As a big walking simulator enjoyer, I was thrilled to try this classic. I found flOwer nice, and was in a pretty good mood to try Journey. But yeah, the game is overrated. This is kinda poetic, I guess, but the world, the exploration, the movements are average at best. This is not the worst I've played (Neo Brutalism of Tomorrow and Cloud Climbers were wayyyy worse) but it's just... meh.

If I were with another person, maybe my experience of the game would be better, but sadly I played the game alone.

I'm 21, and decided to try the old first two Tony Hawk games on the PS1, and these were amazing. But my skateboard addiction was not fulfilled. I tried this PSP port of Tony Hawk Underground 2, and I'm AMAZED. A shit ton of amazing levels, with old levels as bonuses, a trick editor, a big solo campaign with semi open-world objectives, alongside a classic old school campaign, an amazing soundtrack, funny animations, and a great customization value (my character is a suited gentleman skeleton with the gold chain of Flavor Flav). And you have to think about it : it was released in 2005, when the DS only appears, and you have AN OPEN WORLD SKATEBOARDING GAME with a SHIT TON OF CONTENT, that you can play in your toilets or during a road trip ? Yeah, this is easily one of the best skate game ever made.

But it have some issues :
- The maps are often composed of tiny corridors, with the shitty camera and the sometimes clunky physics, this can be really tedious at times.
- No more skatepark creator, I'm sad.
- A few glitches here and there.

But nothing to stop the fun !

Best name for a video game ever.
