- Lonely Mountains: Downhill is a really fun riding game where you can immerse yourself in the nature of the hillsides. In the base game, you have four different maps with each different routes to enjoy, and while it might sound like not much, you will be able to spend some time in this game. The experience is pretty calming and with the lovely sounds and graphics, you get deeply immersed in the game. Normal progress can still be made if you don’t want to invest too much time in becoming very skilled.
MC_JP · Dec 29, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - There are sixteen trails set across four different mountains, but there’s no two player mode or any other options beyond beating high scores. There’s definitely a desire from the developer to support the game though with DLC adding a fictional volcanic island of Eldfjall this month, but make no mistake – this is not a title that boasts stacks of options.
Maria Alexander · Aug 31, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Lonely Mountains: Downhill is one of those prime examples of a game so simple in its concept but executed so well. There’s a constant force pulling you back in for one more death-defying ride that fans of the Trials series will be no stranger to. Unlike Ubisoft’s loud and goofy rider though, Lonely Mountains: Downhill is a beautiful experience – often times tranquil – that proved an obsession of mine for weeks, the call of the mountain too strong to drag myself away.
Ryan Janes · Jun 25, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Whether you’re pedaling down tight paths with little margin for error, catching air off natural stone ramps, or getting a quicker than expected reprieve by cruising over a railed bridge, Lonely Mountains: Downhill delivers a challenging, yet remarkably calming, experience. Don’t let a few miscues prevent you from checking this one out; it’s a game worth mastering.
Trevor Gould · May 15, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Lonely Mountains: Downhill is crammed full of those moments of elegant crispness, to the exclusion of most anything else. It’s almost exhausting how postcard-pretty the game is, but don’t worry: you’ll crash into a tree or a rock before too long, and come back down to earth with an unceremonious thump.
Tom Baines · May 13, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - An exquisite bike racer-cum-trials game with tight controls, varied courses, and uniquely zen-like presentation. At once calming and demanding, Lonely Mountains: Downhill looks and feels like no other game on the eShop. Barring one or two disappointing technical issues, it's an absolute freewheeling delight.
Jon Mundy · May 07, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - There’s no shortage of weird little games on the Nintendo Switch. Whatever brief escape you’re seeking out, you’re certain to find it on this system. Cycling down a series of hills may not immediately catch your eye, but it should. Sometimes a single mechanic is a blessing, in that it inspires a narrow degree of perfection. On the other hand, there’s a very good chance this game just isn’t for you.
James Paley · May 06, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Whether you enjoy the tranquility of a nice ride through a beautiful forest, or the adrenaline rush of flying down a hill at breakneck speeds, Lonely Mountains: Downhill is the type of game that can make time float away like a leaf in the breeze of a sweet Spring morning.
David Lloyd · May 04, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Lonely Mountains: Downhill has great core gameplay, but it's light on content and its progression forces players to deal with a lot of repetition. The game looks great, sounds great, and controls great (with a controller, anyway), so hopefully the developers get the opportunity to expand on it in a sequel.
Dalton Cooper · Nov 19, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Lonely Mountains: Downhill is a both a relaxing and invigorating change to most games of its nature, in addition to being a game that requires precision, skill and patience to really get the most out of it.
