Skater XL - The Ultimate Skateboarding Game

Rating 7.77/10 I’ve been playing Skater XL since the beta yeaaars ago, and man, this game had so much promise. As someone who skates in real life, I was stoked when I first picked it up—the skating felt more real than anything else on the market, and the control over tricks was exactly what I’d been wanting. The open-world vibe and realistic physics were a breath of fresh air for a skating game. But here we are, and while it still has potential, it really needs some TLC. The game feels like it’s still in the "could-be-great" phase, with awesome physics and smooth controls but not much else. The maps feel limited, there’s not much progression or variety, and some of the glitches and bugs can really take you out of the experience. As much as I love the feel of skating in the game, it’s hard not to feel like it’s been left on the shelf. I still play it because I genuinely enjoy the skateboarding in it, but it’s like an old board that’s been sitting in the garage for too long—it’s got potential, but it just needs a little more attention. More maps, more features, and less random bugs would make this something special. I’m still rooting for it, but come on, Skater XL—give us that extra push to get us fully stoked.

The Biggest example of a company going into early access, raking in money from gamers keen to play a long awaited skating game and then never finishing it. This game feels unpolished in so many places and relies on community mods to have any real content, which is barely passable. These devs scammed everyone who bought into the early version and I cannot believe they were allowed to release this as a "finished" product. Basically all of my hours were put in during EA waiting for the game to be built, and it just never happened.

modding this game turns in into the best skate game made, idc abt session, this better

Would love to recommend it but with the time and effort that the developer put into it I just can't. It was one of my favourite game for a very long time and it's a fun game to kill time. The potential was limitless. The dev got support from player, content creator and the fund to improve the game in everyway. But it's so frustrating to see all that support got thrown in the trash. Please dev for the love of god do something with the game already it's a pot of gold waiting to be found but feel like the dev is too blind too see it.

Multiplayer Update was nice. But no game modes for it at all nor will there ever be. Took the many and ran is what the dev's did. They capitalized as being the one of two noteworthy games previous to SKATE 4 being on pc and took advantage of the community by doing so. The situation really sucks. because now EA will outpace the greed of nobody game dev's I'm very dissapointed

Skater XL could be much better than it actually is. The devs are really unique in their approach to ignore their playerbase, I've never seen something like this before, especially not on an indie game. That being said, it's still the best skating simulation we have to date, especially with mods there is nothing that comes close.

MOD THIS GAME, MAKE SURE TO GET A HOLD OF UNITY MOD MANAGER SO YOU CAN USE XLGearModifier!!!

Tried to get into this but on recent days it just felt like a wasted potential of a good game but this is only my opinion
