Nostalgia incarnate and all the more beautiful and entertaining for it. I'm a big fan of Skates more realistic approach but there is something stupidly fun about pulling off 20 move combos impossible in the real world. I'm not sure what I'd consider completed on a game like this, usually I go off seeing a credit roll but that hasn't happened so far. I 100% both core games now I'm just doing the speed runs and ranked play before I start exploring some of the other elements. The soundtrack was also a major blast from the past and gave me some intense feels. I only really listened to the songs once or so then just switched to my own playlists.

If you have fond memories of the original series then this is a no brainer. I'm actually sort of curious what people think who have made this their entry point to the series.

My only big complaint is probably replayability since I'm more of a single player but I think the online elements might keep me occupied further once I start dipping in. We shall see.
