both games, it irks me even more. It's one thing to prefer one or the other, but no way you can tell me that this game is 4 points better than that one, especially when his reasoning for the bad review essentially came down to "the controls are hard to learn".
