With all its shortcomings, Steep is the best of in this genre currently. Graphics gameplay design, it will give you many hours of fun before you run out of things to do. There is simply nothing else you could try over Steep. I am saying it as someone who played ea Snow.
Who Steep is for? It is for people who need to relax, love snow and winter but cant afford or don't have mountains nearby.
I cant express how relaxing it is riding a snowboard at night. It is currently my top game for relaxation.
Things I d like to see in the next game:
1. Even better graphics with everything current game engines can provide
2. More complex to the point of unrealistic tricks and motions for crazy tricks and jumps
3. Animals, I mean all of them. Birds, bears, deer. perhaps even deadly Amur tigers? (Russia DLC incoming)
4. Huge huge map, including real and imaginary locations. For example, a mountain with active volcano, and you, sliding down along the lava just few meters away. Or a frozen forest with ice and reflection of the ice using current graphic technologies.
5. I am trying to use the right words to explain something else I really want in the next Steep. It has to be the game mechanics immersing you into the game and sports. I mean when you accelerate or slow down. It has to feel amazing. Kind of like the moment in Avatar when you flyer is diving down accelerating to a very fast speed.
