Besides, who doesn’t want to see a bird do sick tricks on a skateboard?Ī Nintendo Switch review copy of SkateBIRD was provided by Glass Bottom Games for this review.
#SKATEBIRD REVIEW PRO#
If you love Skateboarding games such as SkaterXL, The Ramp, Session, or the old-school Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games, then I think you’ll find a lot to love in Skatebird. I might not be very good at Skatebird, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know a fun, wholesome experience when I see it. You can also choose multiple different bird species, to really nail your custom skateboarding avian friend. The outfits are all super cute and allow you to personalize your bird to whatever your style is. The music was made specifically for the game and has a Hip-Hop Lo-Fi-type feel to it. As you progress through the levels you can get new outfits and music to customize your experience. The accessibility options are vital though because, between that and the options to make the text more easily read, I think a lot of different types of players could enjoy this game. The controls themselves aren’t super complicated, but for people (like myself) that may not have super fast reflexes, I could see some folks struggling.
However, the developers added a slew of accessibility options that allow you to bind multiple actions/tricks to the Ollie button, which makes it easier to execute certain tricks. In truth, I’m not the most coordinated player. Grinding is particularly tricky since you have to carefully balance while maintaining momentum. These quests can be timed and usually involve skating to a specific point, which may require you to master grinding or some other skill in order to reach the item or thing you need. Controls hindered the opportunity to get more out of this experience, and I found my bird spent more time rolling on the ground than around on the skateboard. Certain obstacles can only be traversed with a higher fancy meter.Īs you play, you’ll have a variety of quests to undertake, such as finding your human’s phone charger. SkateBIRD is a serene and meditative experience but relies a little too heavily on nostalgia with its design while removing any real challenge. Your speed is tied to the “FANCY” meter, which fills as you pull off tricks without falling off your board. You can pull off all sorts of tricks, similarly to other popular skating games. You control your bird on a skateboard, traveling around Skate Park areas made out of things like straws, cardboard, staplers, tape, and more. Gameplay is simple in theory but more difficult in practice.
