There\u2019s nothing to unlock, you aren\u2019t being scored, and, believe it or not, you don\u2019t kill anything (except maybe any stress you\u2019re carrying). Just mellow\u00a0out and enjoy the calming art direction and smooth animations. Hyperparadise describes The Ramp&#8217;s gameplay as easy to grasp but difficult to master, and the game\u00a0features four levels: a half-pipe, an empty pool, a skate bowl, and, per the title, a towering ramp.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/07\/16\/the-ramp-offers-a-minimalist-relaxing-approach-to-skateboard-games\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If The Ramp sounds like the perfect compliment to the more challenge-based skateboarding games you\u2019re playing, you can pick it up on Steam when it launches August 3 for $5.99.<\/p>\n<p>Skateboard enthusiasts have been treated to a recent smorgasbord of titles from the arcade stylings of the remasters of Tony Hawk 1 and 2, to the realism of tiles like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/preview\/2019\/08\/13\/dropping-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Session<\/a>, to the open-world approach of the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/hands-on-preview\/2021\/07\/05\/olliolli-world-feels-like-a-fresh-start-for-the-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OlliOlli World<\/a>, and several indie games like Skatebird and SkaterXL. The Ramp\u2019s minimalist approach helps it stand out from the pack. Assuming it plays well, I can personally get behind a game that\u2019s all about just skating around and doing tricks in short bursts without any pressure in terms of performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>What do you think of The Ramp?
