100%ing a childhood game you had trouble with is an incredible feeling. Might need to do this with a few more. Reminds me that I've put in a ton of energy to get better at games and it's been worth it.
The first fully untimed and goal-based game in the series was my favorite as a kid and still is now. It sits at this beautiful place in Tony Hawk mechanics before useless shit like rage and getting off your board were added but when spine transfers and other movement-enhancing mechanics were in place. It's as tight and lean as could be. Everything here works the best it ever did and there's no bullshit.
The humor is mostly on point, but some mean-spirited jokes about sex trafficking and homeless people are Not Great. Most of it is so juvenile and harmless in a way that's still as charming as ever.
