Neon Tail

The game is slowly getting better but there are 3 major problems that make it difficult to recommend - the acceleration on the slopes, optimization, and general lack of meaningful content. Some people also mentioned that controls are not good - that is not the full truth, I think the problem with controls is mostly coming from issues in the environment and not from skating mechanics that work fine when mastered. There are many parts in the city where you will have awkward platforming due to having multiple sticky zones in small proximity or invisible walls, making it nearly impossible to fully control the character. It’s not a problem in areas with more space, after playing 7+ hours I can execute platforming very consistently (it just has a learning curve). On that note, I would not recommend forcing new players to do tasks in small streets, or polish that level design so you not constantly hitting weird artefacts that you can’t see. Now the game feels kinda clunky at first because it prevents you from instantly stopping to show momentum, you have to make u-turns instead by spinning and using that momentum, which is kinda the main gimmick in the game, you are roller skating after all.

I may not have too much time in the game but I’ve been occasionally playing for about a year now. While the movement feels sluggish in the beginning and takes a bit to get used to, its a unique feel that rewards quick reactions and improvisation to continue the flow of grinds and tricks. And the new September update greatly improved the game including a mini map with icons and the ability to travel to certain points on the map by bus, a new take on the upgrade system that is more straight forward and removes the need to choose between better stats or fun abilities, and a revamp of the current story and missions that greatly improve the new player experience. While still a work in progress game, it has quite a bit offer to those looking for a inline skating game that scratches the “you know what” itch.
