Why does this page look different?
We're in the process of merging Giant Bomb game entries to IGDB entries. This is an older Giant Bomb page. It's safe to use, and all data will eventually be moved to the corresponding IGDB entry.
The skateboarding mechanics feel great, they have a really solid foundation here, but it completely lacks any form of identity.
I enjoy the social aspect where there's other players constantly skating around you, noticing a group have found a cool spot and setup a few ramps is a nice feeling. However it does feel like a mode that's meant to be in a broader game. When you realise that there's nothing else it can feel a bit like oh...
The general tone, annoying dialogue with quips and jokes that don't land, and the sheer amount of bugs makes the early access incredibly bare bones. I had to restart the game every time i finished a mission in order to display the next mission... Kinda strange to think they've been working on this since 2020 and maybe even before, and yet this is what we've got.
My mind, body, and soul is ready for this. Didn't realise it was releasing in early access later today! I don't think anything can really top the previous Skate titles, but it looks like this really hones in on the whacky fun factor:)
