I have 18 hours in this and have beaten the main campaign. Would’ve beaten it faster if this game didn’t have time gated progression….
This game should be played as a chill, free skate simulator and nothing more 

 I truly would not bother with the missions and challenges outside of unlocking fast travel points
I’m not gonna go into detail cuz I already ranted to a friend, but this games single player mood/progression system is woefully uninteresting to play through and essentially makes you grind for garbage 90% of the time while you hope for a chance at the paltry number of things you actually want to get. 70% of these rewards is basic clothing with random colors and random likely AI generated clip art for your board and profile pic
 I’m not even counting the embarrassingly out of touch writing and character dialog. This has to be the lead director for this game
	
	
	
		
		
		
			
		
		
	
	
Very last (and by far the longest) mission of the game is to Assassins Creed climb the tallest skyscraper in the game for 15 minutes while you realize how finicky the climbing is when you have awkward corners and too many cling points in a single space. All while you listen to Izzy tell you the lamest concluding message and character origin story you’ve ever heard.
The ONE item I wanted in a loot box still eludes me and it’s gonna take another 16 maxed out challenges to get enough coins for a CHANCE at the one thing that I want. I played for a couple hours today and all those coins I earned today got me a fukking teal sports bra 

 I refuse to grind this game or spend any in game currency anymore until major changes are made. Everything outside of the actual skateboarding and map is ass
