How I learned to Skate Reviews

That psychological horror tag is surprisingly accurate.

this was made by a psychopath and i dont think i enjoyed a moment of playing this.

Saw a pallet at the hardware store and flew into an uncontrollable rage. 10/10 proper psychological horror tag

Beautiful game. Very chill atmosphere with straightforward gameplay; just move onward. However, the game's creative movement mechanics and increasing difficulty make it a real challenge to finish. 5/5

Is good, although that it's good and why should be obvious based on the screenshots and trailers. Shame they removed the demo though. That said, as much as I appreciate a difficult game, there are limits. Frustration is fine, exhaustion is not. This game feels exhausting to play once they start knocking you back checkpoints upon failure. When it comes to timing puzzles you're basically guaranteed to fail it a few times before getting it. Knocking the player back an extra checkpoint for that when there are three timing puzzles in a row means I have to replay that previous level nine times through no fault of my own before I can even attempt the technical challenge.

While the challenge is the main focus, I have to give some appreciation towards the artistic direction of this game. It looks really pretty and there is a lot of visual variety between sections. The birds eye view you see the game through is really unique and it is used in very clever ways, sometimes adding to the challenge. Great game if you don't mind the brutal difficulty, my first completion was in 11:33:52, with 2,616 falls!

It's a very relaxing and cool game. Play this if you are having a rough day. It will surely make your day much better. Quality relaxing music and chill game play. Would recommend this to anyone anywhere.

ALT+F4:ing in frustration only to start the game again in three seconds makes me wonder if I have an addiction. Every time I start to feel like I am the best skater in the world, the game slaps my face with a sledgehammer. 5/5 [i]git gud[/i]

Such a good Awkward control sim, the control are really hard to learn and master, but feel so satisfying once you do. Couple that with the sound design that sounds like you are there and the pretty aspect and its a masterpiece of a game. I only wish i was better at it so i could fully experience it

The controls are unique but feel good after some getting used to, and the sensation of gliding around on the ice is great. Fantastic visuals and sound too. The game is extremely punishing tho. First chapter is easy enough, but right after that is a huge difficulty spike where the checkpoints start being placed insanely far apart. And after that you get to a section where you gotta control 2 skaters at once and the game even starts pushing you back to the PREVIOUS checkpoint if you fall. I like the unique controls of games like these but I don't enjoy loosing progress so I have a hard time recommending this game, but it's unique enough to still warrant a thumbs up.
