    this game is very incomplete feeling. look at the reviews. they are very positive but they are posted by fake accounts. wish i had paid attention to that. there really isnt anything to do in the game. the maps in the game are super out of wack. like your mini map is backwards from the only map you are given that tells you where things are. there is nothing marked on the mini map. there is no interactive map. all this means when you buy a new slope, which i did, it takes forever to find it to be…

    TLDR: absolutely do not buy this. garbage Unity optimization. There is no real gameplay beyond turning on the ski system. Placeholder text everywhere. There are keys during the tutorial that are not bound by default. There was clearly a ton of care put into the detail of how the ski slopes actually run. It is insane how much goes into launching the cable cars and such. Sadly this doesn't really translate into any kind of fun for a video game once you have done it one time. I completed the…

    First off, I don't write many reviews. I love this game, and hate it at the same time. First off, I love the idea of a ski resort game where you get to manage all of the little minute details here and there. But the lack of meaningful free updates and support to this game have made it pretty much unplayable. The biggest of which is the performance issues. On my old PC, it was rough (as I expected), but on my nice new one, it's still horrible. Yes, it may be a Unity thing, but still. Pros: -…

    It doesn't really feel like there is much to do other than operate the ski lifts and maintain the slopes, and no matter what settings I run it at, I can't really get anything above 30FPS. I do appreciate how detailed the ski lifts are, but the game really needs more guides on them that can be triggered while playing and after the tutorial because there's pretty much no way the average person is ever going to remember how to operate each one properly.

    Great game and it is SO REAL!. I love how realistic the lifts are and how you set them up. The only downside I have is that it can get boring. It would be fun if “mistakes” happen. What do I mean by that? Maybe make it so you can respond to calls that you have to “save” as skier or snowboarder by using the snow scooter and find the skier/snowboarder and bring them down to the surface and let the hospital handle it. Same with the lifts. Every skier/snowboarder has had a mistake in a chairlift…

    Who decided a white UI with white writing would be a fabulous idea on an entirely snowy white map? Absolute genius 💡 I’ve spent more time looking around to see the marker or something dark to put the writing over 😭 Shoddy. And no reset to default settings without deleting files? Nice one too 👍

    Your would think your are playing a game from 2013 not 2020 once you start adding things the game lags to the point its unplayable they make you pay for things that should have been base game and instead of making this one better they already have there eyes set on the 3rd one which looks like it will be UE5 slop I would for sure not pay full price for this or the dlcs (I refunded the dlcs they added nothing) overall not worth the price of 24.99 plus if you wanna have any fun the 50$ in dlc

    Very good game, you can customize and build your own ski resort. You can easily mod anything by downloading items from the workshop and operate chairlifts to groomers. This game is definitely worth a try. Some people have mentioned the poor performance, however I have a 2070 SUPER and 5800x3d running this game on a mix of high/ultra settings at 1080p and getting 140 fps.

    I tried this game and it wasn't very good. I did the story mode. It was pretty simple at the start. Plow the slope...which for the life of me, why is the game centered around plowing the slopes, or even managing the chairs on the ropes. But, when I got to the part that I'm to FEED the chairs, it didn't work. I was in the control room and it told me to touch the touchscreen, which I did, but nothing happened. I kept trying it and nothing was happening. I tried pressing every key with my…

    if you are looking for a game where you want the best experience of making a ski resort, this is the choice. The game itself is realistic, but the graphics optimisation isn't the best. And it is a pain to set the slopes up as you need to use alongside game editors such as notepad ++ in order to add the slopes. I am hoping to see these things improved in the upcoming WRS3. and I highly do not recommend playing the game if you have a lower end PC. But if otherwise the game is great (in my opinion)

  • Steam user Steam user …5723Steam reviews · Mar 22, 2026

    This game had great potential--if the developers prioritized game optimization and multiplayer. As of circa 2026, this game still experiences unexpected crashes and frame drops. This is a very unique and is very satisfying to play, but plays similar to Cities: Skylines 2 with the editor. And on the topic of Cities: Skylines 2, that game is also very unoptimized as of circa 2026. It is obvious that creator simulators like this, and Cities: Skylines 2, have to choose between accessibility &…

    TL;DR: Don't buy this, even if it's on sale. It's just bad. (Disclaimer: only played 30 min so far, but would not recommend so far, even on sale. Will update my review later if warranted) This program (I hesitate to call it a game) is very inconsistent and feels like it needed more of a team to review/revise/improve the product. It goes from overly simple controls to mind-numbingly tedious mechanics, all described in what is very obviously English as a Second Language (nothing wrong with…

    I had really high hopes for this game. Although it is 5 years old the graphics are good and it captures the atmosphere of a ski resort nicely. The cableways look great and their operating procedures are very in depth. Unfortunately thats where the good stuff ends. 5 years after release the game is a bug ridden mess and everything except the scenery and the cableways is half baked. The financial/economic model is simplistic and doesn't break down some items enough for reasonable…

    I want to love this game but can't. The greed is insane, first of all you pay 32 dollars for an actually good looking game but then you find the base map sucks, you have no clue what you are doing with no documentation, and the game is boring, like really boring. Then you also find out the driving physics feel like driving a shopping cart with a 40hp engine on it and the snow physics suck. Farm sim is better. For a game dedicated to it. Then i bought the reidstine dlc thinking it would be good…

    This game is truly a masterpice of game studio. I love how accurate the lift models where done. I also love the sandbox mode and i really hope that they expand it in the next game. The only problems i have found is some minor bugs and that the sandbox mode dosent have a lot of actual gameplay. 9/10

    I loved the cool graphics and the workings of the ski lifts, BUT in this game in order to build a ski slope you for whatever reason have to go outside of the game and find codes for the ski slopes to work. Another reason why I had a hard time with this game is the tutorial does not even cover half of the objectives and how to even play the game. If this game had more instruction and it was easier to build slopes and lifts i would totally dig this game.

    Game is decent, but could use some more management options - it feels more like a ski lift operating simulator, snowmaking simulator, and snow cat driving simulator. So if you like these aspects then the game is for you. But the management aspects are simplistic at best and it doesn't feel like the ski tycoon game I was hoping for Game also is a bit unoptimized and framerates drop down to 40 fps in some parts for no apparent reason.

    This game is very difficult at first I finished the tutorial and my lift speed was too slow. I couldn't figure anything out i restarted 3 times to understand. The day I started playing this game I already refunded a game so I'm a tiny bit annoyed. Well this game becomes very frustrating. After doing the tutorial 3 times there's really nothing to this game. All you do is run lifts and groom slopes but theres nothing else to it.
