    VR Skater is an enjoyable skateboarding sim that may frustrate anyone seeking quick gratification. Memorizing new tricks is tough, making it challenging to master and a steep learning curve means basic controls only go so far. If you're willing to invest time into learning advanced moves, earning gold medals across maps feels rewarding but rough edges make it difficult to outright recommend.

I'm usually not that into sports games, spending most of my time playing more narrative-focused games, but the last few days I've been playing VR Skater exclusively. As someone who spent his teenage years very dedicated to skating, this game has been a real pleasure to play and improve at. I keep seeing people mention the difficulty, but I feel like I've been steadily improving and am pulling some pretty cool combos/runs after only a few sessions. Sure, you won't be doing 30X combos, but that's because it's more of a sim than say, a tony hawk PS. And honestly, pulling off simple tricks in this feels way better and more rewarding than mastering a tony hawk game.
    My only negative is that the game feels a little empty in terms of levels and modes... hopefully the devs are gonna keep adding new maps and challenges, cause with the price tag being what it is, I do feel like this could quickly get boring and feel overpriced. That said, for now I'm all in and loving it, even while I'm still trying to get good.    … Full Review »
