Then there are the customisation options for your character and board. Each of the five main areas has its own distinct colour palette to them which suits the ‘lore’ of that place. The visuals of the game are so spot-on that I couldn’t help be suckered into it. The most immediate thing you notice about OlliOlli World is the way it looks. Having looked around on the internet for anyone experiencing the same, it does seem to be an issue with my controller. That being said, my controller works fine in any other game I’ve used it on. I’m 99% sure it’s because of my controller and not an actual issue with the game. I, however, seemed to have an issue in where if I wanted to do tricks that needed me to point up or right I’d always do a ‘no comply’. Flicking the thumb-stick on your controller around in different directions, various circular motions, and what-not will keep you busy for hours. However, they’re mostly simply mapped to one thumb-stick. You can do grabs, grinds manuals, and more. All the way up to special tricks such as the Casper Flip, Sal Flip, and more. Simple tricks like ollies, kickflips, and heelflips. When it comes to tricks you’re not in short supply for what you can pull off. Or offering something for the more determined players to chase down. It gives the game a good balance of being a fun and chill skate game. That being said, you don’t have to if you don’t want to.Ĭompleting one or two objectives on a level comes pretty naturally, and you can easily move on to the next if you want to. Mastering your run is an oh-so-satisfying feeling. Whether they be getting a certain amount of points, performing specific tricks, or finding hidden ‘things’ on your route. That’s part of the fun.Įach level has a set number of objectives for you to complete.

The hard part is mastering the game, staying on your board for a whole run, and linking multiple tricks together. With simple controls that are super quick to pick up, you’ll be pulling off tricks and chaining them together in no time at all. The smoother your run the more fun you’ll have. Let’s be real, we’re not here for the story, are we? We want to skate! OlliOlli World is all about momentum, chaining together tricks, grinds, manuals, and all sorts. Once you get to skating you’ll mostly forget about the story and just enjoy the sublime fluidity to the game’s levels. It’s kind of bizarre really but in a good way. During your time in Radlandia you’ll be training to become a skate wizard. It’s a bit of fun that adds a little something extra to just skating around all the time. OlliOlli World introduces you to a cast of colourful characters in a tongue-in-cheek story that’s self-aware enough to not take itself too seriously. Yes, that’s right, there are skate gods all chillin’ in the land of Gnarvarna. The vibrant world of Radlandia is where your skating adventure will be taking place as you embark on a quest to discover the mystical skate gods.
