Light on an actual story, these missions introduce players to the different tricks in their tool belt and how to pull them off. Story missions have also been added with the latest patch. Nothing is more satisfying then hitting that kickflip or landing a nosegrind on a long rail. Players new to skating will still spend early hours fumbling tricks and missing rails, but the payoff eventually comes when you start landing tricks. It still takes some time to learn, but assisted mode will keep you from spending a majority of the time on your ass. Thankfully Crea-ture has included an assist mode for new players to help get them acclimated to the mechanics. This can all be a bit much just getting started. Kicking, stopping, and getting off the board are all tied to face buttons while turning is tied to the left and right triggers. If you’re goofy-footed, take everything I just said and flip it. A kickflip – right stick back, left stick right. To pull off an Ollie, you’d hold down the right stick, and flick the left stick up. Session takes things further with each foot being controlled by a separate thumbstick (sorry folks, no mouse and keyboard support). When Skate landed on consoles in 2007, players flocked to it, embracing the sim-like mechanics never before seen in the genre. Those willing to stick it out though and dig a little deeper will find a rewarding experience that rivals a real skate session. Currently in preview, Session has its issues, and learning its mechanics can be just as frustrating as learning to skate in real life. Pushing into my thirties, I am officially retired from ever being “in the scene”, but now Session: Skate Sim, from Crea-ture Studios Inc, is looking to give everyone the full skating experience, minus the scraped elbows and broken bones. It was never for a lack of trying, but I always suspected that my boards throughout the years conspired with gravity to get me to quit. This is an Early Access Review and as such opinions are based solely on the state of the game at the time of review and subject to change as development progresses leading up to final release.
