Okay game but quite basic in my opinion, basically what you see in the screenshots is what you get. You ride from left to right and you can do tricks, you can do a wheelie, stoppie and skid, duck and hop, backflip and frontflip and you chain these together with wheelies like doing a manual in Tony Hawk games. It's been a while since I finished this game (posting a review since there are none yet) so I might be missing some but basically left right up and down tricks stoppie and skid, no - and I might be inventing some names here - barhops, superman or these kind of tricks. Also, perhaps a tiny spoiler for some so spoiler warning, you get a trial stage and then a race stage then trial and then race and so on till the last level and the races are pretty mandatory to continue (you get stars or something as rating and need enough of them to advance) I would personally have preferred to be able to do trials only or choose if I want to do the races or not, might be possible if you get three stars on each trial stage but I doubt it. Additionally the bike upgrades are of the sort that maybe the third upgrade for your engine for example is the most badass and the more powerful ones are less impressive. Maybe a matter of taste but I would think bigger is usually more awesome. So in other words upgrading your bike sometimes makes it look worse in my opinion. Also was a bit laggy on my laptop, GTX 1060 with I7 Acer Predator, had to turn graphics down from ultra, bit odd for a 2.5D game like this I thought. I would give it 3.5 stars but since I can't give half stars it's 3/5.
An exemplary game in efficiency, smoothness and no BS in my opinion. You boot it up, you get one Flying Wild Hog logo, no 50 companies having to introduce themselves, and afterwards you're straight into the main menu, which is very clean in my opinion showing resume game, new game, setting and a few others like credits and extras. After I press resume game I'm into the game in seconds, with smooth 141 framerate at 1440p ultrawide ultra settings with my GTX 1080 around 56% (Apparently with no AA since I turned off FXAA ingame, I think I meant to turn on AA in Nvidia control panel but apparently didn't however turning it on in Nvidia control panel doesn't make much difference on performance with my GTX1080 it appears). Lowest 0.1% while playing (so not when opening menus etc) I noticed was 137 I believe and when manically jumping around moving the camera and maybe shooting around trying to tank the framerate 0.1% of 139 was lowest I got. So smooth. I personally love this style of graphics. Makes me wonder why games like Agents of Mayhem (which I enjoyed) run at 70-80 FPS unless cranking down settings more. One odd thing is that I have to rebind the flashlight each time I play, it's unbound each time I start the game again. Game is also fun and straight forward in my opinion. I would not mind more enemy variety. Rest you can probabbly easily read in other reviews I think. Game 4 stars, smoothness and presentation 5 stars so a final score of 4.5 stars I'd say.
