Skater XL - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

Love this game. Perfect for 45-60min sit downs. I think those that have skated in real life will enjoy this game. Better described as skate simulator What i love: - realism - board sensitivity is awesome - you can do slow/fast flip tricks and add your own sense of style to each trick. Loved it - challenge - i had to think about my tricks/lines before attempting and i loved that doing tricks switch is actually more difficult than normal. It adds a really fun challenge. I got a lot of satisfaction from finding a spot, planning my line, and stomping it after several tries - in-game challenges - really helped me ramp up the learning curve and added some purpose to an otherwise free play game - mod support - added new maps and clothing options. Great addition - original maps - people complain that there isn’t a ton of content in the beginning which i get (only 3-4 maps), but i feel like i get a lot of utility of the original maps. They force players to get creative with what’s available in each location

Mechanically, the way you control the board seems to be the next step in skating games. But the thing is, it’s a work in progress. The physics can be a little whack at times, but it can be truly great with updates and continued support. Not too many levels so keep your expectations low for variety. If you love skating though, it’s a no brained for something new!

My son really liked his skating games in xbox360. So he really wanted this game. However a week or so later was bored with it. He never plays it anymore

Great game. If you like the old skate games you’ll love this game. Even tho it is a little different you’ll love it

A well evolving game I love the controls and the added upgrades

Great skate boarding game In a market where there aren’t many to choose from. Also good for creativity as you can create your own tracks that can be shared online. My kids really like being able to create and show us.

Awesome game, and if you're a fan of skateboarding and the EA Skate series, I think you'll like this. It's harder to control and the control scheme is harder to get use to, but it makes landing tricks much more rewarding when it happens, and no two tricks flick and feel the same, which keeps the game feeling different every time. It's still tough for me to control as of today, but it's great overall.

As a skater and a fan of skate games, I appreciate the authenticity and care that the developers put into this game. Hopefully there are more updates because it can be glitchy sometimes and could use more maps, challenges, etc.
