    Game is really underrated, It's clear this game is not SKATE 3 or 4, This game it's is own thing, However there are a lot of stuff that HAS to be fixed and added in order to make this game really good, Hope more updates come out soon

    Good game, Fun to play, And enjoyable, Only issue I have is with the challenges not being available on goofy stance, No multiplayer yet, Lack of customization and a few glitches, But overall those should be fixed in future updates, Also console version feels kinda like a port from pc, A bit annoying

    Skater 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 goSkater 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.… Expand

    Already wrote a review for this on the ps4 version, But honestly game isn't that bad, Yall trippin too much, I agree there needs to be way more content added and fix a lot of the issues the game currently has, But the game is barely in version 1.0 It is clear the game isn't finished yet, The studio just needs funding to afford more updates in order to complete the game, Just be patient LMAO

    At the moment, Skater XL feels more like a skateboarding and lifestyle simulator rather than a fully fleshed-out game. There’s plenty to try and the difficulty level will keep enthusiasts glued to their screens in hopes of nailing those elusive combos, but as a gaming experience, it comes up short.

    There is a solid fundament in Skater XL, and there is a hit of a potentially formidable skating sand box. But there is a heavy layer of polish that needs to be applied before the game is noteworthy.

    Skater XL introduces an innovative and very satisfying control system, but that's all: it feels more like an early access game, still lacking any meaningful content like a story mode or challenges/missions. It's also in need of a visual overhaul, as the skate parks feel too empty and lifeless, skaters lack any expressivity and the overall graphical fidelity is quite low.
