skate.

The only good map costs in-game currency to visit for 24 hours at a time LOL

it was fun for about 40 hours after that its the same thing over and over and over just not fun

[h1]Not Recommended[/h1] I've put almost 48 hours into this game, and honestly I think that's enough time to finally say how I feel about it. When Season 0 came out I defended this game. It was early access, so I figured I'd give the devs time to improve it. After playing through multiple seasons though, I don't think it's going in the direction I hoped it would. I'd give it a [b]6/10[/b]. The thing is, the actual skating is still really fun. It feels a lot like Skate 3, which is the only reason I keep coming back. Pulling off long trick lines never really gets old. If I get a skating game itch, this is the easiest way to scratch it on PC instead of hooking up my Xbox 360 for Skate 3. The problem is everything around the skating. The biggest disappointment for me is San Van. There are some good spots, but way too much of it is just normal city streets. My favorite thing in Skate 3 was bombing huge downhill runs while trying to land as many tricks as possible at top speed. This game barely has anything like that. The parking garage is honestly one of the best spots in the whole game because it actually lets you build speed and keep a line going. I also expected the world to grow over time. I thought each season would permanently improve the map. Maybe construction sites would finally finish, we'd get new skateparks, or new areas would stay after the season ended. Instead, it feels like the opposite happens. Seasonal ramps and parks get removed, so sometimes it honestly feels like the game is losing content instead of getting more of it. The X Games update is cool, but it's mostly just one area of the map. Almost a year into early access and we're still on one map with barely any permanent additions. The game also pushes the whole "make your own fun" idea, and that can be awesome... until you realize all your and everyone else's work disappears. You spend time setting up ramps and rails, testing everything, making a fun line, then you log off and it's all gone. Next time you play you have to build it all over again. Why can't player creations stay? Even if it's something like Rust servers where community creations stick around until the server resets. Most people would rather play someone else's cool park than spend an hour rebuilding one every session. It's the same reason why the people play mario maker or geometry dash spend more time playing comunity levels than they do making them. Progression is another thing that really hurts the game. Fast travel being locked behind challenges is just annoying. You've already physically been to these places, so why can't you fast travel there? The challenges themselves also get repetitive fast and remind me of old mobile games where you're chasing 3-star ratings over and over. On top of that, you have to level up four different districts separately just to unlock the fast travel locations for the specific district you completed the challenges in. It is also where you get props and rails, which are the tools you need to actually make the sandbox fun. [hr][/hr] [b]What I liked:[/b] [list] [*]The skating still feels great. [*]Landing long trick lines is satisfying. [*]Modern graphics. [*]When you have a good custom setup, the game is at its best. [/list] [b]What I didn't like:[/b] [list] [*]Only one map after almost a year. [*]Very few memorable downhill runs. [*]Seasonal content disappears instead of becoming permanent. [*]Player-made parks disappear when you leave. [*]Fast travel locked behind progression for 4 seprate districts. [*]Challenges get repetitive quickly and are required if you want more props for tricks and sandbox enjoyment. [*]Too much reliance on players making their own fun and not enouguh attractions made by the devs themselves [/list] I'm still hoping 1.0 surprises me because I really do want this game to succeed. There just isn't another modern Skateboarding game like Skate. But after almost a year, I expected a lot more. If they added more maps, permanent skateparks, better downhill courses, let us save player creations, and stopped locking basic features behind repetitive challenges, I think a lot more people would stick around. Come for the skating, leave because of the annoying mechanics.

this game ruined a franchise that molded my childhood, even without the nostalgia the original skate games are leagues above this polished turd. I would genuinely expect this type of slop from a roblox developer, this is what happens when you sellout your beloved franchise, this is the uncle tom of games.

overall buggy experience, with agressive monitization and often laggy online features

They somehow gentrified an already family-friendly media property.

this game is bad, hopefuly you find some whales so we can atleast roll around for free in the future
