Tony Hawk is back babyyyyy! When I was a young whippersnapper, the Tony Hawk were all the rage. But then, Activision did what they do best, ran the franchise into the ground by producing far too many games in an effort to make bank on its popularity. The quality of the games dipped, and people lost interest. There have been a few attempts to bring the series back, but this is the first one that actually worked.

This game is just as fun as I remember them being. The skating feels so good, and it is just so much fun navigating the world using grinds and wall rides. Though I wish this game was more just a remake of the first two games. As a remake it is quite good, but the "3 minutes to complete a series of challenges" structure of the game just isn't terribly interesting to me. Much prefer Pro Skater 4 honestly. What I really want to see though is just an entirely new game. This game is great, but just feels like a prettied up nostalgia trip.
