UBISOFT IS GARBAGE. Uplay is GARBAGE. The microtransactions are GARBAGE.
However, the game itself is amazing. It's your call if you want to deal with Ubi's shenanigans.

I like it and the levels are good but the lootboxes and money grabbing stuff is bad

Trials Rising is everything you love about "Trials" combined with everything that you hate about where the industry has shifted towards over the last decade.
While this game has a poor reputation for its loot boxes (purely cosmetics) and ghosts (easily disabled) --- the biggest downfall for Rising would have to be the stupid Challenge system.
Previous Trials games were more linear... accumulate 'X' amount of medals and you will unlock the next batch of levels. If you're unfortunate enough to achieve Gold's on your first playthrough, Trials Rising will eventually force you to complete a bunch of mindless "Challenges" to level up. Otherwise, you will literally be stuck. The challenges force you to complete random stipulations, such as completing a track within 90 seconds while performing 10 backflips. The next level might require completing the track with a specific bike, and so forth.
Despite my play time on Steam, I've actually logged 10 hours on the PS5; I love the game and wish I could play MORE levels, but I'm burned out. If you do not purchase the Expansion Pass, you will easily get to a point where you can no longer unlock anything within 2-4 hours --- and the highest track difficulty is MEDIUM. I'm actually up to level 53, and I have still not unlocked a single Hard or Ninja track.
There are several Skill Games, and I believe one "tutorial" track is also locked. I'm literally forced to re-play levels... not because *I* want to shave milliseconds from my PB's, or to beat someone else's PB's in my Friends List. No... I have re-play levels and complete whatever mundane "Challenge" the game has generated... grinding away to slowly level up.
It's a shame, because this is otherwise a great game and would have been my favorite Trials game if it simply had a more traditional, linear progression system that allowed me to unlock more stages. I ended up purchasing the game on Steam to support the developer and I hope another Trials game eventually hits the market.
Also, despite recent reviews, the game absolutely still runs as of the time of this review.
If you're a fan of Trials, check it out... on sale. Be prepared to purchase the Expansion Pass, as well. Otherwise, you're only getting a few hours of gaming and a few dozen Easy and Medium tracks until you're forced to grind out the same levels over... and over... and over... and over... and over... and over....
and over...

Hard to believe it has been 5 years since the last Trials game came out. We are really due for a new one
p.s. playtime does not represent total time. Spent countless hours on console

Great game with some (IMO small) missteps...
+ The gameplay is excellent (meaning it hasn't changed at all...)!
+ The levels are truly creative and varied. It's downright impressive at times.
+ Lots of content and it is simply a lot of fun to play whether you are a casual or pro...
- The map system becomes an ugly cluster**** towards the end. It doesn't help you to choose what to play at all. I would prefer just a simple track list. =o
- The less i say about Ubisoft Connect the happier I'll be...
- Pointless cosmetics and lootcrates - never really understood the appeal of these, especially in a game like this. Whatever devtime is used in doing this nonsense takes away from something else that could be improved...
- Some of the sponsor challenges are tedious and not fun to try. They can be infuriatingly punishing (drive on one wheel f.ex.), and they actually can drive you away from the game even though they are optional. =D
- Although the idea is good, the ghost driver loading times are just awful. I recommed turning them off...

Trials is always a treat to come back to.
Deceptively simple mechanics. An amazing community of creatives. Endless competition and improvement.
Trials: Rising just so happens to contain the most bull-shit in the series. (Lootboxes. Pay to win vehicles. Poor UI design.)
If you can ignore the typical Ubisoft grifting and general oversight, then you've got hundreds of hours of game to master right here.

Trials Rising is a physics-based motorcycle platformer racing game where you can play alone against other people's times or with friends. The game is only played with four keys, yes its learning curve is extremely steep. I enjoyed it for a while with friends, but multiplayer is pretty dead, so keep that in mind if you are not planning to play it solo. There is a good variety of tracks, and bikes, but the game is full of micro transactions. 7/10 overall.
