With a stuttering, iffy camera and controls that just aren’t up to scratch with other games in the genre, SkateBIRD takes a while to get used to, and its jankiness means it’s never really satisfying to play. The premise is that you’re the lonely pet bird of a former skateboarding owner, who is no longer around as much to look after you, and isn’t having the best time of it with work - so you’re here to team up with your other bird friends and save the day. You skate in open, free-play levels, with collectables to find and missions to complete in order to progress to the next part of the story. SkateBIRD’s gameplay setup follows a structure that anyone who has played a 3D skating game should be familiar with. SkateBIRD features a wide variety of bird species to customise and style, with hats, glasses, belts, and more.
Skatebird release pro#
Announced in December 2019 and given quite a push by Nintendo, SkateBIRD turned a lot of heads with its wholesome, quirky premise, and has been hotly anticipated for a while. Having enjoyed Skate City earlier this year, I was looking forward to greasing the bearings and dropping in on this one, but with games like that and even Tony Hawk’s Pro Skateron the platform already, the early bird had certainly not caught the worm here, and had a lot to prove.įurther delay after originally being slated for release in 2020 means that SkateBIRD has flown the nest even later than expected and, unfortunately, with shoddy controls, repetitive music, and some uninspiring level design, the game ends up being more birdfan than birdman.
