Children will find this game very difficult and likely get frustrated with it because of how close it resembles actual skateboarding. For the audience, this game is intended for the game needed to be much simpler and more refined. Knowing your target audience when building a game like this is pivotal when trying to make a splash in the market and making sales. The skateboarding fever I used to know and love still lies with Tony Hawk and the games from yesteryear. Generation Y are addicted to telephones, tablets, Tik Tok, and various other online personalities.
The skateboarding phase from generation X is all but grown up now.
However, the target audience for this game isn’t your general preteen or child who enjoy playing Xbox or Nintendo. The birds are cute, they are well animated and you can customise them in loads of different ways. A bit gimmicky | Skatebird does have a lot of charm to it.Not many games these days include a level of control and customisation that this offers and I am pleased to see it listed on the Can I play that website for people with disabilities. Accessability | Skatebird has a wealth of accessibility options which I am all for.With the missions, once you have completed all of the said objectives within the skate area, you then unlock new skate areas to play in which range from rooftops, offices, and messy bedrooms. Items and letters required for individual objectives are often placed quite close together in a single area of the map, but even if they’re more spread out an onscreen marker will lead you directly to them. Mini Missions | The tasks are generally very easy, and the time limits Skatebird provides to collect stuff and build scores are fairly generous.I ended up choosing a scarf, some aviators, a skater beanie, and a skater’s belt. It’s a great way of making the character yours and making it unique to you. Customisations | When you first start with Skatebird, you are given the choice of choosing what type of bird you want to be and customising it with various clothes and accessories.It’s not the end of the world but can lead to some confusing payoffs. There were times where grind for example would be listed under the A button but then given the nature of my position is it on the ground or air, it may change to Y or B as A would then be given preference to air tricks. The execution of the tricks is simple enough in concept but can sometimes be tricky to pull off.

It’s a full cast of tricks to pull off and a neat score multiplier in the form of an egg yolk that stands out. We have Ollie’s, kickflips, grinding on rails, we have half-pipes, and more.

ℹ️ | We played Skatebird for Two Hours on Xbox Series S. Skatebird offers a refreshing take on the skateboarding genre, but does it offer enough to hold enthusiasts’ attention? Created and published by Glass Bottom Games with Plastic Fern Studios also as a developer, my initial impression was that this would be some sort of carbon copy of the aforementioned Tony Hawk games. Looking at Skatebird, I was interested to see what techniques it borrows from the much-beloved franchise whilst also offering fresh takes on the genre.
Being able to grind, Ollie, Kickflip and perform all sorts of tricks I could only dream of doing in real life was always a thrill for me as a kid.
