Trials Fusion Welcome to the Abyss Review - TXH

Neil writes "Trials Fusion has recently gone underwater with its latest downloadable content pack, but is Welcome to the Abyss a worthy addition to the Trials world?"

Nice!

I think Trials lost it's way this iteration to be honest, it's personality got lost.
Will be on this as soon as.

Too many Trials games, maybe developers should make something else.

The first 2 games on XBLA just had a fantastic value for money: Lots of content and fun for a fair price.

Recently bought Fusion for PS4 when it was on sale for 10 euro, and even though I was a huge fan of the XBLA games, Fusion left me very much underwhelmed.

I like the new sci-fi style, but most of the tracks are just wayyyy too easy and short, and thus there's hardly any replay-value, which the first two games did have.

Graphics are great, handling is great, but it just feels like a lazy greedy cash-grab. It's just not as challenging, rewarding and thus fun as the first two games, and content-wise it's very disappointing because most tracks are too easy to offer any replay-value.

Then there's the whole DLC Season Pass, which seems overpriced (DLC for the first 2 games was perfect, content-wise and price-wise), and no online MP.

Finally, it seems the Island which you get to create stuff on is smaller, and Evolution had a nice series of online youtube tutorials for all the tools, but Fusion just has very long 2 hour streams of a group of guys creating stuff. It's not beginner-friendly to quickly look up a specific tutorial.

Oh, and I also don't care about the numerous unlocks and mods for your rider and bike. I want to create my own character (hair color, different bodytypes, hair style, skin color, etc) and drive around without a helmet, instead of like some kind of cyborg or something from Mad Max.
