Soon, it'll be leaving early access and coming to consoles as well, with a 1.0 launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S scheduled for June 17. During my hands-on time with the game, it was quickly apparent how much solo developer Michel Losch drew inspiration from the past.

One of its maps, The Shed, seems to intentionally invoke imagery of Tony Hawk's beloved warehouse level.
