THE GOOD
- Birds are cute and the character designer is extensive.
- The music is pretty good (if you like ska)
- Anthony Hawk won my heart.
THE BAD
- The skating can feel really, really bad and you might fall off your board without knowing why.
- If you dislike ska, just turn off the music.
- Levels and missions can be frustrating as hell.
The vibes are immaculate but the skating is challenging to say the least.
I saw the trailer for the game when it first was announced and was super hyped about it. Tony Hawk birds sounds great.
I started the game on gamepass and quit almost immediately. The skating is not intuitive or easy to control.
A year later, I got Skatebird in a humble bundle and decided to give it another shot. I turned all of the difficulty settings to as low as they would go. It was a way better experience. The skating did get better as I played but the seemingly random bailing when you hit a surface slightly off-kilter still feels bad.
The character designer is great and the birbs have huge personalities. If you aren't into borderline twee birds talking about their problems, then this game isn't for you.
