Lonely Mountains : Downhill

So, got into work a couple of Fridays back, and a colleage mentioned that he was playing Zelda Breath of the Wild, he had only just got off the plateau, I was jealous, I remembered the joy, wonder, frustrations, effort required and the sense of acheivement with it all.  And the size.

So I popped onto Metacritic to see if there were any good new games on the Switch, (I'm not getting Paper Mario) and there, on 85% was Lonely Mountains : Downhill, and there top of the reviews was one from the hatefilled Guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2020/may/14/lonely-mountains-downhill-...

Don't read the comments, usual terrible Guardian anti cycling diatribes.

Well with reviews like that how could I not?

So when getting home and updating the Switch (it had been a while) I purchased and downloaded.  It is available on most formats by the way.

It's throwing your little man down a mountain, with birdsong and the crunching of tyres on gravel.  The physics are good and the crashes are many and horrific.  It's not a huge game, but it is only £18.  The night riding is fantastic.

I am very glad I bought it.

I have just upgraded my first bike and I want more...
