Skate varies-with-devices

Skateboarding enthusiasts, get ready for an immersive and thrilling experience with the game Skate. Developed by Electronic Arts, this paid sports game brings back the award-winning franchise in a whole new engine, offering more realistic physics and exciting new content.

In Skate, players can explore various locations and skate parks, or even create their own unique skateboarding spots. But what sets this game apart is the introduction of a new element: parkour or freerunning. This adds a whole new level of excitement and challenges for players to conquer.

For fans who have been eagerly waiting for a new installment in the franchise since Skate 3 in 2010, Skate is definitely worth the wait. It offers a physics-focused alternative to Skate City, providing a difficult yet rewarding gameplay experience.

The game maintains the core identity of the franchise, with realistic game physics that make sloppy tricks look hilariously awkward. The controls are similar to its predecessors, making it easy for existing players to adapt. However, new players should be prepared for a steep learning curve.

Skate takes place in a captivating setting that combines fictional and real-life elements. The detailed set designs and custom textures add to the immersive experience, even with the fast-paced nature of the game. The inclusion of freerunning mechanics further enhances the gameplay, offering players additional off-board movement options.

Overall, Skate is a fantastic return to form for the franchise. It not only brings the game to modern systems but also retains the qualities that made it stand out in the first place. Players can expect smoother game responses, a whole new world to explore, and exciting movement options beyond traditional skateboarding.
