However, players can repeat levels to earn better scores and unlock new costumes and secret Extreme tracks. There are other, weirder twists, too, like a level in which reality warps and twists as the character undergoes a drug-induced hallucination.Įven compared to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, this game is relatively short, with no more than four hours or so of gameplay in its main campaign.

Probably the most notable addition is the grappling hook, which adds a whole new level of implausible (and implausibly entertaining) physics to the game. New players who get the hang of it will feel like real 80s action heroes, but it doesn't pay to get complacent: the game adds new mechanics frequently, meaning that the player is always learning. Like the other Trials games, Trials of the Blood Dragon can feel punishingly difficult at first figuring out how to control the motorcycle is largely a matter of trial and error.

Naturally, the whole thing is drenched in 80s retro-futurism, with nods to Saturday morning cartoons and the Power Rangers as well as classics like Indiana Jones or Big Trouble in Little China as well as modern 80s-inspired works like Hotline Miami. This spinoff of the Trials series adds some wrinkles to the tried-and-true motorcycle gameplay, incorporating two-stick platforming sections, jetpack missions, shooting and even some stealth to keep the game feeling fresh.
