Skatebird collectibles pro#

I think Skatebird is worth playing, but maybe only if you’ve got Game Pass. Even the collectibles are pretty short-lived, mainly because there’s just nothing to push you to grab them all unless you’re a completionist. Admittedly, I’m not sure there’s a tonne of innovation to be had, but it would have been nice to see some. There’s not enough variety in the things you do, such as the missions, because they all revolve around the missions you’re used to seeing in skateboarding games. I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing, but it does hold the game back.

However, the gameplay is extremely similar to that in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series. It’s amazing to think that birds might want to do this and the only thing holding them back is having enough tiny skateboards. Overall, the presentation is nice, and I like how every skatepark is basically just a single room to humans that birds have gone wild with. Some of the dialogue can be a bit jarring, but that’s just part of this being a skateboarding game. There’s this whole tiny culture of birds who love skateboarding on tiny skateboards, and they’re all pretty awesome. The crus of the game, as I’ve mentioned, is that you’re a bird. There’s a lot to love here, but ultimately I think it falls short of what it could have been. If you don’t, then it’s probably a game you should stay away from.

While this might not sound that good, I can promise you that it is, as long as you like skateboarding games. Instead of playing as famous skateboarders, you’re playing as a bird. The game is a pretty interesting take on the skateboarding genre with one massive difference.

I’ve been playing a bit of Skatebird every since it launched last week.
