Incredible game that far exceeds ACNH in so many ways. Can not wrap my head around it being made by a one person team. Unreal!

The first snowboarding game I ever played was Amped back in 2001 on the original Xbox and I've been chasing that high ever since. Shredders is the best snowboarding game ever and I've only played an hour and begun to learn the mechanics. The fluidity, atmosphere, and most importantly the physics all work so much better than any other snowboarding title I've ever played and it isn't even a competition.

I recently was looking to run Amped on my PC somehow because of how desperately lacking other titles have been over the years. Titles such as: Shaun White Snowboarding, a variety of SSX titles, SNOW, Steep, Riders Republic, and others I've forgotten. All of which I have poured many hours into just to try and get my snowboarding game fix but Shredders is the one. Even stomping something simple like a 360 FS Melon feels amazing. Not because the game is too difficult but because the physics and world-building feel grounded in reality.

FoamPunch absolutely slayed it and I'm looking forward to seeing the game progress.


Some things I would like to see added:
- Different times of day (dawn, dusk, night) edit: there is 1 night mission, but it would be cool to just be able to set the time of day in freeroam -- EDIT: You can set time of day via drone using LB+DPad, but it only works sometimes and dusk/dawn are underwhelming. No "golden hour".
- A lot more camera settings (FPV, angle of camera, FOV slider)
- Ability to hop off board to run up hill etc -- EDIT: The drone works just fine for this
- More sound settings to individually adjust dialogue and sound effects
- Weather/Precipitation would be cool
- Competitions and Events. The campaign and missions are pretty weird in their current state. Too many are spent following CPUs
- Headlamp for night riding and a darker night (optional?)

Improvements to be made:
- Scoring system is kinda whack. It's pretty much spin to win. FS 360 is 1600 points and a Double backflip is 2000 points. Point degradation for repeating tricks in succession would be cool too
- Collisions with some buildings isn't great, the bridge by the power station/dam is entirely 'fake'
- The map feels a touch barren. I enjoy the realism, but even still it feels like it could use a little more to liven it up and make areas feel different.
- More colour in places would be nice for a little bit of atmosphere. The entire screen is almost entirely white.
- Riding across paved/roads ice should have way less traction

Favourite game of all time.
Unquestionably the best competitive FPS ever.

But watch those wrists, folks! Thousands of hours in this game can really buck 'em up - pay attention to the signs and be pro-active with preventative measures to prevent damage!

If you love CS and want to play it 10-30 years from now it's worth the effort!

Spiritfarer quickly became one of my favourite games of all time and I don't even like 2D platformers.
The art, writing, music, gameplay and delivery all come together to create one of the best experiences a video game can offer. Wrought with emotion yet incredibly relaxing.
Sail the sea at your own pace and be formless, shapeless, like water - my friend. Allow yourself to form to this game for an unforgettable experience.

smol serious sam dives deep into the mines of Moria. 10/10

Phenomenal game. The visuals, audio, atmosphere are all on point, and I can't really find a fault there. I found the storyline to be a little shakey at times but ultimately a refreshing change of pace. Wish there was more to this title though - free roam was a start but I just want more Firewatch somehow - though I realize in my head it's likely best as is.

I suspect the real fix will come with Campo Santo's next game. Really hoping they become akin to thatgamecompany in that each of their games takes a stride into uncharted territory in some way or another.

Just ain't right

Great game that I really don't want to play again. Dem feels.

Incredibly entertaining despite being extremely vanilla currently. Rough around the edges solid at the core.

EDIT: First published this review in 2013. The game quickly went to ♥♥♥♥. What was rough around the edges and solid at the core become one big ol' gelatinous blob of hot trash. This ought to be removed from the Steam store - It's practically shovelware at this point.
