There’s been no shortage of skateboarding games on Switch of late, with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 making its way to Switch with a successful port last year, and the absolutely stellar OlliOlli World bringing a more arcade action style of skating to the platform just a few weeks ago. You can read much more about that in our OlliOlli World review.
But while those two offer frantic, high-score chasing thrills, skateboarding as a sport can also be about chilling out, simply spending a day in the sun, and enjoying the vibe that comes with it. This is where The Ramp comes in, offering a stripped-back experience, focused on nothing but the gameplay and the idea of just hanging out.
Honestly, the nearest point of reference I have for The Ramp is something like Townscaper, a digital toy meant for relaxing and a little more. The Ramp features a handful of levels to skate in, a paired back library of tricks, and nothing in the way of combos, high scores, achievements, or the like. But, as a game focused on relaxing vibes, this all works perfectly.
