The general sentiment towards this game is quite divided. While the skating mechanics receive praise for retaining the core feel of earlier games, there is significant frustration with bugs and a lack of content. The art style and early access status have sparked considerable debate, with many feeling the game lacks the gritty charm and full feature set of its predecessors. While the skateboarding itself is widely enjoyed, the presence of aggressive monetization and always-online requirement are points of contention among players who were hoping for a more complete and polished title akin to previous Skate entries.

Positive Points

  • Many players appreciate the core skating mechanics, stating they feel smoother and more responsive than previous entries.

    • Mixed Points

  • The early access label is recognized, with some understanding of the missing features, while others feel it should have been more complete on release.
  • The online-only nature of the game is seen as both a way to connect with others and a hindrance when encountering server issues.
