About Steep
Steep dropped on December 1, 2016 as an action sports title from Ubisoft Annecy. You step onto skis, a snowboard, or into a wingsuit to conquer the Alps and Alaska. The game launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch with support for single player, multiplayer, and co-op modes. It feels less like a traditional race and more like a physics sandbox where you just want to see how far you can fly before hitting the ground. The world is massive, offering endless verticality instead of a linear path. You spend your time carving down fresh powder or gliding through mountain passes without any real stop points.
Gameplay
Your loop involves launching off cliffs and managing momentum while controlling altitude. You switch between four gear types instantly to navigate different terrain sections. Skis offer speed on slopes, while wingsuits let you glide over large gaps. The controls demand constant micro-adjustments to keep your balance during aerial stunts or sharp turns. A typical session sees you chaining together jumps, recording the replay, and then trying to beat that score in a new run. You can invite friends into your world for co-op runs where everyone attempts their own lines simultaneously. There are no checkpoints between objectives, so a single mistake sends you back to the top of the mountain.
What Players Think
The PlayPile data shows IGDB users rate this at 74.9 out of 100 based on 145 ratings. Average playtime sits around 28 hours for main story completion, with many players pushing past 60 hours to unlock all achievements. Community moods lean heavily toward "chill" and "adventurous," though some users express frustration with the difficulty spike in later challenges. Review snippets highlight the freedom of movement as a major plus, while others note repetitive mission structures. Completion rates for side objectives remain low at roughly 42 percent, suggesting players prefer free exploration over structured goals. The multiplayer scene sees active co-op groups but struggles with finding matches for casual drops.
PlayPile's Take
Steep is worth the buy if you want a physics playground rather than a strict campaign. The $19.99 price point makes it an easy add-on for those who already own Ubisoft titles or have a Switch. You will unlock 35 achievements, mostly tied to distance and trick combos. This title suits players who enjoy messing around in open spaces over competitive racing. It does not force you into a rigid structure, but the lack of direction might bore those seeking clear objectives. The controls feel responsive once you adjust, though the learning curve is steep for wingsuit flying. Grab it for the freedom to explore the mountains your way.
