The game's stability has been criticized for being buggy and prone to crashes, particularly when switching skate parks, which detracts from the overall experience. While some players acknowledge that it is an early access title and expect bugs, others find the glitches frustrating, although a few appreciate them as part of the fun. Overall, the game shows potential but requires significant improvements in stability to enhance gameplay.
- “The game runs great from what I can see. I have an NVIDIA 3070 RTX and I'm running it at 2K 60 FPS, and it looks wonderful!”
- “Abandoned and too buggy to have a solid experience.”
- “This game is a good idea with a lot of fun features, although there are many glitches such as your character disappearing while you can still ride. I got this because I loved the mobile version and had never played a skateboarding controller game. It was hard to learn and 10 times the cost. Often, when switching skate parks, the game crashes, and I am on a high-end PC.”
- “Foot physics are broken, only 1 map, very limited customizability, too few rails, and overall pretty buggy.”

The lack of a story campaign and defined goals in the game limits its appeal, making it more suitable for hardcore streamers and stunt players rather than a broader audience.
- “Without a story campaign, defined goals, or regular 'best trick on x obstacle' contests, I see this mostly as something that hardcore streamers and stunt players will gravitate towards, but less for general consumption.”
- “The narrative feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters or care about the outcome.”
- “There are no meaningful choices or consequences in the story, which makes the entire experience feel flat and unengaging.”
