    To see a small studio like Easy Day Studios create something that is not only reminiscent of the games that clearly influenced them, but overall improves on what its predecessors did, is heartening. Sure, it has its fair share of flaws, but none of them take away from how much fun I’ve had. Skater XL has successfully brought back the skateboarding genre, and I am eager to see how Easy Day Studios supports the game moving forward.

    I definitely think Skater XL is worth checking out, more so on the PC for the mod side of things than the console version at the moment. But if you’re not opposed to challenging yourself and seeking out your own fun with a responsive, unique physics-based control system, then I think you’ll still get some enjoyment with the current release of the game. Ideally, future updates will flesh out the experience even more, and based on the early access process prior to release, it does seem as if developer Easy Day Studios is committed to Skater XL for the long haul.

    Skater XL is a game i recommend to any skateboarding enthusiast. The mechanics are detailed when it comes to actually playing the game. YouSkater XL is a game i recommend to any skateboarding enthusiast. The mechanics are detailed when it comes to actually playing the game. You cant just hit a to jump and press square to hit a trick. You couldn't go over a gap and get insane unrealistic height. And in order to grind you actually required momentum and skill to land and move. If not just like in real life you wouldnt go anywhere and would just have to balance or hop off. I was happy with how the controls worked for your feet and not the directions. And i enjoyed how you shifted your body to turn and not just do it hecause thats how logic in games work. I wish the graphics would have been better and that there wqs a scoring system or campaign mode. But lets be honest when your a skater you never went for thwt in the first place. This is the most realistic skateboard game o have ever touched. And i played it happily. If not for the few current issues this game can easily get much better and seems like a game many people will truly like or dislike. If this would have been a much lower price of admission it would be more in line with it's current state of finish, but due to price and the poor graphics and lack of anything other than challenges it will not. I still recommend this game though. Its fun and will make you feel like you're actually riding while playing it. Only time will tell but I feel like Skater XL has a promising future as the updates are made available.… Full Review »
