I’ve been waiting a long time for a new Skate and honestly the actual skating feels good. Controls are fun, tricks link together nicely, and just rolling around with friends has been the highlight for me so far. It really does capture that feeling of just hanging out and messing around on a board.

The biggest issue I’ve had is with the story stuff. I can’t really progress through missions right now, which takes away from that sense of having goals to chase. Hopefully that gets fixed soon, because the base skating is solid and it would be great to have working missions on top of that.

If you just want to skate, make clips, or play around online with friends, there’s fun to be had here already. If you’re more interested in structure and story, it might be worth waiting a bit until they patch it up.
