Winter is almost here and you can hit the snow early with Shredders. This is a snowboarding game that sees you cruising through thick powder, down big open slopes, between trees and off stacks of jumps. There is a story that kind of links it all together, adding to the missions, event and quests you do when you’re not just cruising around with cutscenes featuring real snowboarders and YouTubers. The world looks nice even if the performance can chug sometimes, and there are seven environments to check out. There’s lots of different tricks to pull off, but the controls are a bit iffy. They’re not complex, but it feels at first like they don’t quite work. Once you get the hang of it, however, it’s cool how you can alter the momentum of your rider in the air and we love the rewind feature that lets you quickly redo moves after a crash. You can also come across other players who are shredding your mountain in multiplayer. A great way to feel the cold before winter hits.
