Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is famous for turning tricks into performance art. I certainly looked forward to having a similar experience in Skater XL, but the game didn’t quite go as I expected.
By and large, comically flipping through the air and not eating asphalt makes you look and feel cool - especially if you’re anything like me and absolutely suck at boarding in real life. Nailing insane tricks has always been the most attractive aspect about skateboarding games. However, though I understood its vision after my time with it, this virtual board needed more practice in the park. Easy Day Studios’ Skater XL is one such game, finally leaving Early Access. Currently, we’re seeing a bit of a renaissance as a few indie studios are now taking it upon themselves to reinvigorate this genre with new experiences.
But, as the industry came into the 2010s, skateboarding games faded out of favor. The likes of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater spawned a wealth of imitators, and the genre remained active for many years.
As the era of 3D gaming took off in the mid ’90s, it birthed a whole new genre of sports titles that never hit such a high level of popularity until then: skateboarding games.
