An arcade skateboard simulator, in which we find ourselves on the west coast of the United States. While playing in Skater XL we take control over the title skater, and the game consists in performing tricks and combining them into spectacular combinations.
Skater XL is a skateboard simulator. The production was developed by the independent team at Easy Day Studios, whose portfolio includes the warmly-received Skater for mobile devices.
In Skater XL we take control of an eponymous skater. Observing them from TPP, we perform various tricks, trying to score as many points as possible. The key to success is above all to combine individual evolutions into complex combos and smooth transitions from one trick to another. The authors provide us with a number of authentic places located on the west coast of the United States, headed by the famous West LA Courthouse in Los Angeles. As we progress, we unlock not only new clothes for our competitor, but also skaters themselves and better and better boards.
Skater XL is powered by the Unity technology, and the three-dimensional graphics of this title presents a decent level of quality. The game does not support keyboard - a gamepad is required to play.

Game Ratings for Skater XL Video Game.
Push Square: 5 / 10 by Sammy Barker
Once you overcome Skater XL's learning curve there's some fun board-based entertainment to be had here. But this is a lightweight package with subpar presentation, and unless you're so deep into skater culture that you absolutely need a simulation for your PS4, we'd recommend either waiting for this to be updated – or pre-ordering Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 instead.

I am a massive skateboarding game fan and wanted to love this game. Skater XL just does not have enough content to remain enjoyable for very long. The levels, characters and gameplay are dull and I find it very hard to get excited about it. I think it perhaps could be a good game in the future but I do not have that long to wait. Yes, it does have a unique control system and pulling off tricks is fun but we need more than that, as that can only take you so far. Move on people, there's little to see here.

Skater XL tickles the same part of my brain as my favorite racing sims. It provides a compelling sandbox with enough depth that it makes me want to do a difficult thing well. It's simultaneously relaxing. You can fall on your face 500 times, but there are zero consequences for any of it. No one's keeping score, not of points or broken bones. In troubled times, a low stakes challenge can be a welcome one.
