Talkative NPCs probably only made up around 10 or so minutes of my four hours playingRiders Republic, but their presence was definitely felt throughout the duration of preview session. Perhaps I’m not the target audience for thezAaAaAaAaAanYpresentation – you might go for it in a big way – but it all felt a bitSteve Buscemi undercover in a school. Costumes fit for a LondonMarathonalso-ran don’t scream cool to me, but that’s probably for the young’uns to decide. But if the chatty in-game friends can stay out of the way, thisSteepfollow-up might turn out to be quite good fun. When you look past the faff, the extreme sports smorgasbord is pretty enjoyable.

To be fair, Riders Republic’s sole concern is your enjoyment. You can do as many flippy-dos as you like on a snowboard, - but you need to be mindful of your body shape if you have manual landing turned on. If you’re not bothered with the extra points you’ll get from direct control over your rider in the air, then stick on auto landing and become a veritableDante Martinon a snowboard.
