Skate Story

An amazing masterpiece. A satisfying skating game with psychadelic visuals and an even abstracter story. Loving it

DIVINE COMEDY 2: ELCTRIC BOOGALOO

Прошёл эту игру на PS5, потому что получил её по подписке, но и в стиме тоже купил, так как игра того стоит. Что будет если скрестить Pro Skater'а, Дантовский ад, Синтвейв и накинуть на это стиля? Получится эта игра. Прошёл её один залпом и расставаться не хотел. Это трудно описать, но время этой игры, поймал ощущение уюта и полного расслабления. В игре потрясно всё. Интересные персонажи. Закрученный, с отсылками на Дантовский ад сюжет. Геймплей, который сумели сделать максимально интересным и разнообразным трюками. Боссы, ни один из которых, почти, не повторяется. Музыкальный стиль, который радует на протяжении всей игры. Забавный юмор и т.д., и т.д. Про игру можно сказать кучу всего лестного, но лучше, потрогать самому. Уверяю вас вы не пожалеете. Это максимально необычный опыт, но именно такого я и жду от игр. Игры давно перешагнули ярлык "развлекуха для детей", теперь это способ самовыражения. Видеоигры стали настоящим искусством и данная игра тому пример. Sam Eng, спасибо, что дал пережить этот потрясный опыт. Читающим советую купить и пройти игру, а я пошёл покупать себе скейт)

Phénoménal

Skate Story is one of the best audiovisual experiences in my Steam library. Make sure you experience it with good speakers or headphones because the audio work is pristine and a large contributor to this game's vibe. It is one of those games I wanted to keep playing just because of the soundtrack. This is not a walking simulator, you will need to learn at least some of the mechanics well enough to proceed in the story, and you should expect to fail about a hundred times (the game is generally forgiving when you do, outside of some timed sections). At the same time, note that this is not the greatest skating sim ever; this is a mostly linear game that uses skating as a vehicle to tell its story... like the title says. Even if you don't care about skating IRL or in games, if the trailers left you somewhat interested, then I think you really should play this game.

Peak art in video game form. I loved this experience so much. This will be a game I replay every so often. The vibes are impeccable. The visual-music experience is done so effectively. I'm sad it's over.

6/10 – Empieza bien, pero conforme avanzas se vuelve más frustrante que difícil. La mayor parte del problema es que el juego se siente injusto: la cámara se sacude demasiado (aunque desactives el camera shake), hay ángulos muy molestos, el monstruo atraviesa tu personaje y tapa la visión, aparecen varios bugs y, a veces, el muñeco se rompe sin motivo. La traducción al español está incompleta hacia el final. El apartado artístico es bonito y la música está bien, pero la historia es confusa. El tramo final es el peor: en lugar de poner a prueba tu habilidad, te obliga a hacer *spam* de trucos con un temporizador demasiado ajustado. No es injugable, pero muchas muertes se sienten totalmente injustas. Lo recomendaría solo en oferta y si tienes mucha paciencia. Lo olvidaba, por si fuera poco, varios dialogos estan repetidos, me refiero a los npc, asi que tampoco es muy inmersivo ver el mismo mensaje de texto en 6 personajes diferentes... que les costaba poner otro texto... dios...

what a disappointment man, i genuinely feel bad not recommending the game. this game is like my older brother, he introduces me to a really fun game/activity, then every time i get into a flow state with it he rips the controller away from me and makes me read his quirky dark souls fanfiction instead. that's what this game felt like and it annoys me to no end. i love weird stuff so much (cruelty squad <3), and i LOVVEE stories in games done right (lisa the painful <3<3<3). but when i feel like the narrative is genuinely ACTIVELY fighting against the fun gameplay, when i physically deflate the moment i realize game time is over and its back to mashing the a button through convoluted abstracted world building and quirky character dialogue, when the indie game in the 2020s trying to feel unique actually feels strongly like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ N64 game from the 90s (in spirit), i no longer can get behind the overall product. i know you can skip cutscenes, but that's not really a satisfying solution to this glaring problem (imo). there's no new game+ and no incentive for repeat plays despite having VERY good gameplay, i thought the sticker/skate deck system clashed hardcore with the games structure, rather than feeling like living, breathing entities characters feel more like pawns used to guide stupid players like me into whatever fetch quest the developer had to insert to get things rolling forward. whatever the dev's honest intentions were with the game, at a certain point i had to acknowledge that this game just simply wasn't made for me, even if the gameplay felt like it was. this felt like writing a eulogy for my crack addict brother who OD'd rather than a review for a video game man, they had the makings of something truly special but that dream has fizzled away and what's left is a collection of mixed-feeling memories that i just cant stand to think about anymore. sorry.

Love in digital graphics

Skating fun Story bit too long, especially when it's esoteric and has no specific meaning. Feels like unique vision, worth time and attention Music medium good. Un-enunciated singing gets old after a while. Climax is evangelion-esque and holds some narrative weight.
