I've been hearing a lot about the game and a bunch of articles have said it's free to play and ready but I can't find a link or anywhere I can play it. Can anybody help me out?

if you want immediate access to it you can buy it on steam for 10 usd
http://store.steampowered.com/app/244930/

or you you can sign up for the closed beta on their website (completly free)
http://www.snowthegame.com/

but the problem with the second method is that the devs are sending out keys really rarly atm. some people are complaining that they havent got a key yet even though they signed up for the beta 4 months ago.

so i would go and buy it, it is definately worth it and they just released a new update today. :)

no this game is based on the engine named cryengine which doesnt support mac right now. as i know, the devs of it are working on a mac-support. when the engine is ready for mac, the snow-devs can start working on their mac-version. it definately needs some time, just be patient

It's an alright game, but it has its flaws.
I would play shredsauce over Snow any day.

Agreed, shredsauce is so much smoother

It is actually surprisingly smooth on a beefy computer. But the latest update has fucked so much stuff up. The game is really laggy right now. I'm sure they'll put out a fix for it sometime

yea, I've been playing it for around a year now. super pissed off about the micro transactions, but the new parks on the test build are running really smoothly. some issues I've had are things like not getting enough speed on areas like the B&E map and randomly sticking to rails or wall rides.

i'm really stoked about the new half pipe physics, they seem like they are almost un-breakable. as-well as the replay working really well. when the new LO2 was introduced i was bummed out cause i really liked the old park they should have had it available aswell.

I've been playing it with a modded ps3 controller as i get more control from the analog sticks. i'm gonna keep playing unless im skiing
