The general sentiment among reviews is frustration and disappointment. While skating mechanics are praised for being enjoyable and reminiscent of older games, players feel the game is overwhelmed by monetization tactics, frequent technical issues, and a soulless art style that disconnects from true skate culture. Despite being a free-to-play game, the cost of accessing additional content is seen as a significant barrier, making it difficult for many to overlook the game's flaws.
