    Very fun game, brings back memories of old versions. Soundtrack is also 10/10. Highly recommended, if you like old old Tony Hawk games.

    Very good remakes of both games. Seriously, that's how you remake a game, with stunning visuals and good music.

    Very good remake, i'm still very confused why they called it a "remaster" when it's clearly not. Maybe they thought word "remake" sounds bad, but i disagree. Video Game remakes are usually always better than just remasters, even tho there are some good remasters like Alan Wake. Either way, this is in fact a Remake, not Remaster. They literally re-made original games from ground-up. Anyway,Very good remake, i'm still very confused why they called it a "remaster" when it's clearly not.

    This is exactly what a remake should be. Period. They made all the right changes and updated everything without compromising the original.

    A super smooth and excellent remake. The original challenges will be pretty easy to beat, but they've added hundreds of additional challenges to keep you entertained for a while. It's just nice to go back in time with some excellent graphics and gameplay. Total home run.

    This is how the remake was supposed to be. It was a little upset that the game was released exclusively for the epic game store and requires a constant connection to the Internet.
    It's very impressively fascinating :)

    The Tony Hawk game I've been craving for years. Beautiful new graphics with the classic fluid gameplay and some new great QoL improvements make this game is an absolute blast! Tons of offline replay-ability and haven't even touched the online or park creator yet. Thank you so much Vicarious Visions for your hard work!

    Es asombroso estar nuevamente en el mundo del skate, justo como los años dorados. Es un gran juego con espectacular nivel gráfico, jugabilidad clásica y lo mejor de todo... ¡las canciones originales! También cabe destacar que las nuevas canciones son muy buenas. Nostalgia pura y bien hecha.

But that doesn't stop me from grinding my way to sick scores, feeling like I can take on Tony Hawk toe-to-toe anytime. And it's probably thanks to 3 things VV managed to bring to this remake: great music, timeless level design, and overall feeling of freedom.
    Subtracting half a point from the score because there is a lot to do in this game, but nothing really got me interested for a longer time - it could use some innovations in the career mode.

    + great music
    + timeless level design
    + overall feeling of freedom

    - the tutorial is rather simplistic so the entry threshold is high
    - could use some new modes (maybe career mode with an actual career?)    … Expand

I'm running max settings at 4k and over 60fps on a 1080 ti. Vicarious Visions did a great job at keeping it true to the original games while adding a ton of extra unlockables and a great music playlist. This game truly has a little something for everybody in terms of customization, music, and options to assist new players. They've also added a very extensive create a park mode with online functionality to upload and share your creations with others. My only complaint is the lack of face customization on the create a character. But with the amount of apparel and equipment customization it kind of cancels it out. If you are a fan of the originals this is a must have. And for any newcomers curious about what gaming in the 90's was like, you won't be disappointed. The core experience is better than it has ever been for the entire Tony Hawk franchise. I hope they choose to remake some of the newer ones like 3,4 and the underground series. Because I will gladly play those again in all the remastered glory that Vicarious Visions is capable of providing.… Expand

    Probably the best remake I've ever played. I'm really glad that they've chosen a conservative path for this game. You can really tell that they have tried their best to improve graphics and gameplay while keeping old vibes alive. Let alone the awesome soundtrack!

    From a technical point of view, the game runs really, really smooth, features great visuals and sound-design.

    This remaster has been balanced pretty much perfectly.

    Combining the most minimal of touches to maps and game-play, with much improved graphics and performance (The struggle to get 30FPS on the originals is long gone thankfully!), fans of the originals won't be disappointed.

    Twenty-something years later and this franchise still has it! The arcady yet complex gameplay, with multiple different combinations for pulling of incredible tricks, has not aged one bit.

    Excellent remake of the originals, there's a few convoluted things added in the background, like challenges that unlock boards and what have you, but at least it isn't paid cosmetics, the core game is just as good as it was in 1999!

    The blood spatter is gone when you stack, plus they have bleeped curse words in the music. Come on guys, i'm 36, make this an optional thing in game. So -1 point.

    The other drawback to this game is it's an "exclusive title" to epic games... Meaning I now have yet another game launcher installed with 1 title in it's library, while my steam account sits with 259. A bit frustrating because it's just more bloated crap to install, i'm dropping it another point for that.    … Expand

    This is without doubt the best skating game on PC. I have Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD on the PC and it's nowhere near this good. There is no set goal on Skater XL or Sessions, it's boring.

I think it's really lame that people are giving this a bad score over Epic. I'm no fan of China but the games great and that's just sad. I highly recommend setting the FOV to 90 for a minute and trying that out. A little trick only us PC users can do at the moment. Anyone giving this a bad score really shouldn't even be allowed to review a game. Shame on you for real. Rate the game not the platform.… Expand

    It's perfect. It's simply perfect. The only possible improvement would have been the inclusion of THPS3, which i'm hoping we get as DLC. I'd pay full price for it!

    A very worthy remake of the first two games in the series, absolutely love it. It can be seen that the team put not only their energy into the project, but also their soul. Many thanks to the VV team for the work done and the child's emotions during the game. I wish you guys the greatest luck and look forward to new remakes of the series, or better, its continuation.

    It is pretty clear to me that Activision wanted to make the purest remaster that they could while still bringing the quality of life changes that everyone deserved in 2020. In my personal opinion, this is the best title of the year, especially with the fact that I can play it at a constant 60FPS with my 2700x and 2080 and it is as smooth as butter. There are fast load times and even smoother bail transitions which allow you to get right back into the action faster.
