Even a few lines before missions would have helped here. And while there’s not much of a story, a lack of any sort of voice work means I lost interest in what people had to say very quickly. The music isn’t great either, with a distinct lack of skater-style tracks that might have alleviated the otherwise frustrating gameplay a little. You can’t even run them over, they just run away as soon as you stake towards them. I checked my settings and found that this is by default and you can actually add pedestrians to the game, but even then it doesn’t add much at all. The skate areas also felt completely empty. Every now and again I would go to do an ollie and it would happen that bit later than I’d want, causing me to crash into the wall. ![]() I also felt that there was too much lag in terms of my inputs having an effect on screen. I feel the tutorials could do with some work to make them far easier to understand, as it is there’s a lot of vagueness to the explanations. ![]() It’s sometimes not very clear what you actually need to do. ![]() When it takes you over an hour to finish one mission, you start to lose interest quickly. It would be nice if you had the option of simple mode or hard mode, but I found it got to the point where I was repeating the same mission over and over again and not getting any good results, which sapped any fun I might have otherwise been having. I feel Crea-ture have gone down the route of making it too hard, making it difficult to enjoy. I found Session to be unnecessarily difficult. It’s all very confusing, especially as someone who doesn’t skate in real life, which probably doesn’t help. Pull back with your back foot and you can do different tricks than you can do on the front foot. If you’re firmly standing on the board, pushing in a particular direction will be where you place the weight on each foot. Depending on your stance when you get on the board, one thumbstick represents the front foot, and the other the back foot. I’ll try to explain how the controls work. That shouldn’t be the way to play a game. At one point I had to look up a YouTube video just to see roughly how to pass a mission. They’re not up for repeating any guidance they hand out, so if you can’t nail the trick they just watch you fail, over and over again. They’ll only spare a few lines of unvoiced dialogue at the beginning and end of missions, mainly to give you a brief explanation of how to do a trick. The only characters are static NPC’s that wait to hand you a mission. You also have 3 areas you can visit, all open from the beginning and which you can reach by fast travelling. Missions will grant you the opportunity to unlock gear and cosmetics so you can change your character to have a more personalised look. You’re free to traverse (on your board or on foot) or fast travel to various different locations at will. Session is a skateboarding sim that is developed by Crea-ture Studios Inc and published by Nacon. However, I have to be truthful to myself and how I play, and unfortunately, I really did not enjoy my time with Session. This was a difficult review to write as I was very torn on Session. ![]()
