Skating is popular as players discover abnormal travel styles, but not enough to cope with the “mixed” steam review score

The long-awaited next generation entrance is in the skateboard series skate Finally here, some of the best moments we've seen players share so far don't even include skateboarding.

Obviously, anyone can act like this. As Kontoletzplay explainyou just need to hold forward and move back and forth between the scrolling and the diffusing eagle.

“Scrolling is fast, and the rolling jump is great.” “At the same time; the scattered eagle will give you the speed in the air, which will put you in a landslide once you land on the ground. It's very simple, but it does take some habits, considering that the developer certainly doesn't build this action. But it can use this way. But it's just: from scroll > auto-falling > auto-range roll> roll> roll> roll> roll> scroll> scroll> repetition> repetition> repetition>;

Steam reviews waving on hijinx on the map, which shows that not everyone has that good time as the remaining 6,300+ user reviews so far put skating on the total score of the “mixed” PC player complains collapse,,,,, Bad soundand “Missing” feature Like meat and professional skating halls.

“If you are looking for a real successor to skate 1, 2 and 3, that’s not.” Write A reviewer. “All other game elements in the previous titles except the controls have been stripped of. No meat, no ice skating games, no real-life professionals. In their absence, we got a fully-featured cash store in the 7GB beta and we couldn't believe I've been waiting for a few years.”

“Online only slop with day one server issues, same challenges over and over for ripoff chips for a spin on the loopbox casino for frankly terrible costumes, none of the gamemodes that made the previous games fun, No Skate, deathraces, own the spot career or hall of meat, the art style is not what the devs promised in earlier playtest builds, character creation and customisation is bysmal,” Believed An unhappy player.

However, this is not all bad news. “I think people will review the bomb when it comes out.” explain Not very important fans. “Listen, this game is great. It's one of the best feel skating games we have right now. I know people are upset about the lack of story mode and the lack of features, but it's accessing early…people don't know about it?”

Skating hands-on preview Earlier this year. “The gameplay seems so sophisticated, living up to its predecessors, the world is big and fun, and the whole sandbox 'do what you want' atmosphere really makes me look forward to a new dive.”
