Trials: Rising is a wildly fun game that offers both simplicity and depth in the most satisfying of ways, despite an occasionally annoying soundtrack.

There’s a certain charm to Trials and how it manages to make one victory worth a thousand failures, with each game from RedLynx generally being fun, lengthy and imaginative. While there’s plenty to do and create in Trials Rising this month, the studio is planning to launch plenty of extra content after release…for a price of course.

There’s a reason that this RedLynx/Ubisoft series has been with us for so many years (20 if you include the original Java version). Basically it’s fun. We could’ve said flat-out fun, but there’s much more finesse to the experience than that, as players soon discover. Just like learning to ride a real bike, the basics of Trials never truly leave you. But as the series has evolved, the gameplay has become ever more nuanced, and now it’s time for more people to explore the many ways that flipping two-wheeled rides around like a fool can be so very fulfilling.

Trials is back, bringing all the tight and technical gameplay the series is known for.

It's Trials Fusion but not as you know it, as Trials of the Blood Dragon takes the franchise in a silly story-driven direction.

Trials Evolution breaks out of the warehouse, and into new ground, with a sequel that just might be the greatest example of a game significantly improving on an established formula.

Gentlemen, start your engines. The terribly addictive sequel to Trials HD, Trials Evolution is here.

Ubisoft has purchased TRials HD developer REdLynx - and that means you can expect to see Trials on more platforms.
