The good
- Generally fun bike segments
- Impressive level design
- Decent soundtrack
- Other vehicles provide a change of pace
The bad
- Frustrating and dull on-foot sequences
- Too much platforming
Summary
Trials of the Blood Dragon is very much a stripped down and experimental Trials game with some elements faring better than others. The level design is generally very impressive with the title offering some truly memorable and unique moments. The soundtrack is also a highlight and helps to keep you invested in the game despite the less than stellar storyline. Unfortunately, You are too often yanked out of the fun and satisfying bike segments and put into these less than inspiring on-foot platforming sequences which spoil the flow of the game and feel bland, boring and superfluous.
