Shredders

Shredders isn’t a snowboarding game. It’s snowboarding. Clearly drawing inspiration from measured action sports hits like Skate, Shredders makes use of a twin-stick control scheme—the left thumbstick moves your body, the right moves your board—that’s tougher to get the hang of than “press A to jump” but magnitudes more authentic. The result? Fewer triple flips 1800s. More cork 720s. Shredders even features parks designed by a real-world terrain park designer, all the rails, kickers, and spine transfers laid out with natural flow. Like snowboarding on actual slopes, it takes some time to master Shredders’ quirks. But once you get into a flow, you don’t leave it. Consider yourself warned.
