    The graphics of the game are widely praised for being realistic, detailed, and among the best for mobile skateboarding games, with smooth animations and great visual effects. However, some users note occasional glitches, frame drops, and that certain graphic elements like billboards and decks can appear childish or cluttered. A recurring criticism is the paywall system for unlocking maps rather than having more free content, which affects the overall experience despite the strong graphical quality.

    • “It is amazing and exquisite, it's a game I can play all day and plus when I'm working, when I want to take a break I can just play this game. Graphics are amazing. Whoever made this game, I pay you all the money I have, she's over $2,000. I love this game, make more of these please, awesome.”
    • “Touch Grind Skate 2 is a wonderful game and the second best game ever for me. I like this game but my friends think it is a rip-off because you have to install the game after you have installed it on the Play Store. This is a nice game because the graphics are so realistic and there are numerous tricks which some of them are so cool. Thank you.”
    • “I love this, it's the best skateboarding game and the graphics are the best. Keep up the good work Illusion Labs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
    • “You can't use landscape mode on phones anymore, the graphics look worse, and there are billboards everywhere showing ads!”
    • “Suddenly I'm getting ads in the full paid version and frame drops even with graphic settings set on low.”
    • “The game crashes every five seconds and the graphics are trash.”
  • monetization

    152 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    37% positive mentions, 11% neutral mentions, 52% negative mentions

    Players largely appreciate the game for its lack of ads, providing a smooth and uninterrupted experience, but many criticize the heavy reliance on expensive in-app purchases to unlock additional maps and content. Some feel the pricing is excessive and that the game could benefit from either more free content or integrating ads as an alternative revenue model. Overall, while the absence of ads is praised, the monetization through paywalls is seen as a drawback and a cash grab by some users.

    • “People complain about the price but there's no microtransactions; you pay for what you get, a fair price.”
    • “This game is beyond awesome, totally worth the in-app purchases because, unlike True Skate™, it doesn't constantly bombard you with purchases. It just offers two or three packages worth the full experience. The game has really good potential, with hauntingly accurate physics. The developers did an amazing job, keep it up!”
    • “No ads, smooth to play.”
    • “This game is the ultimate cash grab.”
    • “Suddenly I'm getting ads in the full paid version and frame drops even with graphic settings set on low.”
    • “Bought an in-app purchase for 8 pounds and all of a sudden the payment reset and I can't use what I bought anymore.”

    The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness, satisfying mechanics, and realistic skateboarding controls, though many users find the trick execution sometimes finicky or difficult. A common criticism is the heavy reliance on microtransactions to access additional maps and content, which limits progression and variety in free play. Technical issues like glitches, inconsistent controls, and occasional lag also negatively impact the overall experience for some players.

    • “The gameplay is super tight, and feels great and satisfying.”
    • “Very smooth gameplay, it is a simple game, but at the same time there is a somewhat deeper complexity when playing it with more and more experience.”
    • “Smooth gameplay, easy to use controls, and of course, fun.”
    • “Don't get this game, it's a waste of your time. The mechanics make no sense and the controls are kinda bad too. You can be under a bench 3 inches below and somehow teleport to it above you, but when you're literally on top of the bench ready to 50-50, you somehow lose your line and don't end up on the bench.”
    • “The mechanics aren't natural, everything is buggy.”
    • “Terrible mechanics that don't even work half the time.”
  • stability

    The game experiences frequent and varied glitches, including issues with controls, hitboxes, and challenge recognition, which can disrupt gameplay and cause frustration. While some players find these bugs amusing or minor, many report crashes, freezing, and inconsistent mechanics that hinder overall stability. Despite its fun and engaging core, the game requires significant bug fixes to improve reliability and user experience.

    • “Best app ever, runs great and super fun.”
    • “Best game I have ever played, no glitches or issues.”
    • “It's really good, no glitches.”
    • “And then there's just a lot of glitches: getting stuck in/on rails, game not recognizing challenges, your board sticking to random walls, getting flung across the map.”
    • “But the thing is that after some time the board glitches out not going forward or when I land a trick it does not count or the board launches in the air from touching a rail.”
    • “I do have 1 problem but it's not an in-game issue. I bought the set for $9 and got the 4 maps but I can't get the challenges done and no one posts tutorials on YouTube on how to do them. I had to watch a real skater to see how the trick was performed and sometimes when you go into a map the game just freezes and closes on multiple occasions.”
  • story

    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    10% positive mentions, 77% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    Players appreciate the game's fun skating mechanics but find the story aspect lacking due to limited missions, only one playable map, and glitches with mission progress. Many suggest adding more maps, challenging quests, a story or campaign mode, and better tutorials to enhance engagement and progression without paywalls. Overall, the story feels incomplete and repetitive, leading to boredom once the current missions are finished.

    • “Please add some new modes like campaign and story, career.”
    • “If they made it so that you had to complete hard quests to get other maps, then I think this game would skyrocket.”
    • “The developers should make a part in the game where you can do a kind of story mode to unlock areas.”
    • “I think it's good the only complaint I have is why when you finish all the missions you can't get the next area.”
    • “The fact that you only have 1 map to play on is just boring, at least make a map unlockable, like you have to do a quest to unlock it.”
    • “It's a good game but 3 things: 1st it gets boring after a while; 2nd the missions make no sense where is the spine in motel; 3rd whenever I play and do tricks and land it says I biff it even though I didn't crash.”

    Users have mixed feelings about the music in the game, noting the absence or lack of engaging tracks during gameplay as a downside.

Overall, improving the in-game music would make the game more enjoyable and immersive.

    • “I like the graphics, the music, the controls, and maps/mods.”
    • “It is a cool game and you can play online with friends and offline. It's fun to explore the map and you can do a good amount of tricks with just two fingers. They just need to include better songs to choose from.”
    • “Love the game but needs a better soundtrack ”
    • “The only thing that didn't get better through time is the lack of tricks and the fact that there is no music.”
    • “There are two things which I think could improve the game; disable auto-kick option and add 'manual' trick, also some music during gameplay would be better.”
    • “It is a cool game and you can play online with friends and offline and it is cool to explore the map and you can do a good amount of tricks with just two fingers; they just need to put better songs of choice.”
  • grinding

    9% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 91% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is often criticized for being difficult and sometimes frustrating due to awkward controls, bugs causing unintended falls, and problematic level design that complicates landing and maintaining combos. While some players find it enjoyable, others struggle with executing basic grinding moves, leading to a mixed overall experience.

    • “Grinding on second story railing is more difficult because your board is attracted to the ramps under the floor.”
    • “The mega ramp seems like it should be good but it's also too cluttered along its width; it's very difficult to find a place to land and getting back to the top is tedious.”
    • “I give it a 3 star because I can't do combos after grinding rails.”
  • emotional

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability comparable to top-tier titles, with engaging gameplay that encourages repeated play. However, the limited number of accessible maps and the requirement to purchase additional levels can restrict the experience for some players. Overall, it remains a fun and time-consuming game with good replay value.

    • “Definitely has the replay value of a triple-A game, like Skate 3, but let your fingers do the talking.”
    • “One of the better games, but I wish more maps were playable except just one, although it's a great game for time-consuming fun.”
    • “It's a really fun game and has lots of replay value.”
    • “Unplayable: only loads a menu screen to purchase levels, none of which are playable without paying.”
  • optimization

    The game's optimization is mixed; while it generally runs smoothly when ads are watched instead of paid unlocks, some users report poor performance and request refunds due to technical issues.
