Session: Skate Sim
Until the next Skate comes out, you may as well pick up the best possible skating simulator out there. Session is perhaps the most technical of all the skating games on offer, but it is alsothe most freeing. There’s no scoring, and there’s no real story there either. All you do is make your character, hop on your board, and cruise around real-life locales. The only goal is whatever you want out of that session. It’s beautiful and relaxing. Whenever I picked up skating as a teenager, I really just wanted to glide. Tricks and races were cool, but skating has always been about a vibe to me, and that’s what Session is built upon. You can chase that vibe down by picking up Session: Skate Sim for $12.
