Fusing a solid foundation of satisfyingly grounded skate tricks with a bizarre, abstract world, Skate Story wobbles a little under its weirdness but there’s no doubt it’s one of the most distinctive skateboarding games of the decade.

Skate Story is a gorgeous, extraordinary narrative adventure - and one that just so happens to require skateboarding.

While it lasts, this is quite easily the most strikingly unique and visually interesting skating game you can play, and we can't help but respect its relentless effort to go against the grain.

There are moments of gameplay during the climax of Skate Story that are some of the most visceral, original, and downright impressive that I've experienced for a very long time. Its great-feeling skating isn't always pushed to its limits, but the sheer craft, personality, and audiovisual flair throughout largely compensate.Overall, Skate Story is an enjoyable, offbeat adventure game with a striking, unique identity. It might not be difficult, but if its tone speaks to you, you'll find plenty to appreciate for its relatively short duration: sliding at speed around corners, landing shove-its, jumping across crevices, grinding through crystalline underworlds, and, yes, eating moons – all to a superb soundtrack.
