Session: Skate Sim Review - The Final Verdict

Session: Skate Sim is a simulation that’s for the skaters and by the skaters, but that also means that the game might not probably appeal to anyone not willing to spend dozens of hours in trying to understand the many nuances of this complex web of mechanics and physics.

Furthermore, the bland visual presentation and the lackluster story campaign doesn’t do any favors to anyone who’s not really into skating or simulation-styled experiences. But for fans wanting a really in-depth simulation of this adventure sport, Session: Skate Sim might just be the game you are looking for.

The fact that he's pushing mongo tells you everything you need to know about this review.

ouch. imagine barely playing, not looking into settings and making a review like this. what a joke.

"Tire radius". You mean wheel size? Come on man lol.

[thedrkness]

Ur problem with the close camera is fixed with the camera settings close, mid and far. Crazy how if u look in the settings u can change things to make it more fun and comfortable for the player.

Bruh “arenas” “based on real spots”. Dude the maps in the game are 100% real locations that they tried to recreate 1:1 as much as possible. It would have probably helped if you actually did some research about skating and it’s culture before doing this review.

Its a bit shame that people who havent skated in real life are not gonna really appreciate all nuances and depth this game has. Its basically game for skaters.

[davidespejo]

This dude had to resort to using pre-made gameplay clips cuz he didn't bother learning the game enough to showcase his own. Wow.

Hahaha comparing tony hawks to session . This reviewer has no idea

[adamschulte]

You can change how close the camera is in the options. There is a deeper trick list. You can adjust so many settings for your controls AND your board it’s kinda unreal. The tricks are accurate. ALL the spots in the cities are real spots. The game was made by 12 people at the start. Nothing else compares to this.

Ive always said if your not a skater in real life it's difficult to give a accurate review score for a skateboard simulator.This is only the second real skate Simulator ever released. As a skater whose had hundreds of skater xl hours behind the thumb, Session gets a 7.5 in my book and future updates going to better the whole experience for sure.

A skater shoulda prolly reviewed this 🤷🏽‍♂️

[scoobydoo]

Tyre radius? It’s not a game about 4x4 man come on

[AnthonyRiddle]

It looks like the Skate series of games was the inspiration for this game rather than the Tony Hawk games.
Similar camera angles as Skate. Realistic simulation style play over arcade style play. Higher learning curve over pick up and play.
This is a spiritual sequel or homage to the Skate series of games, not THPS

[calumhodgson]

“Tyre radius” wow I’ve heard enough of this review now🤦🏼‍♂️

[lostworldofjj]

ITS A FREAKING SKATEBOARDING SIMULATION so yeah its gonne be difficult controls, can you get a freaking skater to review this game he calls tricks stunts and just full on is such a bad review of the damn game for what it is! BTW you can change the damn camera from close to mid or far! did you by chance have the game in Low graphics because it looks Fire

[marcradford]

These games are perfect for old people who use to skate AND current skaters.

If you are neither you can't really play a game like this, there are no preset moves so how would they know what to WANT to do?

Glad they made it I'm a 50 year old that never stops thinking about skating :)

[randywillimas]

This is what happens if you buy a review on wish

[lvngwndw]

I'm sorry did you just say "tire-radius"?

[WhatInTheActual]

It's not that the popularity of skateboarding games has gone down but rather that there have not been many good skateboarding games since the last skate. Really wish Tony Hawk would release a game that had skate controls with both sticks.

At first I was all about skater XL and then I played the session beta on PC and I was like ok this is dope and then I got the full game recently and it's dope af. It's definitely better than skater XL. I like both but session definitely takes the cake and even on console you can tweak the gameplay to make it even more realistic. The base settings when you start off playing are already damn near perfect. If you play skater xl on console the settings are horrible. Session is definitely much much better on console and PC.

It's definitely the most difficult skate game I've ever played and this is coming from someone who grew up skating and swore nothing was better than skater xl but damn session is dope af and better than skater xl. I guarantee whoever says skater xl is better hasn't played session.
