What players say

Trials Evolution is a PERFECT GAME. The Trials Evolution PC port is pretty good. Ubisoft forcing their launcher on top of the game and gutting online features is bad, horrible, terrible. Every single time i boot the game up i have to type in my Ubisoft password, it shouldn't be like this. This also includes all of Trials HD which is very nice.

Simply an incredible game: super fun to play around with as a beginner, yet deep enough to reward hours upon hours spent practicing, improving, experimenting. It includes all base-game tracks from both Trials Evolution and from the previous game Trials HD, which makes for a great set of tracks to play through. So I recommend it, but there are glaring issues to be aware of: - The game does not include any of the DLC...

Genuinely an amazing game with childhood memories though I cannot massively recommend it since the heart of my memories was online + community maps which have been deactivated since 2024. if that isn't your cup of tea and prefer the campaign then the game is great.
