A challenge to find a hidden alien artifact might be hidden on one of these paths, and you’ll never know which until you take one and find out. OlliOlli World features branching paths, sometimes multiple in a level, that split areas into harder sections called “Gnarly Routes”. The score goals are pretty standard, the challenges however can get tricky and sometimes even require you to replay levels. Each level features two sets of goals to accomplish that reward cosmetics: a set of score goals to beat and in-level challenges. There are about a dozen levels in each zone, along with a handful of side quests you can discover if you find the right character in a level. It’s an easy system that allows you to jump in immediately and start having fun, but there’s enough depth for the diehards to master if you want to hit those highscores.Īs you play, you’ll move across the map of Radlandia that’s separated into five zones. You can perform grabs by flicking the right stick, spins are done with the triggers, and a variety of other tricks are performed with combinations of the left or right analog stick + one of the face buttons. It’s got a simple control scheme where a flick of the left stick in any direction will make you jump with a flip trick, while doing the same will also allow you to grind if you’re near a rail. Your character continuously moves forward so your focus is on keeping your speed up and performing the appropriate tricks for any incoming obstacles. If you’re unfamiliar with the previous games in the series, OlliOlli is a 2D skateboarding game. The intro level conversation you can thankfully skip, but you can’t with the closing one, and it just starts to become an annoyance as the dialog isn’t interesting and is just slowing you down from jumping into the next level to do what’s actually fun: skating. At the start it was charming, but you quickly realize they’re just repeating the same thing over and over in different ways across the game’s dozens of levels and it starts to wear thin. Each level opens and ends with your crew of riffraff friends spouting some dull exposition on why they love skateboarding. You play as a new skater who’s on a journey to prove themselves as the next great skater. The only issue I found with this was OlliOlli World’s new narrative focus. It’s as much fun skating in these worlds as it is seeing all the detail and full of life they seem as you zoom by. One zone will have you grinding past giant bumblebees, while another features sentient cacti. It’s absolutely gorgeous to look at, as each of the five worlds features a distinct look and cast of characters. MonsterVine was supplied with a PC code for reviewĪs I mentioned in my previous previews of the game ( here and here) the game features a drastic departure from its predecessors’ art styles into a more 3D pastel wonderland. After a sufficient break, Roll7 is ready to dust off their boards with OlliOlli World. It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly seven years since the release of OlliOlli 2, to me, the premier example of how to do a 2D skateboarding game.
