They’re a small team and what they accomplished with SkaterXL is impressive. I’m not blaming the dev team at Easy Day Studios for just how quiet things got after the game launched. On console, things went disappointingly quiet shortly after the game launched in July 2020. The PC version of this game has had an explosive surge in content from players, as they modded the game to include their favourite brands, new maps and tons of quality of life improvements. SkaterXL had a bit of a slow launch on consoles. So, if you’re keeping score, we’re currently tied with one recommendation a piece.įor this article, I’ll dive into SkaterXL first, seeing as it’s technically more advanced in build number ( v1.1). In my SkaterXL review back in the Summer of last year, I began to warm to that game as the better of the two. To sum up where we are: In my original 2019 blog post, I felt Session was the better game at the time. At this juncture in the lifespans of both games, I thought it was worth revisiting these two games to update my recommendation. On the other side, Session has recently released a substantial update to it’s early access build (v0.0.0.7), which revolutionises the game and answers many criticisms players had early on (myself included). SkaterXL has now enjoyed a full 7 months as a full retail product, making great strides with help from the games hugely talented community. Even with these two heavy hitters coming back to consoles, Session and SkaterXL have held their own, offering something decidedly more realistic than their more well known counterparts. Speaking of former rivals: my original blog post came way before we had a new, amazing Tony Hawk game, and before EA announced the return of the much-loved Skate franchise. The similarities between the two were numerous, however, and ultimately they were bound to be compared to one another, even more so than any previous competing games about skateboarding. Session and SkaterXL both gave hope to many who thought skateboarding games were completely dead. All the way back in August 2019, I posted an article about two competing skateboarding games.
