Developed solo by Sam Eng, skate story presents itself as…well, a skate game already, but with the particularity of taking us into a surreal universe – baptized underworld – at the controls of a glass skater who will only be freed by the Devil if he reaches the Moon and… swallows it. Yes it may seem strange said like that, but it is indeed the story that will be told to us between two courses at full speed to chain the tricks craziest, fight demons and save the souls of his fellows. Aesthetically too, Sam Eng’s game plays the fantasy card and is quite clearly reminiscent of a certain SUPERHOT.
On the other hand, for everything related to gameplay, skate story rather eyeing the side of the Skate series. of Electronic Arts – from which we are still awaiting news of the fourth part. Understand by this that the controls will be based mainly on the use of the right analog stick of the controller, which will be joined by the slice keys to multiply the variants.
But let the fans of the discipline lonely by the starving video game offer of recent years temper their enthusiasm: skate story will only be released next year, on PC exclusively (for now).
