Trials Rising Gold Edition Switch NSP Free Download Unfitgirl Very few games as close to marrying sheer frustration and abject joy as Trials. From its earliest days as a browser game in 2000 to its breakout success on XBLA, RedLynx’s 2.5D racer has always been a tough cookie to crack thanks to its physics-driven stunts and high difficulty curve, and as such, it’s boxed itself into a niche-shaped corner. But with the release of Trials Rising, the series has an entry that’s both incredibly accessible for brand new players while offering an experience filled with enough creative challenge to keep long-serving pros very happy. This is also a debut for the franchise on a Nintendo console, bringing its mixture of platforming, stunts and high-speed racing to handhelds for the very first time. And it’s the full package, too. Screenshots and video that circulated prior to the release of the game suggested this Switch port was going to be another WWE 2K18 or Ark: Survival Evolved. Thankfully, this isn’t the case. You’re getting every mode and track available on every other platform (including the fabled Track Editor) running at a relatively stable 30fps – not quite the 60fps it runs at on PS4, Xbox One and PC, but still. Occasionally, that frame rate does dip a little, mostly in handheld mode, but it usually holds fast. That means you’re still able to reset your rider with a press of ‘B’ every time you mistime a landing or fling your rider over the handlebars, and there’s very little chug in terms of processing.

The real caveat comes in the graphics department, but even then it’s not as bad as you’re probably expecting. Yes, some levels have had their assets paired back in order to free up more space for performance, but there are so many levels where you can see every detail of a bustling city or sun-tinged lumberyard that the odd conveniently-placed sandstorm really isn’t that much of an issue. There’s a fair bit of blurring employed and look close enough and you’ll notice even your avatar suffers from some asset rasterization when stood on the main menus or when buzzing along mid-race. If you’re a visual fidelity purist this will surely irritate you, but if you’re actively choosing the Switch version over the PS4 or Xbox One edition then you should really know a multiplatform port is going to have to make concessions, and Trials Rising – much like the NBA 2K series – makes most of the right ones to get this beloved franchise running on Nintendo Switch. So what makes Trials Rising a proper instalment in its own right? Right from the off, it’s clear to see RedLynx hasn’t strayed too far from the formula that’s served it well for so long. You’ll still race along a 2.5D plane, trying to pull off the best times while controlling both your rider and the bike in a ballet of physics, skill and luck. If you’re hoping for some grand re-imagining of the series, this isn’t it, but there are just enough new ideas and approaches to make this one of the most well-rounded entries since Trials Evolution perfected itself in 2012.

Grinding for the Sponsors

There are hundreds of tracks to compete in, and each one comes with its own contract to compete. From beating a certain player to finishing within a set number of fails, each one offers an extra way to unlock new items for customising your rider and bikes and XP – for ranking up and, you guessed it, opening crates for more cosmetic goodies. The faster your time or the higher your score, and you’ll bag even more XP. Progression comes at just the right pace, with difficulty spiking periodically to ensure that newfound sense of confidence is duly tested with fresh challenges and tests of two-wheeled prowess. The new University of Trials mode will be a godsend for those new to the franchise, offering an in-depth breakdown of every possible facet of the game from perfecting leaning to gaining more height from front wheel bunny hops. Once you progress to new regions and unlock progressively more difficult tracks, this tutorial mode will really come in useful thanks to the sheer depth of skills and physics nuance that are covered. The Track Editor is also present and correct on Nintendo Switch, complete with assets and objects from Trials Evolution, Fusion, Rising and Trials of the Blood Dragon. There are a lot of options to get to grips with, but don’t expect much help as there’s no in-built tutorial mode. Considering the sheer effort RedLynx went to in order to create the University of Trials, it’s odd that it didn’t think to include a portion for the Track Editor.

You’ll have to go to its official YouTube page to find said tutorials which is, let’s be honest, a cop-out at best. It’s a shame because the rest of Trials Rising is so well calibrated for newcomers. I’ve long since stopped physically leaning into my turns while playing racing games, but something about the Trials series still has me twisting and jumping in my seat as if doing so will just give my rider that little bump they need to get over an obstacle. The nail-biting reaction time and delicate finesse required to get through the hardest courses Trials Rising has to offer makes them as thrilling to overcome as ever, driving me to return to them to crash and burn and improve my times endlessly. Counterproductively, though, it works against that urge with some tweaks and new additions which take the focus off of that loop of self-improvement and put it instead on repetitive challenges and discouraging PvP competition. Trials Rising is still fundamentally Trials, which is good because Trials is still fundamentally awesome. Something as simple as driving a bike across a 2D level with nothing but gas, brake, and leaning left and right to control yourself wouldn’t seem too complex, but there’s a pool of technical skills to master here as deep as an ocean – and Rising gives Fusion’s unwieldy (if occasionally amusing) MTX trick system the boot to keep moment-to-moment gameplay closer to the core of what makes Trials fun.

Speeding through a course for the very first time is a tense game of quickly reading the terrain in front of you and adjusting your speed and balance on the fly to smoothly roll through it as fast as possible. Doing so takes far more than just holding down the accelerator because there are lots of little tricks you need to learn in order to master Trials’ physics-based movement. Earning a gold medal on my first try was always a proud moment, but I was just happy to have made it to the finish line at all on some of the more technical courses. Going back and improving on those levels was a different game altogether, one that’s more about solving a momentum-based puzzle and then perfecting my route. Rising is a great looking game, even if it isn’t any sort of huge graphical improvement over Fusion. The 100-plus levels in Trials Rising are well designed in both layout and visuals, generally going with more grounded themes than Trials Fusion’s abstract areas, now based loosely on real-world locations like skateparks and the Great Wall of China. The soundtrack has also switched to almost entirely grungy licensed music including Motorhead and Stone Temple Pilots – it sounds like it was taken straight off of my middle school iPod, which initially gave a nice Tony Hawk-vibe but quickly wore thin when I realized how small (and thus repetitive) the library was. It didn’t take long for me to mute it entirely and resort to Spotify for my own soundtrack. The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind

Rising is a great looking game, even if it isn’t any sort of huge graphical improvement over Fusion. Its levels feel visually deeper and lusher, and a little bit less like sets and more like real places where these tracks could have been set up in. The backgrounds have more detail and seem to stretch further into the distance, and cool moving elements like trains and cars can zoom in and out of your path to make the tracks feel less isolated from the environment around them, though less so once you get into the super technical late game stages. Most levels still manage to remain fairly easy to read at a glance, too, as Ubisoft has developed a great visual language for when objects will move or shift, usually marking them with orange and white lines that enable you to react faster even on a first playthrough. That makes unexpected and unfair crashes as the floor falls out from under you an uncommon occurrence – assuming you’re paying attention. I particularly loved levels that really broke out of the straightforward track formula, letting you drive through a crashing airplane or along a moving train. A Hollywood level early on shows just how crazy the environments can get, including with a CGI alien movie blipping in and out of existence as you briefly ride through a blue-screen studio. Some of these locations do get revisited and remixed as harder versions in later levels though, which was a little disappointing, but they are generally different enough that they don’t feel like cheap rehashes.

Unfortunately, unlocking all of Trials Rising’s levels really starts to drag because of an ill-conceived change to the way the series has traditionally worked. The courses are split into nine main leagues, most of which have eight tracks with a few that have less toward the end, and you unlock new leagues by beating the previous one’s Stadium Finals: a fun series of three shorter, multi-lane races which only unlock once you’ve earned enough XP to reach a certain player level. Tying new stage unlocks to your level instead of the medals you’ve earned like in previous Trials games is Trials Rising’s largest misstep – far larger than I initially thought it would be. For the first half of the campaign I was generally a high enough level to unlock a new Stadium Final well before I finished that league’s courses, but the second half slows down to an unreasonable degree. It took me over 13 hours to unlock the bulk of Rising’s courses– not including some secrets I won’t spoil – but a large part of that time was spent grinding its new “sponsor” Contract challenges for experience. Rising’s Contracts replace Fusion’s Challenges, rewarding you with experience and cosmetics for beating a stage while completing a particular set of requirements. Those can range from something as simple as getting a bronze medal or doing six backflips to a combination of multiple objectives at once, like beating a specific level in a certain amount of time while doing 50 meters of wheelies and 10 front flips… while on fire. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Contracts offer so much more experience that improving medals is essentially a waste of time when it comes to progressing. Some of those Contracts are fun, especially the simpler flipping ones that made me look at a course differently as I tried to figure out all the best places I could weave in a flip without losing too much speed. At their best, Contracts are an amusing way to shake up the Trials formula. But as they get harder they can start to get downright infuriating. And apart from finding some hidden collectibles in levels, there aren’t any Contacts like the cool challenges in Fusion that would ask you to hit secret buttons or finding hidden areas – at least not that I’ve found. While I would gladly put these contracts off until later, the kicker here is that Contracts are the fastest way to get experience by an enormous margin, making them essential to leveling and unlocking new Leagues in a reasonable amount of time. Later on you need 10,000 experience for one level-up, and it wasn’t uncommon for me to unlock a new League and need nine more level-ups to get the next one. That’s 90k experience I needed to earn, with the hardest Contracts only offering roughly 3-5k each. Many of the earlier Contracts will offer around 1k or less, and simply improving your time on a Hard track from a silver medal to a gold one without a Contract offers up a meager 450. That means that the part of Trials I’ve always loved – beating my times, gradually getting faster, and earning better medals – is essentially a waste of time when it comes to unlocking everything.

The balance for experience gains here is totally out of whack. Trials Rising’s late game should be a celebration of its well-crafted and satisfyingly challenging final levels, but instead it’s a daunting grind as I did wheelies and flips until I just couldn’t take it anymore. I still haven’t even managed to unlock its ultimate final track, The Grand Finale, because the idea of grinding the level-ups needed to get there hardly seemed worth the reward of a single new track. The core problem here is that you aren’t really given a choice between doing Contracts or improving your times. In Trials Fusion, you could either go for better medals to unlock more tracks or do challenges to gain experience for other rewards. Having both leveling and unlocking leagues tied to optional Contracts makes time improvement completely secondary to progression. Not only does that seem backwards, it makes failing on Contracts I essentially have to complete whether I want to or not frustrating in a way crashing never was before. That frustration is compounded by Trials Rising’s more enthusiastic focus on competition, always pitting you against ghosts of random players to race against. That isn’t too dissimilar to past games in theory, especially when they are ghosts of friends, but since every single-player run is now framed as a “race” it can substantially sour victories. It sucks to be proud of finally completing a hard Contract or course, only to be greeted by the random player avatar that got “first place” slapping its butt at me to a taunting kazoo song.
