Still thinking about it
The studio is trash, they feed off the hard work of the mod community and fail to release any kind of original content. If the mod community wasnt so awesome this game would be close to nothing. Get your s*** together easy day.

Frustrating more than fun
11/21 I am updating this review after a large number of people have responded and boosted it to the top and feel obligated to go into more depth of SkaterXL Skater XL conceptually is an amazing game, it has developed a new movement mechanic for the skating genre that is extremely addictive, and solely from the character controller alone, one can sink hundreds of hours into it. Every movement when the system works correctly is satisfying and leaves the player feeling in full control of their character. However, this is where SkaterXL's success ends. The game was rushed out of early access and hyped beyond oblivion with official skate companies, pros, and real-world professional tournaments, and held false promises of a consistent update model and fixes to issues that have plagued the game for nearly 3 years. Easy Day Studio is the defining error with SkaterXL, they lack any professionalism; They're delusional in attacking and threatening the modding community which makes the game remotely playable because they get their feelings hurt. Every update is in development hell with the most basic features that took a week by a modder over half a year to be incorporated. The game lacks optimization and runs horribly even with a 3900x and an RTX 3080. It is inexcusable to call this a full game, Originally posted by Early Access Steamworks Documentation:

not worth playing after removing mods with the newer updates, mods were the one thing that made the game good
not worth playing after removing mods with the newer updates, mods were the one thing that made the game good. Easyday is really having an easy day making a money off of a game that hadn't been updated in over a year. Banning DawgVinci was the start of it going downhill, and the fact that I had to find a way to back track to an older version just to play with the mods that were SAVING THIS SHELL OF A GAME is utterly ridiculous. Download Session instead, its had a decent amount of updates lately and they seem to be more vocal with the community. Other than that, go back the skate series until skate 4 comes out. EasyDay studios, thank you so much for this half baked sandbox, really appreciate what you are doing for the community that supported you since day one. Sincerely, Pissy Canadian kid who gave you too much love in the first place. smfh
