It’s darn cute, intuitive, accessible and has some really funky tunes. It’s a great little indie game that offers those old school Tony Hawk vibes and brings a very unique perspective to the skateboarding game genre.
Once through the initial story of around 5-8 hours, there is little more to do other than collect all the achievements, clothing items, mixtapes and skateboards. With all things considered, they deliver this in a neat little package for all players. SkateBIRD states that its focus is trying your best, cool birbs, story, big air & tricks and small exploration. Skatebird is a cute and original arcade skating game supported by great music, but the skating itself is crude, the objectives are boring, and the camera is a regular hassle. However, thanks to the amazing forethought of the developers, I was able to adjust the settings so I could enjoy the game. Personally, it would’ve been more enjoyable for me had I been able to pick up and play the game out of the box without needing to fiddle with the setting so much. Helping our Big Friend as a cute fuzzy birb is both enjoyable and frustrating. It takes around 6-8 hours to unlock all of the achievements on Xbox One.
SKATEBIRD ACHIEVEMENTS HOW TO
After some googling and help from a friend, I was able to decipher the options and work out how to shift the sensitivity so I could successfully complete the objective… which I did… in the next minute. Full list of all 12 SkateBIRD achievements worth 1,000 gamerscore. I’m used to language such as ‘sensitivity’ in the options menu, however, the settings here used language such as ‘deadzones’ that was just foreign to me. I was stuck on a simple objective for over half an hour because I was unable to line up a jump properly, as my birb kept swinging too wide. Although with that said, I still needed to play a lot with the settings to help me actually complete any objectives. Once I switched to a controller, I found it much easier to handle the tricks and movement of my little skate birb. The keyboard controls are far too clunky and the default keys are too spread out for ergonomic gameplay. I can confidently say that a gamepad or controller is definitely the way to go.
SKATEBIRD ACHIEVEMENTS PRO
There is a reason that when tasked with remastering Pro Skater 1 and 2, Vicarious Visions deliberately used the now ancient source code for the game instead of creating something.
You can even skip the beginning cutscene. Then take a selfish for another achievement. Once you gain control of your character, take out camera and take a photo for an achievement. In my first attempt at the game, I used a mouse and keyboard, which is more native to me. Skatebird just isn’t as responsive as it should be the physics are far too floaty for this game style and are generally just too difficult to gauge and predict. Not just for starting, but that GWG for this month, beasts of whatever island has 2 super easy ones. Whilst I really appreciated the sheer amount of accessibility and control adjustment options available, I was overwhelmed and confused with the language used. The controls are where I really struggled with SkateBIRD.
