Everest: Real Climbing Simulator Demo Impressions — A Climb That Falls Apart Fast

Posted on January 25, 2026May 2, 2026 By Ronny Fiksdahl

A climb that should feel epic — but the demo kept breaking the illusion

Reviewed on PC.Demo First Impressions

Everest: Real Climbing Simulator has a concept that should sell itself: a tense, grounded climb where every step matters. But the demo I played turned into a string of “WTF” moments — glitches, bugs, and immersion-breaking issues that made it hard to take seriously.

If you want more PC coverage like this, you can browse our PC Reviews section.

My video speaks for itself. Look at how the demo behaves and decide for yourself.

My take: not a buy — even at the current Steam discount

I’m keeping this simple: I won’t buy the full game. Not even at the current 40% off discount. The demo didn’t just feel rough — it felt broken in ways that killed any sense of tension or “sim” authenticity.

What went wrong in the demo

  • Glitches and bugs: enough to constantly interrupt the flow.
  • Too many immersion breaks: moments where you stop thinking about climbing and start thinking about the game fighting you.
  • Overall feel: more frustration than challenge.

Everest: Real Climbing Simulator

Release: January 20, 2026

Genre: Simulation

Developer / Publisher: Funcity

Platforms: PC — Steam

Should you check it out anyway?

If you’re curious, the demo is worth a look purely as a “see it for yourself” situation — but I wouldn’t recommend it as a confident path toward buying the full game in its current state. Watch the video first and you’ll understand exactly why.
