Tony Hawk's Shred-ow of the Colossus hits some high highs but some real lows, but remains definitely worth trying out.
Visually stunning, extremely satisfying traversal, but some menial systems in place that felt like they detracted from the overall experience in my opinion.

Primarily upgrades locked behind scavenger hunts of yo-yo difficulty and some relatively obtuse menu systems for tracking completion of side quests.
My biggest personal gripe was with the Withered Eye boss about halfway through the game, where the physics just didn't work - not only did I have to set the game to easy to get through the jank, it was so frustratingly beyond my control I almost put the game down.
I'm glad I persevered, since the final two areas were visually striking and the bosses were satisfying, and the ending stuck the landing for me. A tonne of style, only a touch less substance, and a few baffling decisions, but still very much worth a play.
