If you've been reading the site throughout the past couple of weeks (and why wouldn't you?) one of the recent releases that should've stood out was Grand Mountain Adventure 2 and its complex snowsports simulation. And now players using controllers can enjoy full support for their gamepad of choice!
Grand Mountain Adventure 2 takes you to the slopes of ... with a variety of snowsport activities to partake in. Whether that be classics like skiing and snowboarding or paragliding and ziplining! You'll be able to explore a wide open-world skiing resort experience, dodging hordes of tourists as you head downhill.
Just the trailer alone stood out to me when writing about it, with vast numbers of other skiers to avoid, avalanches and weather effects and a genuinely vast world to explore. It's a wonder how it manages to fit on mobile with all this, but the technical wizardry doesn't end there now that Grand Mountain Adventure 2 has controller support!
One of my more controversial opinions is that the main issue many developers and players have with the mobile platform lies in its controls. After all, handheld devices have always been a hotbed for great releases. But the touchscreen, as wonderful as it is, is far better at smoothly scrolling social media and music streaming apps than it is at tight and responsive controls, at least in my opinion.
Therefore it's good to see a number of developers taking the step of adopting gamepad support and ensuring that there's a wide variety of accessibility options for eager players to use.
Speaking of which, if you're looking to see what we think of some top controllers why not check out Jack Brassel's review of the NEO S gamepad and see whether or not this funky purple piece of kit is worth your money?
