50 of 50 · most liked firstUrban Trial Playground I certainly didn't see this one coming. I've played Urban Trial Freestyle in September of 2013 right after game was released. "One of the best purchases ever" would be too loud for that one, but i never regret about and completed it with all achievements. Technically, this game could be considered as a more tricks oriented reskin of Urban Trial Freestyle with some new additions, but not in a bad way. It's also an upgrade in almost every aspect (well, of course, as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I expected a decent alternative to Trial series - received half-baked, buggy wanna-be of Trials with absolutely no physics whatsoever. The motorbike feels absolutely stiff! I'd only recommend you to pick this game up if heavy discounted. 3/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sometimes I write Recommended reviews that sound negative, but this is a Not Recommended review that will sound positive. Urban Trial Playground has things going against it, but it is a game that makes me laugh, whenever I am not in the "mood" (cough) for a strategic game. The rag-doll physics of seeing a skater-dude with pajama pants smashing his face onto pavement is just endlessly funny, at "those times"... I am sure there are better "car climber games" on flash websites, but this uses a 3D…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had tons of fun with Urban Trail Freestyle and thought this might be similar. And in theory it is fun. But it has one single flaw which ruins absolutely all the fun you might deliver - "RESTART TRACK" RELOADS THE TRACK WITH LOAD TIME OF ABOUT 10 - 20 SECONDS. This one thing makes the whole thing unbearable. Urban Trail Freestyle is still so much more fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great bike stunt game that remind me of those classic games i used to play on internet in my childhood ..this game is better than anything i've played because it looks more realistic ..game is also very easy and very fun ..a great game that you never get tired if you love stunt bike games :D ..have fun and enjoy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Trial Playground Review in one sentence: "It's Ubisoft's Trial but a lot cheaper, and you buy this game not because you are broke but because you are smart".
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game and nice price!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Questionable physics, unresponsive controls, a lack of developer care about cheaters atop the leaderboards (we're talking 1 second time trial completion times and outrageous scores), unlikable characters, ugly bikes, a stupid and unwarranted "time bubble" thing on the "time trials" tracks, which really aren't time trials, they're more "take the slower, less fun way through to hit the proper bubbles". With just a few tweaks, this game COULD have been a fairly decent (at best) Trials knockoff.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the core gameplay is a step back from Urban Trial Freestyle, but I appreciate the new score and challenge systems. Where the first game felt like Trials with a somewhat half-baked score system, Playground is more like OlliOlli - with much more elaborate combos and challenges. It's entertaining, but I'm not sure what's going on with the physics. Because you're intended to lean back before catching air, it suddenly becomes impossible to wheelie hard enough to flip your bike backwards…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, both the Urban Trials and Urban Trial Playground are super fun, Playground is a bit harder, bigger and more features. What i love about them both is they are designed for PC in contrast to Ubisoft's ported and expensive counterparts, and of course there is native steam achievements.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good old Excite Bike fun. Take a simple bike and race through many different levels to complete challenges, collect chips, and obtain cash to upgrade to a different bike and access different parts to make your bike go faster, be more nimble, and have a better braking system. This is the next game in the Urban Trial series after Underground. This game is very similar, just as fun, and more arcade than simulation. The physics are not perfect, but the majority of the time work just fine and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5/10 "Well damnit." Urban Trial Playground is the successor of [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/243450/Urban_Trial_Freestyle/]Urban Trial Freestyle (Review: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/weeddrunken/recommended/243450]click), and unfortunately not a worthy one! Only the visuals have been improved but the rest has gotten worse or is even missing. There are 55 very repetetive tracks and only 2 types of modes (trick high score & against the clock). I am very disappointed as I really…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An average arcade game for relaxing after a long day that will entertain you for a while but in a few days, you will forget about it. The core of the game is fun, but after playing for a while you are facing stereotype and boredom.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I must say that I'm not fully sure how to rate this one. At first, it was kinda frustrating. All those time level made me angry with ride as constant failing, crushing... But the longer I've played it was getting better. Game is not perfect and it has it's own bugs. I haven't played in previous titles of this series. However, I think it's fun to play it on SteamDeck. Beating each level was funnier the longer I played. From me it will be 6.5/10 (get it on sale :) )
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Both the Urban Trials and Urban Trial Playground are super fun, Playground is a bit harder, bigger and more features.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm very genuinely annoyed by the fact that you HAVE to play as a straight couple in this game. Totally ruins it for me because I'm gay and I think it's really tasteless for them to force the boyfriend/girlfriend relationship thing on you in a game that has NOTHING to do with relationships. It's supposed to be a game about bicycles, not a political exercise, now get it right and fix it losers. I'm not kidding, this is downright insulting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awful. It feels very clunky. The controllers don't seem to respond exactly to what you want to do. You try to do flips and it's either spot on, very slow or unresponsive no matter on the ramp or speed. The sound is complete ♥♥♥♥♥, if the bike remains off the ground for more than a couple seconds it starts the bike loop sounds again as if it just started revving. Awful don't buy!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →funny little bike game, why on earth is it 17GB
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-The good- ☑ Plenty nice looking levels! They feel nice too. ☑ Additional Challenges! ☑ Collectables are always fun! ☑ Some levels are challenging but not impossible at all! ☑ Controls are Pretty sweet, But jumping feels weird (Flicking analog up) ☑ 50+ Levels And 10 or so challenge levels. -The Bad- ☐ Collectables are most of the time right after a ramp. Barely hidden. ☐ Only 2 types of levels (Time Trial & High Score) ☐ Time Trial works by collecting "good" clock icons, "Bad"…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda fun, but the levels are lacking compared to Urban Trial Freestyle.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't get the hate around this game, it may not be as good as the previous one, but it is still fun to play and entertaining.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rubbish loading times, rubbish frame rates even on my 27inch Mac Nvidia GTX680 MX with 16G and 2G graphics. Urban Style Freestyle is much better in every respect.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first game had a lot of life put in to it's world which is what drew me in to the possibility of a follow up. This game however doesn't capture that same feeling. That being said, this is far from being a bad game despite it's abundance of small issues.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way too much air resistance...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun game i already love it , easy to learn and hard to master but super addictive. The price right now is extremely cheap for the fun it provides.No bugs encountered yet and it runs really nice..It has some nice rides to play and there is also a multiplayer option something that i didnt even expect from a 5 euro game! GG really awesome!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Trial Playground is another one of these physics-based bike game that doesn't bring anything new to the genre. Its mechanics are basic, its graphics mediocre at best, and it's pretty short... What does it have going for it then ? It takes place under the warm sun of California, and that's what I liked about it. Beaches, luxury hotels, parks and airports : everything looks better under the sun. These are the locations you'll visit while trying to keep your balance and reach the end of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Trial Playground is a vibrant, arcade-style stunt-racing game that trades the grit and punishing difficulty of traditional trials games for a breezier, more playful tone. Developed by Tate Multimedia and Teyon and published by Tate Multimedia, it drops players into sunlit Californian settings where the emphasis is not only on reaching the finish line but on doing so with style. This shift in focus—from precision platforming to flashy, combo-driven runs—defines the game’s identity. It’s a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Trial Playground leaves the chaotic city with its gritty atmosphere back, and moves to California. It is certainly a huge difference of the game's mood and theme. I can't say if it's better or worse, it doesn't have to be either. But it is something new which is a good thing. I'd probably be pissed if they called this " Urban Trial Freestyle 2 ", so changing the name was a good idea. I also find the new gameplay refreshing. Bike controls have been improved for better balancing, there are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not bad actually. It looks ugly and blurry, but it is kinda fun. Time to finish: ~5 hours
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Urban Trials Playground takes the excitement of trials racing to a whole new level, offering a delightful and accessible experience that will captivate both casual players and seasoned riders alike. From its charming art style to its addictive gameplay, this game proves that simplicity can be the key to a truly enjoyable gaming experience. The cartoonish graphics of Urban Trials Playground create a visually appealing world filled with personality. The colorful environments and whimsical…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For 6.99 this is recommendable, especially during any sale. Is it great? No. But for 3 to 5 hours you can have some fun with it: Namely with "trick" levels or "time trial" levels only though. In time trial you have to race against the clock and collect positive time marks, while avoiding the red ones. In the trick levels you have to get your combo meter as high as possible to score enough points. There's also like 8 additional challenge levels included as well. The game is a marked…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad toy. Looks good, plays good and is fun. Physics on par with trials fusion. Nice levels and challenges at a good price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am REALLY enjoying this game, it has some issues, yes, but overall very enjoyable. My main problem is the lack of the game explaining some things, and my loading times are almost instant so I can't read the tips. I was lucky to caught that if you do a wheelie you go faster, very important tip that I could have not known about at all. Found this after 7 hours now, to jump while wheeling, you need to do a Skid (Square button) and jump at the same time, and hope the game responds to that,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not as good as trails freestyle but a great time killer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great fun in short bursts. Worth it in a sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun fast paced arcade style bike game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ no the challenges are far to difficult with no explanation to complete them. and not enough income to enjoy building a bike. gets a 2 out of ten from me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →weird horrific air break
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its decent no better than the previus one Urban Trial Freestyle, which had better level design, but still fun. The gameplay seems easy compared to the previous one as well, until 2 challenge levels that the difficulty spike is just ridiculous: -Single wheelie challenge and -Combo addict, Combo addict it can be done but it will require a decent amount of trials if you are stuck in this one do wheele then skid and repeat while you are in the straight. for the wheelie challange no f&·$ clue. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →69 cents first 5 min well spent blast! & its not that ez a lot of fun! good old days but better 14 hr now lmao good game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10 hours, 23/23 achievements. 100% completion, but 0% chance my bike would survive in real life. Urban Trial Playground is basically Tony Hawk’s cousin who refuses to wear a helmet — ridiculous tricks, silly crashes, and somehow I’m still smiling. Perfect game if you like turning gravity into a polite suggestion.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good basic fun, especially if you're a fan of trials based games!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great local multiplayer split screen game! my sons and i love it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its an okey game, but nothing more tbh. 1 buck is totally fine but what is not fine is the size of the game - 16 gb, srsly?! did u leave ur horse porns in there or what? so the thumb down is basically for the game size.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →funny and nice to play :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not horrible, but for a Trials game it is. The physics are gone and it plays like it was made by n00b game dev's. Everything is just wrong. Urban Trials and pretty much every other Trials game I've played is awesome so I don't know what the hell happened here. There's still fun to be had, but the other games are better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i mean its okay for 7€ but nothing cant beat good old Trials HD
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While i liked the previous entry of the franchise this one does not run smoothly and stutters every few seconds, which takes all the joy of playing out for me :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little boredom killer game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good alternative to trials
