Session is the skating game I've always dreamed someone would make, where performing even a 'simple' trick is significant and challenging. There are no mile-long grinds or 900-degree kickflips here: just real skating in its rawest form. It doesn't just simulate the sport, but the art of skating too. You need to get creative, looking at the everyday clutter of a city and dreaming up ways to make something rad out of it. That's what street skating is all about, and why Session is the best virtual expression of the artform yet.
With the presence of multiple pro skaters including Daewon Song and Samarria Brevard, as well as a semi-open world with legendary skate spots like Black Hubbus and FDR Park, Sessions: Skate Sim is a well-written love letter to the sport. While some may feel underwhelmed by the lack of customization and find the controls too difficult to adjust to, players that have a love of skating and are itching to dive into a new skateboarding title will eventually feel right at home.

No other skating game or sim to date comes even close to mimicking the feeling of failure and success of skateboarding like a session does.
Session teaches you about the hardship of learning to skateboard and rewards you with the same euphoria you get in real life.
Hard to master but worth your time.

Skateboarding is difficult, and this simulation reflects that. If you want for the days of pressing X and up on the d pad to do a 900 Christ Air then go do that.

Despite the 1.0 release, Session: Skate Sim still has a few issues. However, this shouldn’t keep any skating fan away from this deeply rewarding simulator that can, at times, feel just as rewarding as the real sport.
Session: Skate Sim is the ultimate skateboard simulator, but also a video game with several shortcomings.
If you are new to skateboarding, chances are Session: Skate Sim will frustrate you more than impress you, but if you live for the board, it will provide you with an unrivaled simulator worth playing.
With a steep learning curve and bland presentation, Session: Skate Sim ends up being a mixed package.
Session: Skate Sim is a skate simulation that was very clearly designed with skaters in mind. From the extremely involved control scheme to the perfectly captured recreation of skate culture, the game seems like it was never intended to be a gateway for non-skaters to get into the sport. But the bugs, difficulty, general lack of fun, and incomplete state of the game make it difficult to recommend Session to its target audience as well. Some gamers may be able to break through the learning curve and appreciate the thoroughness put into creating such an involved skate sim, but at the end of the day, it's simply not fun.
No other Skate Game feels as good as Session, since the controls offer you full control over the board.
It has some flaws and a couple of bugs but it also is a small dev team so a lot of it is forgiveable

I give it a 6. It is fun but still has bugs and no updates. Also I don't like the fact that they charge full price for what seems a beta version of the game. They released a DLC for which I thought would be free considering the base game feels kind of unfinished and lacking content.

Good-
Great physics-driven systems; plenty of moves and tricks to master; great gameplay customization.
Bad-
Lackluster story mode; bland visual presentation; steep learning curve.
Thoughts-
In conclusion, Session: Skate Sim is a hardcore simulation game which means it might not probably appeal to anyone not willing to spend dozens of hours in trying to understand the many nuances of this complex web of mechanics and physics. On the flip side, the bland visual presentation and the lackluster story campaign will put off even the most ardent fans of the genre.

The character customization is humorously lacking and basically unacceptable in 2022. The controls do not feel intuitive at all. I had high hopes, which just makes the drop-off even more pronounced. I couldn't be more disappointed in this game.

This was even worse than tony hawk last games! I think we should be able to request refunds more often!

Summary Inspired by the golden era of skateboarding, Session's primary goal is to make you experience what skateboarding really is; an incredible culture where there are no other goals other than expressing your creativity and achieving success through hard work, perseverance and bits of madness for no one else other than yourself.
