More about Steep™

Critics scored it 72. Players sit 11 points higher at 83 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 11 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 11.9-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 26 of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 474 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 47 percent of the 5,101 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 11.9 hours; clearing it takes 38, which is 3.2 times the campaign.

What players say

I sincerely recommend this game to y'all because it's the best extreme sports game I have ever played in my life. [*]There are some cons regarding the game design and some bad decisions in terms of checkpoint locations in the missions. [*]I'd like to remove the Ubisoft stuff because it's sometimes distracting, and I don't want to see unknown HUD notifications. I'm used to seeing Steam notifications, and that's...

Excellent game about downhill runs on skis, snowboards, sleds, and wingsuits. The game exceeded my expectations. The only downside is that a lot of content is unavailable in the base version of the game, including sleds. For those who value their bones and don't want a broken spine or neck, it's better to play this game and not try this stuff in real life. I say this from personal experience: when I was younger, I...
