Our take on Skate Rift
The low-HUD, first-person presentation favors immersion and environmental record displays, but gives up the immediate on-screen information found in more conventional sports games.
What is Skate Rift?
Skate Rift is a first-person skateboarding game focused on building speed, preserving traction, and carrying momentum through courses.
Players pump to accelerate, manage wheel friction, launch into large jumps, and perform tricks and grinds while roaming. Rifts connect areas and can create looping routes for lap-time attempts. The game uses little on-screen interface, with records represented in the environment and sometimes showing other players’ runs. Keyboard controls are available, while controller play is preferred. Courses can be explored alone or with friends through a global server.
