Two unfinished games – Skater XL (basically a mod platform with no real career) – Session (solid mechanics but still janky and underbaked after years in Early Access)

Two emulated games – Skate 2 – Skate 3

…and that’s it. EA had a 15-year window to deliver a polished Skate 4 and instead launched a live-service experiment. Now the only way to get a complete, authentic skateboarding experience is to emulate decade-old titles or play unfinished indie sims.

I played about 10 hours of skate 4, it doesnt seem any sillier than skate 3, i enjoyed it before my hands got sore flipping the sticks around
