Trials Rising Gold Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

Trials Rising has some of the best and most creative track design in the series' history but is dragged down by a horrendous progression system and performance issues. If you can get past the weird frame rate stuttering problems and the idiotic xp grind required to unlock levels, then there's a lot of fun to be had here. Rising is also a good starting off point for people new to the series. Not only is there an extensive set of tutorial levels, Rising has the most tracks of any Trials games and many of them are Easy and Medium difficulty. However, this is a negative for Trials veterans, as it takes quite a bit of xp grinding to unlock the really challenging tracks.

Trials Rising takes us back to basics with the real world inspiring a long series of new and inventive trials, but losing none of the challenge or RedLynx's dark sense of humour. The menus are a bit messy, the loot boxes pointless, and it doesn't really advance the series, but when you get into it this is the series back to its addictive, infuriating, "one more go!" best.

Just like the last Trials game, this is a blast. More challenging but more rewarding. Be prepared to put a lot of time in it because the time flies when you're playing!

Great motorcycle racing game with lots of tracks and awesome tricks.

There are plenty of bugs in this game when it comes to replays, character customization, etc. but thankfully the gameplay is a good as ever. Just as addicting as it’s always been!
