What unfortunately gets in the way of the experience on the Switch is the issues the game has with a struggling framerate, especially while in docked mode. While it generally doesn’t end up looking very good when it is at its worst I also think some of my early struggles with control were tied to this. I say this because in handheld mode the framerate issues are far less frequent and pronounced and in general while playing in handheld mode I found the controls to be more responsive. Even in handheld mode more crowded sections of track or faster-paced rides down big mountainsides tended to get a bit on the chuggy side though. When you stack that on the very straight-forward but uninspiring presentation to everything and it makes for a pretty tough sell. Even without the very prevalent and apparent framerate issues Snow Moto Racing Freedom has on the Switch I think it struggles to be compelling. If you’re really into smowmobiles it’s possible your interest could be higher but treating it merely as an option for a racing game on the platform its novelty doesn’t compensate for the elements it is missing. Then open spaces are generally nice but don’t demand repeated play and the closed courses are technically challenging but not generally very fun either. As a whole these problems make it difficult to recommend.
