Skate Story review – the best skateboard game of the decade
- On December 8th, Skate Story launches on PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, placing players in a glass/crystalline demon who skates to eat moons and provoke the Devil.
- Announced in 2022, Skate Story endured delays before reaching players, launching December 8th amid 2025’s notable skate slate including Tony Hawk series, EA’s Skate, and OlliOlli World.
- Gameplay alternates between tight third-person skating, curated corridor sequences and open hub areas requiring combo challenges and task completion to descend deeper.
- Critics warned that limited replay and no extra modes curb long-term engagement despite reviewers awarding it a 9/10 for skating and style, according to Sam Eng and Andrew Webster.
- Skate Story marries precise skating with psychedelic, narrative-driven visuals and oddball characters, including a talking rabbit, pigeon blogger, and frog barista, while Blood Cultures’ electropop soundtrack elevates emotional crescendos, making some reviewers see it as an overlooked 2025 standout.
