Xbox Snowboarding Game: Choose The Best

If we talk about Snowboarding games on Xbox, we can’t help but mention Shredders.

Platforms: This Snowboarding game is supported via Game Pass on Xbox, as well as on Xbox Series X|S.

Feature: Shredders have an incredible reshred feature (hold X on the Xbox controller) that allows you to repeat a trick with the same speed and momentum after a miss or a bad jump.

Graphics: This is a beautiful, pleasant, and very realistic picture. Driving on snow leaves distinct traces of the snowboard. The animation is smooth, and the visual effects are very good.

Gameplay. Intuitive controls. The game map is a large open world. There are a lot of obstacles around several different locations on the maps, but there is also a lot of open space where there is only snow and slopes. If you do not snowboard in real life, you will have a hard time getting the hang of this game at first.

Missions. The tasks are quite varied. For example, you can follow a pro and try to repeat tricks or beat their records, race a van, jump on railings, and so on. The tasks are constantly changing, and the tracks are not laid out along the same routes. In some missions, there is an opportunity to hook a hook for acceleration or call a snowmobile. You can take on bonus challenges. For example, perform a specified trick or crash into all the letters of the word SHRED on the way to the finish line.

Modes. Like most Xbox games Shredders has a multiplayer. It’s fun but feels unfinished and raw. The story mode is short. It teaches you how to control and play the game. The drone mode is interesting because you can fly around the map and watch everything from above.

Completion time: The storyline takes about 8 hours, but Shredders focuses on mastering tricks after completing the career mode.

The main advantages of the game:

• The visuals are beautiful.
• The controls are easy to learn, but it takes time and patience.
• The animation is very close to reality in terms of smoothness.
• A large collection of licensed cosmetic items.
• The ability to quickly select missions in the menu and get to them just as quickly.
• Humor in the story mode.

The main drawbacks of the game:

• Some bugs do not break the game but are annoying.
• The plot is short and may seem boring.
• A few tricks with capture are missing.
• There is no night mode.
• Few NPCs.

Game release date: March 17, 2022.

Game price: On Xbox, Shredders costs $30.

Another great snowboarding game on Xbox.

Platforms. This Snowboard game can be played on Xbox One, PS4 and Windows.

Feature. Steep is an arcade snowboarding simulator. After falling from a great height, the character will get up and ride on. The physics of the movements are well-written, but you shouldn’t expect realism in terms of damage from Steep. There is no plot in the game, as well as no developed characters or leveling up. The trick of Steep is extreme fun.

Graphics. The scale of the Alps mountain range is very impressive. The snow is beautifully detailed, and the sun’s rays sparkle on it, creating a photorealistic effect. On the Alaska map, you can admire the aurora borealis. The characters are well drawn. The animation in this game is so smooth that you feel like your character is real.

Gameplay. It’s easy to understand the gameplay: it will take about 10-15 minutes. There are skis, snowboarding, paragliding, gliding on wings, and walking. In Steep, you can control the time of day (change night to day and vice versa), as well as the weather (cloudy, cloudless, etc.). Large open-world maps: you can ride wherever you want, and there are no restrictions on exploring the world. To learn tricks easier, you will need an Xbox controller.

Steep has a game currency of the same name, which can be used to buy ridiculous unicorn costumes, an imp wingsuit, as well as helicopter tickets (which can drop you off anywhere on the mountain).

Missions and modes. There are Freestyle events (skis or snowboards) where you have to score a certain amount of points. In Extreme Rider you score points by dodging objects. Bonebreaker is a fun mode where you have to hit rocks from a great height to win. For wingsuit and paragliding you get racing events. “Mountain Tales” are story missions where you are told stories while you destroy snowmen or follow other racers.

Multiplayer is pretty poor right now. You can join other players and race against them or follow them, but there are fewer and fewer players in Steep these days.

Time of passage. Unlimited, since there is no plot.

The main advantages of the game:

• A huge open world.
• Very beautiful and realistic graphics.
• Many tests and tracks.
• Freedom of action.
• Cool musical accompaniment.

The main disadvantages of the game:

• The game is online only.
• No normal competitive mode.
• The tasks are monotonous.

Game release date: December 2, 2016.

Game price. For Xbox, Steep costs $30.
