  All in all, Steep: Road to the Olympics doesn’t do much to upset the formula. There are tweaks and refinements, but at its core, this is the same uniquely playable game that delivers something nothing else quite manages. If the prospect of doing it all over again on a staggeringly beautiful new Japanese mountain appeals, then step up to the podium.

  Steep: Road to the Olympics is a pretty significant expansion for Steep. With it, you get a decent sized story that leads you on a journey to become an Olympic gold medalist. The inclusion of interviews from actual Olympic athletes was a very nice touch. Some of the gameplay is frustrating due to some technical issues like bad hit-detection – but if you’ve played through Steep, you’re well aware of what to expect.

  The new map is huge and varied, and definitely the best part of the new expansion. You can do the Road to the Olympics story right from the start of the game (after the tutorial), and it’s only about 3-5 hours long. It’s worth playing through, but the long term fun comes from Japan itself, playing with others, and trying out all the different ways you can explore the map.

  There's more going on in these winter sports than what happens when the world pays attention every four years, and Steep shouldn't be held hostage by the Olympics when what it does is working so well already. This content neither plays to Steep's existing strengths nor gives gamers looking for Olympic competition anything satisfying.

  The truth is though, is that for those who jump into it feet first it’s easily worth the price. Being able to hurtle down yet more mountains with all the available disciplines equates to huge amounts of fun, and there’s nothing else quite like it available. This is an expansion in the traditional sense, and while its self-contained story is little more than a diversion, it’s got a lot more going for it.

  As it is, the moments where Road to the Olympics shines are when you're shredding through waist-deep powder at breakneck speeds through a picturesque glade, or careening from the very peak of a mountain down through ravines and all the way to the base far below. The new mountain is beautiful and features a good number of opportunities, and it's a welcome expansion of Steep's playable territory.
