The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some praising their quality while others criticize them as primitive and poorly optimized. Players have noted issues such as a capped frame rate at 60 fps and increased system heat during gameplay, which detracts from the overall experience. Comparisons to older titles in the series highlight a significant decline in visual fidelity, leading to disappointment among long-time fans.
“Great graphics, but now the FPS is capped at 60. The physics are not the same, changing the way you play.”
“The graphics are far from optimized, and running this game heats up my rig a lot more than much prettier games do.”
“The graphics on this one are pretty primitive.”
“As a big and long-time fan of the (unfortunately Windows only) Trials series, I hoped that this could be like Trials Fusion for Linux, but it's not... bad graphics (I mean really bad, even compared to Trials 2 from 2007) and I couldn't even find out how to make it fullscreen. It's like a Trials ripoff where someone removed everything that made it fun, enjoyable, and good looking.”

The game lacks a main story or overarching objective, focusing instead on completing levels, whether they are default or community-created. It is described as a quick and smooth experience, suitable for casual play without narrative depth.
“This game loads up very fast on my 2010 Gateway laptop and is very smooth at at least 30fps, but it is a very good game only if you are bored and want something quick to play with no main story or objective besides completing a level that is game default or community made.”
