Trials gameplay is trapped in by its own excellence. With physics-based mechanics that are a real joy to master, this obstacle course platforming/racing hybrid has mostly maintained the same gameplay loop for years. Balancing your bike through a tough landing, bunny hopping across seemingly impossible gaps, and carefully scaling absurdly steep uphills takes skill and practice. It’s a tired formula that really can’t evolve without sacrificing what makes it special. To compensate for the lack of gameplay novelty, the tracks in Trials Rising are more bombastic and insane than ever. But a poorly managed progression loop and overreliance on microtransactions really drag down the experience.

In addition to this career mode, there is much more to do in Trials Rising. For example, there is a traditional multiplayer mode that can provide a lot of fun. The addition of the tandem engine is also new. You have to manage this together with someone else. Sounds awkward and it is. Precisely because of this it can cause a lot of hilarity and that makes the tandem engine a nice addition for co-op gameplay. Furthermore, there are a huge number of items to unlock to customize your driver and motorcycle. You receive these items through loot boxes, which are handed out very regularly. The loot boxes can also be bought with real money, but since they are purely cosmetic items, they are not an issue.

The track editor also returns to Trials Rising, which allows players to create their own tracks. There are many possibilities and if the community stays active with this for a long time, the playing pleasure is considerably extended by the track editor. Although the number of tracks created is still somewhat limited, the potential was immediately visible. However, a small comment must be made, because the track editor is quite complex to use. The editor immediately throws you in at the deep end without giving a clear explanation. The track editor will not be reserved for everyone in terms of use, but fortunately the entire community can enjoy the beautiful creations of more experienced track builders.

What this means in practice is a series of roller coaster-like tracks filled with traps and obstacles. You and your bike have no special abilities, just gravity and a working understanding of the laws of physics, so making your way over the seemingly impossible jumps, or avoiding being crushed by the various obstructions, is a question of carefully judging your speed and your posture. Moving backwards and forwards on the bike changes your centre of gravity and the angle of your bike in the air, which is usually the difference between success and failure.

As you might guess that leads to a certain amount of level grinding as you try to improve on your previous scores to unlock new tracks. That’s fine in practice, for the first half of the game, but eventually the requirements to unlock new courses become more and more extreme, forcing you to constant replay old tracks using a contracts system that adds qualifiers, such as restricting you to a minimum number of restarts, while also disincentivising you from simply improving your times.
