Can't sleep? Moon too bright? Want to eat it? It's a simple goal for a demon in the underworld, as you'll find in this gorgeous, extraordinary narrative adventure that just so happens to require skateboarding.

Skate Story is a cool and artistic marvel with a flair of facinating and realistically frustrating gameplay.

Skate Story is a brilliant skateboarding game unlike any other. Tight skateboarding, heady narratives, gorgeous graphics, and a banger soundtrack make it one of this year's best experiences.

Ambitiously creative, Skate Story delivers an offbeat and artistically memorable narrative adventure with some excellent technical skating sequences. It’s not without some issues, but its strengths and individuality make it well worth a look.

From beginning to end, Skate Story is a fantastic experience. The great narrative premise, a charming list of characters, beautiful visuals, a brilliant soundtrack, and addictive gameplay strike the right balance between style and substance.

You wouldn't think a glass being on a quest to eat the moon and finally sleep could be so relatable, but you'd be wrong. Topped off by some fantastic skateboarding and an incredible soundtrack, Skate Story shouldn't be missed.

Fusing a solid foundation of satisfyingly grounded skate tricks with a bizarre, abstract world, Skate Story wobbles a little under its weirdness but there’s no doubt it’s one of the most distinctive skateboarding games of the decade.

Skate Story | Review | Samn Eng returns with a whimsical skateboarding action adventure, published by Devolver Digital.

Dec 15, 2025

One thing I love about Devolver Digital’s curation is that they are always able to procure, support and release games that no one else would have ever given a chance otherwise. It doesn’t matter if it’s an actual marijuana dealing simulator, some ultra psychedelic crap revolving around graffiti, or a re-release of a so-bad-it’s-good FromSoftware cult classic from the 2000s, they almost always come up with something unique to offer to their fanbase. This time around, however, they came...

Yet despite these limitations, the experience held together well for me. Skate Story remains a strange, delicate skate fable that rewards those willing to flow with its lines—offering something resonant for dedicated skaters and for players simply looking to immerse themselves in an unconventional, self-contained vision.
