For example, you can change the game speed if things are going too fast for you and you can’t keep up. There’s also a nice amount of accessibility in this game. I also loved how the developers proudly feature the smaller artists featured in Skatebird. There’s a good variety of tunes with genres like ska and skate punk here, as is expected. Skatebird has a decent soundtrack comprised of an original OST best described as “lofi bird-hop” and a selection of licensed music from smaller artists. I loved this concept you go skatebirds, stick it to those suits. It doesn’t pretend to be anything that it’s not you’re a bird that can skateboard, who needs anything more? The main storyline is centered around a rad and colorful group of skateboarding feathered friends trying to cheer up their depressed Big Friend, who has been shackled to the confines of tech startups and abandoned his skateboard long ago. It’s lighthearted and also funny at times. Skatebird is a game about doing your best and just having a good time. Right at the start, this game has an inviting and comfortable aura to it. Unfortunately, Skatebird has let me down immensely as nothing more than a mediocre Tony Hawk clone with a novelty concept that does more to hurt it than help it.įirst things first, though, there are some really great, commendable qualities to Skatebird. Playing as a bird instead of the birdman, neat. I was excited to check out this neat concept of a game skateboarding birds.
There has been such a massive gap in the skating video game scene for so long, and it is only now being patched up through remakes, reimaginings, and reinventions, with Skatebird being the latest to try and get in on the action. I’m a big fan of the Tony Hawk games, I grew up with them, and they will always hold a special place in my heart.
