I truly need y'all to understand how feral I am for @skatestory.com. This game has easily cracked my top 10 (Maybe top 5 👀).

I just sat here with my jaw on the floor for 8hrs straight and rolled credits

10/10, best skating game I've ever played.

Anything @bysameng.com makes is a day 1 for me, ngl

Just finished Skate Story and it was amazing. I had it on my wishlist since the release of the first trailer and I'm happy that it's even better than expected. Thanks for the great game @bysameng.com / @skatestory.com / @devolverdigital.com 💖

thank you for this thinkpiece
Sometimes you play a game that moves you so much you dust off your blog and get to work. Skate Story by @bysameng.com is one such game.

I wrote about public spaces, permission and pain and how all of these things feed skating culture. Thanks for reading!

A Q&A sesh!

I sat down prior to release to chat about the struggles of working while injured, what my daily routine consisted of during game development, and more!

i turned you into a sl*g
i sat for a little bit before listening to a few tracks from near the end whilst talking to a mutual about it and just started full on sobbing silently. @bysameng.com what have you done to me
which is to say: skate story is really special. it's always fun to have a game lead you along one way so it can just completely one-shot you in the back half. went from feeling mildly ambivalent to trying not to tear up at a certain plot beat. fell for sam eng's trick with ease

cant wait to wear the official skate story shirt while skating on the offical skate story board listening to the official skate story soundtrack on the official skate story vinyl
This Holiday Season, when your friends and family ask if you bought any skateboards or any shirts with rabbits on them at the dinner table, you can tell them yes.

Yes I have.

Maverick (@justmaverick.bsky.social) leverages his love for skating in his review of Skate Story (@skatestory.com) by Sam Eng (@bysameng.com)! Bailing is not a failure state, but part of what it means to skate!
Like Eating Glass – Skate Story (PC) Review
The first time I ever got on a skateboard, I fell flat on my back and my friend’s board zoomed out in front of me. Effectively I Lucy Van Pelt’d myself and spent the rest of that summer learning

"The game feels hellishly hostile, but the very act of skating is in defiance of that hostility."

i will never tire of beautifully written reviews.

Can confirm - the game is now awesome on PS5 Pro. Looks like it was just a bug and has been corrected. The game is amazing so do check it out.
The PlayStation 5 Pro patch for bug fixes and optimization has been deployed!

Please update your game to see the changes!
Thank you for skating.
