That's what Skate City brings to the table. A breezy, no-stress experience that's addicting for 15-minute intervals. If you are looking for some low pressure coffee shop skateboarding, this is the game for you.

Push Square: 6 / 10 by Nat Eker

Aesthetically, Skate City fares well. The visuals are simple, but Snowman has nailed the grunge look that the sport is known for. The original score is excellent, and soaking up its relaxing lo-fi beats makes even the most frustrating challenges enjoyable. Unfortunately, the three courses are a tad too realistic and end up feeling interchangeable. However, the addition of a slow-mo function and a dynamic camera make capturing your tricks to craft your own videos a neat additional feature. Take the time to master it, and there's fun to be had in this city.

When I think of skating titles, flashes of things like Tony Hawk or the X-Games come to mind...

Mechanics

Skate City takes players to a number of cities around the world (including Los Angeles and Oslo). The whole whing is shown in a side view. Players move on a skateboard, using the environment to perform tricks. A certain number of points is awarded for each trick, depending on its level of sophistication; however, one should not overdo it, as too much risk can result in a fall.
