Excellent physics-based mechanics remain intact, but a frustrating progression grind puts the brakes on fun.

I’d say it’s the best Trials game because it’s the one that works that hardest to teach you how to be any good at Trials.

Trials Rising expands the engrossing and challenging gameplay from its past entries, but it also fails to address some of their issues.

Even with a clumsy progression system, Trials Rising's vibrant tracks, tight controls, and excellent tutorials are some of the best in the series.

The physics are still phenomenal, and the series has retained its addictive quality, but it can occasionally feel like a game looking for answers to questions that didn't necessarily exist to begin with.

Trials Rising is the (mostly) full package you've been waiting for. With its huge list of tracks to tackle and all the races and trick-based stunts you could ask for, RedLynx has served up the best instalment in the series since Trials Evolution. With a killer soundtrack, tons of customisation and an impressively deep tutorial mode, it's only really let down by a tutorial-free Track Editor. The drop to 30fps might put off those also playing on other platforms and the drop in visual fidelity can be hard to miss at times, but despite its blemishes, Trials has proved its right at home on Nintendo Switch.

Trials Rising has even more customization and an awesome set of levels, but a bit of a grind to get them.
