Inventing a new term bc of this game. Played for thirty minutes and ♥♥♥♥♥ quit.

Best wrestling game ever. No Mercy doesn't have cannibalism!

Everything is not gonna be-e-eee all right.

This game is great on paper, but certainly needs more time in the oven. As someone who can enjoy both Tony Hawk arcade style games and skateboarding simulators, this game fails to scratch either itch. Too floaty for realism (which is fine as it's not trying to be realistic), but also too clunky for combos to feel good.

My main issue is every trick has to be done late. You can't immediately do the input for a trick as soon as you're off the ground, you have to wait until the peak of your Ollie, THEN do your trick. Just bogs down the experience for me as it makes flip tricks feel way slower than they need to be. There also seemed to be an issue where I would crouch for an Ollie, then my skaters decides he's tired and doesn't want too.

The manuals also sound great on paper, as I'm personally not a fan of how modern skate games handle them, but I found myself accidentally doing mannys left right and center. If you're going to have THPS style manuals, make it a different input than the right stick. If anything I think the up down input form the THPS games would work great here.

The last thing I noticed was the balance meter. It seems to have a fondness for pulling you in one direction and one direction only. If it decides it's going up, you can't just tap down and have it start puling down, it'll just keep on pulling up.

I did only log thirty minutes, but it was a very frustrating thirty minutes. But hey, these are just my first impressions of the first demo. Who's to say this game won't improve in the future? Who's to say someone else might have way more fun than I did? I'll certainly be checking back in on it's progress, but in it's current state I am not a fan. I'm gonna go play Underground now.

Building go boom, I shoot gaymer, am happy.
