However, if you have the option, go with the PC version of the game, especially considering that the game is coming to Xbox Game Pass next month. Wholesome Direct: Everything Announced, Including Lake Release Date, Skatebird Accessibility - Summer of Gaming Over 70 games including Ooblets update, Spirit Swap, Button City, Hot Pot for One. By all means, if you have younger gamers or Switch is your primary gaming device, then playing Skatebird on Switch will probably be just fine for you.

Sometimes you will need to use barrels or metal balls to get. Being a ball doesn’t limit you as much, you can control buttons, laser switches, and doors to reach the end of the level. I’m not going to say “buyer beware” in regards to the Switch version of Skatebird. Summary: Orbibot is a game in which you control a ball-shaped robot and solve physics- and logic-based puzzles. I’m glad that the team behind Skatebird seems to share this same sentiment. If we’re currently living in a new golden age of skateboarding games, it’s only appropriate that Ska comes roaring back in as well. Featuring a completely original soundtrack composed by Nathan Madsen, along with a handful of licensed tracks, Skatebird’s music is my favorite part of the game – whether I’m mindlessly cruising throughout the level while listening to chill hop-style rhythms and melodies (which referred to as lofi Bird-hop by its creators), or bobbing my head along to the beat of a Ska track.

Whether you’re playing on Switch or PC, by far, the best feature in Skatebird is its music. I was about as non-zen as I could be while playing Skatebird on Switch – a stark difference in comparison to our preview of the game. Okay, that’s a bit dramatic, but with the typewriter and graphical issues, along with the unresponsive controls (which I mostly attribute to the terribly designed Joy-Con controllers), it just wasn’t an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, the entire Switch experience gave me a sour taste in my mouth and had me ready to hurl my handheld device out my second story window and onto the street below where perhaps a skateboarder would ollie directly onto the device, shattering it into a million pieces. I initially began my review by playing the game on the Nintendo Switch, since it seemed to be the platform of choice that was shown off during various gaming showcases in the build-up to its release. With that said, I need to disclose that I’m approaching this review a bit differently than other reviews, as I reviewed Skatebird on two different platforms at basically the same time. While playing, I couldn’t help but be reminded of a really, REALLY well-done remaster of 1998’s Rugrats: Search for Reptar levels mixed with 2000’s Grind Session (I promise this is a compliment). Don’t expect to be blown away if you’re already a hardened veteran of the genre. In that sense, the game is a great entry point for those just starting to cut their teeth on the skateboarding genre. You do, however, have a double jump ability and a slower descent back to the ground after catching big air.

If you’ve played any games in the THPS series, you will be immediately familiar with Skatebird’s single button flip tricks, grabs, rotations, stalls, and grinds. Each level has a different theme, such as a bedroom and an office, where Birb will kick flip and tail grab its way over ramps, rails, and big air jumps made out of everyday objects like leftover pizza boxes and straws.Ĭontrols are about as straightforward as you can get.
