Report #246: Trials Fusion
From easy to extreme
Recently watched some people playing it and got interested again in the game. It was a couple of months in Playstation Plus, but I hardly reached the easy and medium finish line. Now I progressed even further than expected. There are a couple of easy, medium, hard and extreme maps. To get the extreme maps you need to finish all games at least once, and all the easy and medium on gold. So in total 110 medals over maybe around 50 maps.
Now all that is left are the extreme maps, but they are really really extreme. And tons of user generated maps. And there is the season pass, I might grab it during sale, we'll see.
For now this counts as beaten in my library.
Fusion is my least favourite of the latest main entries. If you haven’t played HD or Evolution, they are a lot more entertaining than fusion in my opinion and the best of the series by far.
HD and Evo had the best level design, the best art direction and were a pure joy to play.
Fusion with its future theme didn’t really click with me. And the level design felt really poor in comparison.
Rising so far is okay but the grind and lootbox is the most stupid and useless addition to the series. Especially considering that you need to complete the level to earn XP, which is so retarded when you consider the real goal to Trials is getting a better time. Which mean if you see you failed you’ll reset and restart. So while I can spend an hour “grinding” a track for a good time or better medals, if I don’t reach the end and wait for my credit, I don’t earn anything…. And having to beat the track and wait for the credit is a complete waste of time.
Anyway, HD and Evo, best Trials game ever!
