The Best Skate Game Ever Made That No One Is Talking About 

You’ve put every single thought and feeling I have of this game into this video. Kept an eye on this game since its development, but forgot all about it as soon as XL dropped. Then the gameplay trailer dropped and I was intrigued. Bought the game, and was surprised the graphics held up to the trailer. Learning the controls was a pain but knowing how well the game could look if played well kept me going. Seeing the stats list for the first time stretched my grin a bit further. Once the controls came naturally and I could flow through a line down the street, this game became the greasiest skate game ever for me. Learning the clip editor and spending the time to figure out how to make realistic edits is the icing on the cake, and what gives the game so much more playability. You don’t just want to land your tricks/lines, you want it to look *real* I’ll see something and go “alright Im doing that.” I’ll spend anywhere from 5-45 mins to get that line or trick, but once I stick it, I’m only half way there. Gotta stick it 3 or 4 more times until you get a perfect line for a clip. Then you need 5 or 6 more clips for a decent vid/edit. I’ve been through most of the maps the game has to offer and know most of the layout, but so much of the map is new to my skill set. The better you get at the game, the more places/objects you notice are skateable/worth trying. So many times I’ll roll up to a spot and go “oh shit, I remember this place from my first day learning controls, but this time, I’m ready.” Side note, I put XL on the other day just for old times sake, made it maybe 5 mins before I turned it off and made some room on my hard drive You also earned a sub, this content is great man. Your editing is great, you’re hilarious, and above all you clearly put effort into your vids and it really shows. Have no doubt you’ll blow up soon

After playing this game for over 4 hours at once it’s now my entire personality

One of my favorite things about Session is that pulling off Switch tricks is actually challenging like it should be. Seamlessly pulling off a Switch trick to keep a line going is such an insanely rewarding feeling in this game.

Session helped me become a better skater. I changed many of the settings to make things slower, low to the ground, and as close to my current skill level as possible. When I go from skating irl to hopping on Session (and vise versa) it feels like the skate sesh never ended. I’ve learned how to time out my pops and flicks better by how I do it in Session.

"I spent over two hours trying to pressure flip this rock and half-cab out" Ahhh... Daewon's Rock Ride mission... The bane of all manual catch skaters in Session. 😂

As a fellow 13-year-old skateboarding retiree, this game speaks to me like no other skateboarding game. EA's skate brought the satisfaction of doing lines and such but here I had to start from zero and the satisfaction of nailing my first grind without breaking my real bones probably felt pretty close to what a real skateboarder might feel.

“You go to grind a rail then you end up back flipping a telephone pole” I have never heard a more fitting explanation for Tony Hawks pro skater in my life😂😂

You're mad underrated man, had a blast watching this. Session is really special, it gives an authentic feel and is nicely adjustable to comfort your style and approach. You never stop learning.

Youre going to make it big one day bro, never watched you before but your personality and editing style is perfect for quality content, please keep at it 👍

i’ve been saying this game is slept on for a while, i never got into the skate games before session so i picked up the controls pretty quick and fell in love, as far as controls and gameplay feel it’s really great

Session has a fantastic community that has the patience to help out anyone willing to learn. It's not easy. But that's the point. Sick breakdown of the game and your experience. Keep it comin homie.

I don't comment on videos usually and I wasn't even looking for skating videos I was actually trying to be productive lol, but then I clicked this video out of boredom and it actually made me laugh. CasualGuy's way of speaking, setting up jokes, and sense of humor is so funny to me it earned a sub.

Nakey Jakey inspired content and I love it, if nakey not dropping then we got you 🔥 can’t complain keep up the good work 🔥🔥🔥

Sessions controls one thing that gravitates me to it. Having that difficulty to where you actually are trying to get the trick right down big things like el Toro. All the flicks to get a clean trick and have enough speed. 😍

Nice video mate. Immediately noticed some similarities to NakeyJakey's editing style (and the outro gave it away), but I dig it. You bring your own humor into it and I absolutely feel the same about Session. A very great game/street skateboarding sim that actually made me get into skating for real.

I've had session since day one early access and DMAN what a ways it's come. Glad to see this game finally getting the attention it deserves. It's so fun, intuitive, and unique.

my god, my guy ur video quality, the editing , the humor and ur personnality make this video majestic i'm subscribing

As someone who was huge into the Skate 1 and 2 scenes making videos on SkateFluckit forums, I can hear the excitement I had for those games in your voice when you talk about Session. Not going to lie, you made me make a purchase.

Yesssss, bro, love that TOMMY HANKS edit at the end! Jakey is an S-Tier creator and producer!

The amount of times I've tripped over curbs in this game is more than I've tripped over irl

I had heard about Session sometime before its release but then it kind of went dark on my radar. I remembered it a couple of months ago and put it on the Steam wishlist, then got it in the recent sale. Installed it two days ago and can't put it down. 10hrs in and I'm only just starting to feel like I'm properly grasping the controls, having lots of fun along the way. It just looks so stylish and comparitively realistic to other skate games. Challenging and rewarding. Great video btw.

As an actual skater who played a lot of Tony Hawk and Session damn this video is fucking accurate I literally used the replays and slow mo of the game to learn some harder tricks like Backside Heelflips and Bigspins I love that I saw the evolution from late 2020 and the start of playable session until today and 1.0 and I love the direction the game is going on The gameplay is so good that mods are almost exclusively aesthetic like clothing or new boards from real life/fan creations or new places to skate Play that game guys it’s worth it and cheaper than skater XL

I haven’t played Session but I admire the ambition that they’ve put into the game. I love the idea that you have to learn to skate like irl.

Dude, I absolutely love the style of this video with the random cuts and edits and different backgrounds while sitting there talking into your mic actually being informative. I can't think of what your style and creativity reminds me of but I love it! Keep up the hard work and I promise the subscribers will start pouring in. 👊🤘

"Well this is what 20 hours of Session looks like" *Dude fucking eats it on a rail* That preview clip was the whole reason I clicked lol

I am the same way. Always wanted to skateboard, never could handle the slams. Spent countless hours playing Skate 3 and listening to audiobooks back in the day. Really wanted something to scratch that itch and I’m glad I grabbed Session instead of Skater XL. Already have over a 100 hours on it and it’s my comfort game. Got a ton of games on my Steam Deck but I always gravitate to booting up Session and cruising around hitting random spots until something grabs my attention and I drop my marker and practice that line over and over.

My son just turned 6 years old in July and today he got his first loose tooth. 3 years ago I pirated a copy of Skater XL. This was the first game the little guy ever played. He played it for a couple years and enjoyed it. A few nights ago I drank a few beers and I thouight man you remember how I pirated that game and the lil guy loved it? Man I should suppor them and buy it. Surely by now they have added a ton! Paid for the game and its about the same as it was YEARS ago! My little dude it hype but he doesn't even know next weekend he's about to take it to the next level with Session because I'm on to the next one! Thanks for the video!

Ngl , sessions sucks at first because it’s a bit complicated to learn but once you can figure it out , makes it feel so good to land a kick flip back tail pop shuv out , feels incredible

Thank you for this video, the first few hours of session are so rough and I wasn’t sure if I should go back 😭 but now I def will

Session is slept on

jakey outro cought me off guard, this is the first video of yours i watched and throughout it i thought "this reminds me of jakey in the best way possible"

I feel like this man should sit on a silver yoga ball. Also Session is dope and well worth a buy for any skateboarding/video game enthusiast.

I have played something like 300 hs of Session and I love seeing new people finding the beauty of it. Cheers.

The quality and editing of this video is pristine

I've been champion Session this whole time while people were swearing by skater XL. Good to see that others are FINALLY experiencing what I've been saying. It's fucking badass and closest to real life skating. Got into so many arguments on FB cause people don't like to hear they hate on a game cause they suck at the game. Just practice and it gets better. Trust the plus

closing the video with a nakeyjakey song is such a colossal W i have no choice but to subscribe

The "dark souls of skateboarding games" line earned you a like and a sub. Had me in stitches.

Great video dude. Clearly inspired by NakeyJakey, but not saying it as a bad thing, your comedic style works well for it. Look forward to seeing what else you make bro

8:25 You said you retired because you didn’t want to get hurt. I felt that! I loved skating, but the thought of getting hurt over time faded my love for skating away.

Amazing video and great production quality. We need more eyes on Session. Greatest skating game ever!

Ahhhhhhh that twinky boy is back with a cracker, most good. Tell the wee man he's getting a skateboard off uncle Feudal.

Just discovered you, probably because I finally bought this game and 1. Subscribed, love it 2. Yah I've been playing for 4 hours so far, and I'm still trying to learn how to manual. I think it's like the 3rd mission. And even though I've lost more skin than I have landed tricks, I'm definitely having more fun than I ever have in a skating game.

The replay editor is also incredible in this game, and also hard to learn but deeply satisfying when you get it, in session fashion!

It blows my mind that this channel only has 6k subs… he should have 600k

I'm glad people who haven't heard of it yet get to now. I've been playing since early access 2019 and been the only game I've played since sep 22 when it full released. But honestly it replaced skater XL like year ago. I play skater XL every two months

Been playing session since launch with over 1000 hours in, it's my favorite game

I felt that hat agruement my man.

this video is legit of the quality of a youtuber with millions man you're gonna go far 10/10 vid

just came up for the first time ever on my for you page i’ve never felt more joy in my life

I knew this guy reminded me of Jakey, then the outro played and I knew I was right 😂

I’ve played Skater XL on console consistently since it came out and it never really got better than it’s buggy launch. Sure getting the “mod” browser was cool, but even that dried up after about a month. I finally got to play Session once it arrived for PS5 and it’s honestly my favorite skate game since Skate 2.

Found your channel through this video popping up. Now dying laughing at your other ones. You’re a cross between a RU-vidr and a stand up comedian. Genius.

Session is stunning. Took literally like 24 hours to understand the controls. Totally worth it. I am never finna skateboard in my life again.

Nobody is going to mention that wearing down the analog sticks to learn a trick is pretty much what happens to your shoes? Loved the "dark souls" reference and the haircut joke too.

Session is darn close to being the skateboarding sim I imagined not long after THPS 2 first inspired me to step on a board for real. There are obvious and large omissions; no freestyle and no vert; but it does what it does very well. It’s 100 percent a game of skill, which is a rare thing in the days of grinding hours and hours for unlocks and loot. It’s just you, your board, and the city. I love that you can completely ignore the story and challenges, because honestly that is the weakest part of the game. But just rolling around the city, discovering new spots and trying new tricks on them is something I can do for hours and hours.

Damn this is a real fun video style dude. Great work here.

Hey, king... You dropped this 👑 Loved the video. Had no idea this game even existed. Your editing style is fucking fantastic and the comedic timings are on point. Never stop cause these vids get me through xD Interested to see how big of a mistake Skate (why can't they just call it 4???) will be lol

Session has come so far I remember seeing RU-vidrs do really early access and then it not being talked about for ages to then early this year it starting to pop up again so naturally I bought the early access and it was the best decision ever this game has brought me so much joy I will forever recommend this game to anyone

this is dope!!

I enjoy skater xl more because it’s harder to make look good, but when it does look good it looks amazingly good.

I’m 30 and grew up playing TH games and when I got Underground 2 I spent so much time in that game just racking up points and doing crazy stuff. When I got bored with all that I spent time trying to simulate real skating. Like just rolling up to a rail and doing a flip in flip out kinda thing like in the actual skate videos, to feel like a real skater in a game. I think it’s kinda like people playing GTA and attempting to drive lawfully lmao. Then I played Skate and that kinda got to that point. Long story short it’s cool that devs are trying to create actual realistic experiences to put people in the shoes of real skaters.

So addictive. All it needs is online right now.

I waited for session to come out ever since I played it on the free trial. It’s definitely worth playing, I’ve completed the story and I can confirm that listening to music and just chilling, finding different spots is so stress-relieving. Also, the feeling of landing a pretty challenging trick is so rewarding!

i absolutely hated Session the first few times i played it. i was deep in the skater XL rabbit hole at the time, and i still prefer modded SXL to session mostly because modded SXL still feels smoother and controls better, but Session has come unbelievably far since it first launched in early access. and due to the fact that the SXL devs seem to have abandoned it, i'll probably be moving on over to session full time. i just hope someone makes a mod for session that changes its switch/fakie controls to match SXL's controls. also i really hate session's manny reverts. like a lot. it makes no sense at all. if i'm doing a manual and i revert, i'm not suddenly putting my weight on my other foot, so why do i have to start using my other stick to nose manny after a revert? its the same foot i'm balancing on, why do the sticks have to change? its just bizarre. same with switch/fakie. the controls for SXL make way more sense in this regard. if i ride regular, but am currently rolling goofy and i pull down on the right thumbstick to set up a trick, it makes more sense for that to be a fakie ollie than a switch ollie if pulling down on the right stick is supposed to be me setting up my right foot. but in session, that is a switch ollie. a fakie kickflip in SXL controls is a switch heelflip in Session. i don't like it at all. its just a really weird quirk of session's controls that deeply irritates me. it could be that maybe i just prefer SXL's controls because that's how i learned left stick right stick skate game controls so its hard for me to unlearn that to get good at session, but i also just think its far more intuitive and accurate to do it the way SXL does. i will say however that session's replay editor blows SXL's out of the water. its incredible to me that easy day hasn't bothered to update the replay editor at all since it was added, and it getting added was literally just the devs integrating SXL's most popular mod at the time into the base game. easy day is an absolutely idiotically run company. all this said, i'm extremely disabled and have always had a deep love for skateboarding ever since i was like 8 and i played the first tony hawk game but could never actually skate myself, so the fact that i now have two very good skateboarding simulators is like a dream come true for me.

genuinely had me laughing within the first minute. Subbed, high-quality content I was not expecting lmao. Good stuff

loved this vid! getting some serious jakey vibes but in the best way possible 🙏 taking a similar style but putting your own twis on it

I just tried to like this video twice, meaning I love it and I’m baked af

As a 3D artist I can tell you that if you just put a hat over the geometry of hair (which is usually one sided planes with decals) you get weird clipping of the hair trough the hat. Other way that looks much nicer is to model the hairstyle by hand with the hat, which means, every single hat, with every single hairstyle must be recreated to fit. Since the game doens't even have a story, and even tho it looks good, pretty basic enviorment modeling, I am sure they didn't want to spend their resources there :) -To add, I LOVE SESSION, it is all you said, a perfect realistic skateboarding simulator thats insanely rewarding when you learn, it flows, it slaps, it tre flips, u create ur own spotify skate rap playlist and you are GOOD! (pharcyde, blackstarr, and thps soundtracks to give idea). Cinematic editor is crazy also. The only downside and its really a big one is, NO MULTIPLAYER.... I ended up playing a lot of Riders Republic with my friend, just because we couldn't shred together in Session, they need to add that!

I can literally bs flip and fs flip all day in this game and be completely content lol.

Great video! The audio is a bit quiet or very loud at some points, i really appreciate you talking about this game anyhow ;)

you popped up on my front page and funnily enough i only grabbed this last night. watching your video has put every thought i've had playing it. great video man, you've earned a sub :)

OMG that line of: I played it for half an hour refunded it because I'd have an easier time backside flipping El' Toro. Hahaha I relate so much to that!

Yep, it's the sort of game that, normally, I'd have rage quit, uninstalled, and refunded within half an hour. I have no patience (Thanks ADHD!) but something about this one - maybe because I used to skate when I was younger. You nailed it when you said the feeling when you finally land that trick you've been tyrying to land for hours. It's ludicrously real, and takes me right back to trying to grind curbs in tescos car park, or cruising around looking for spots. This game is my whole personality now, and at my age that makes me the living embodiment of that Steve Buscemi meme

Totally agree with all the sentiment - the "when it clicks" feeling is what makes skating in real life so satisfying. I did debate whether to turn on the manual catch setting, but honestly, I don't think it's something anyone actually actively does in real life - the catch comes, for me at least, because I've popped and flicked the kickflip or whatever correctly. So for that reason I left it off. Definitely for realism and not because I don't want to make the game any harder, hah!

I haven't laughed so hard. Great video

Purchased this in early access on steam. Tried it. Binned it. Tried it again just NOW. I love it.

I feel like I'm gonna stick to Skate solely because I am way too busy to spend hours learning to skate on a virtual board, I play games to relax, if i wanted to learn to skateboard I'd, oh I dunno, learn to skateboard

Wow man, the devs for this game owe you some money. This is the best infomercial I've seen since The Miracle Blade II.

Mate love your style, keep making vids

I also tried this when it first launched and didn't like it at all. Now you've convinced me to give it another go, great vid!

Yo your crack up! As in funny as fook! Also I thought session was tttrash but you've convinced me that I'm the one who's rubbish not the game. So thanks for that.

I’m so glad I found your RU-vid account. This is the best edited and funniest video I’ve watched. So stoked that you skate & your video style is something I’m so jealous of… wish I could pay you to edit my videos 😂

I wasn't sure about this game but after watching this I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I too gave up Skateboarding when I was 13 but not because of the possibility of pain but because of girls...and alcohol...and pot...and because I wasn't very good. I loved Skate 2 and 3 was pretty good but I always wanted a game that gave me that euphoric feeling of trying over and over and over again to land a kickflip and finally nailing it or pulling off a grind that last longer than a foot and not breaking an ankle or being able to ride a half pipe...at all...I sucked at vert. So yeah this game looks like it might give me those moments along with a lot of frustration almost like real skateboarding. Great video.

It always makes me happy to see a small channel with a lot of potential. This is one of them. In another way it makes me sad because I feel like this channel doesn’t have any of the views it deserves.

been waiting for this game to get more praise. It’s such a great game and anyone who skates in irl or use to will love it without a doubt.

I thought I was crazy for spending an hour on that damn pressure flip mission..

Pressure flipping on the rock was a nightmare 😂

I wish they had more realistic falling physics like the skate games tho

the pressure flip on the rock to half cab out mission SUCKEDDDD 😭😭😭

I just fuckin love yah commentary gangy.mutcho love cuhz

underated your gonna be big one day just wait for the day to come ma boi

Glad this ended up getting in my recommended, didn't even know about this game and your video style is really good! Got a sub and I'll be looking into buying Session at one point or another

This savage but so funny I couldn't stop laughing

Well i just want to see some in game creation kits. Honestly glad i stayed you remind me of jude from.across the universe and good to see that session looks fun!

ahahaha the roast on greys anatomys story line gained you a sub 😂😂😂😂

Watching your video I was like this guy definitely a Jakey fan, then the Tommy Hanks Outro confirmed it lol great video, Subbed

i randomly bought this game and your video is so accurate and i absolutely agree and i love this game man, i personally dont shred that much but i used to skate too but its not popular in my country. But this game makes me feel like I'm really skating digitally and close to reality if that makes sense lmao. Its not an easy game but when it clicks it clicks, and fun to play while getting high af and vibin to the ingame raggae music. Thats the Shit!

Damn I can't believe you only have 5k subs. You're a natural! Look forward to more videos :)

That Shecks reference made me giggle

The editing and flow of this was just a pleasure to watch. Definitely subbed
