Skate Early Access: A Promising Foundation Marred by Familiar Frustrations,Gamereactor Finds
San Van,CA – The early access release of Skate is a mixed bag,offering a compelling core experience alongside rough edges that hint at a possibly great game needing meaningful refinement,according to a new review from Gamereactor.While the free-to-play model is a major draw, veteran fans may find some aspects of the reboot disappointing if they crave the unadulterated focus on skillful skating and creative chaos of previous installments.
Gamereactor’s reviewer notes the daily tasks and integrated progression system provide a solid reason to engage with the game’s activities, praising it as a “great foundation” for the ongoing Early Access development. Though, they also reiterate concerns raised in a pre-release preview - namely, that core mechanics and systems feel ”deaf” and require substantial improvement.The reviewer anticipates a significant “EA curve ball,” mirroring experiences with titles like Battlefield 6, suggesting a long road ahead for development.
Despite its shortcomings, the game’s potential shines through in San van’s world and core gameplay. The reviewer emphasizes that Skate is currently playable without any financial investment, but cautions that those seeking a purely skill-based experience, or the freedom to perform outlandish stunts without friction, may find themselves longing for elements of the original games. gamereactor’s full review can be found at https://www.gamereactor.cn/skate-preview-a-tad-quirky-but-or else-a-welcome-return-1110313/.
