We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR players who want to practice and combine skateboarding tricks
- Skateboarding fans who want to pursue high scores through runs and combos
- Players who enjoy earning medals, trophies and XP while skating
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want to skate without mastering hand-controlled trick inputs may hit a wall when building lines and combos.
- Those seeking activities beyond skate runs may find the focus on tricks, high scores and skate environments narrow.
- Players looking for a non-VR skateboarding game will not find that format here.
Our take on VR Skater
The likely sticking point is the hand-controlled trick system: progressing from guided flip tricks, grabs, grinds, slides and manuals to combining them in runs requires performing corresponding movements. Players seeking immediate, low-input skating may bounce off when they begin assembling lines and combos.
What is VR Skater?
VR Skater is a virtual reality skateboarding game controlled through hand movements.
Guided progression covers flip tricks, grabs, grinds, slides and manuals. Players use these skills to create lines and combos during runs and pursue high scores. The game has 7 urban environments and a Mega Ramp featuring a chasm to cross. XP, medals, trophies and leaderboards track play. Earned XP can be exchanged in the shop for grip tape, trucks, wheels and board artwork.
