    Tanuki Sunset is a third-person longboarding game where players follow Tanuki, a rad raccoon with a longboard and a dream to land on the cover of the #1 magazine in Sunset Island: FISH!

    Players must master longboard drifting to make their way from mountains ranges, through the city and down to the beach of Sunset Island. Throughout the journey players will guide Tanuki to perform rad tricks, jump-off ramps, all while avoiding cars and multiple obstacles. Collecting Tanuki Bits along the way is important to redeem for items and gear at Bob's Skate Shop, where players can customize Tanuki's outfit and longboard to better suit their personal style.

    Tanuki Sunset started off as a free-to-play game, and like any good games “journalist” I tried it out before writing this review; while there are some major improvements in the expanded, for-purchase version, I can’t help but think that it should have just stayed as a free to play game. Transforming an endless runner-style game into one with semi-procedurally generated levels does not work in this case. The aesthetic might be off the charts and just your style, but the gameplay is a real bummer, not even a cute and furry main character could stop me from wanting to bail at the first chance I got.
