    As a veteran player of these games and real life skateboarder it’s easy to appreciate what these games do. While they seem like simplified Tony Hawk games, there’s a lot more depth in the grinds and flips with a surprising amount of accuracy. That being said, OlliOlli World improves on the blueprint laid out in previous entries in almost every way. The animation is impressively overhauled, the level design is intricate while evolving, and the gameplay is as smooth as butter with even more ways to flow. There’s something to be said about iterative evolution but this is on another level of progression that makes the older games harder to go back to. Trust me, I tried and it was a grind.

    OlliOlli World takes Roll7's refined 2D skateboarding concept to cosmic heights. Tight and challenging gameplay, a high skill ceiling, dozens of hours of content, and a remarkably stylish sense of presentation combine to make this a release you absolutely don’t want to miss. It's an easy recommendation to pretty much any Switch owner, especially those who are easily roped in by score-chasing releases or super hard platforming, OlliOlli World is a shining example of the distinct kind of innovation and quality that can come from inspired indie game studios.

    OlliOlli World is one of the finest skateboarding games around. The gameplay is fun, intuitive and simple enough for newcomers to enjoy while having complex layers that will have skate veterans everywhere grinding to master.

    It’s early days of course, but OlliOlli World ranks amongst my favourite games of the year so far. Its sleek, satisfying gameplay coupled with luscious graphics and sounds both pristine and punchy make it a must-buy for fans of the skating genre. But beyond that audience, it’s also highly recommended for anyone who loves finding a sense of flow, of rhythm, in their lives. Deep breath then, in through the nose, out through the mouth… And then drop down that ramp into the wildest, weirdest, and friendliest sports game you’ll play in 2022.

    OlliOlli World delivers a fantastically fun and motivating experience based on skateboarding in a 2D environment, fully in line with its predecessors. Joining an excellent level design and magnificent artwork and soundtrack, OlliOlli World pushes players to perform in a creative and daring way through its skillfully designed levels and the result is a game that fits perfectly, whether on a television screen or on the Nintendo Switch screen.

    OlliOlli World is a finishing touch for the saga. In addition to having excellent gameplay, a large number of levels and good mechanics, it knows how to make it more accessible for newer players. It doesn't lose the level of challenge.

    At the heart of all this, though, OlliOlli World is classic OlliOlli. It’s part combo-centric skating game, part momentum-driven platformer, part arcade-style score chaser that rewards mastery and experimentation. All these pieces come together wonderfully, and those moments when you’re grinding along a tree branch or the spine of some monstrous skeleton in the desert, clinging to your perfect combo and praying you nail the landing, are pure adrenaline. New tricks, new gimmicks, and an intriguing new setting add a lot to an already strong core, and there’s more room for expression and a lower skill floor, but OlliOlli World is still the absolute rush OlliOlli has always been.

    Incredibly fun and cute. It’s easy to learn, hard to master and rewards you for persistence. It also allows you to play at your own paceIncredibly fun and cute. It’s easy to learn, hard to master and rewards you for persistence. It also allows you to play at your own pace whether that be completing all the optional challenges or just focusing on levels. Insane level of customization for your character, cartoonish and well done art style, plus a very stable frame rate on my older pc. Highly recommend.… Expand

    What a fantastic game! It is really lovely. I liked the previous ones, but this one has just so much style! I love the gameplay. TheWhat a fantastic game! It is really lovely. I liked the previous ones, but this one has just so much style! I love the gameplay. The checkpoints, and the freedom to chase "challenges" for each track adds a lot. The game is as easy as you want and as hard as you want it to be, assuming there are no talent-locks in the following chapters. I always try to get all challenges and have managed to do so in almost all tracks I played so far. The customization is great, the characterization really allows fun combinations. I'm not even at the second island yet but I really love this and can confidently say it is a great game. (A minor drawback is the "dialogue" with the skater gang, although it is fairly irrelevant to the overall experience.) Will update this review when I complete it. Oh, and it runs great on the Switch, no issues at all, both in handheld and docked.… Expand

The soundtrack slaps, the graphics are cute and the gameplay is great at first. You are able to do nice combos and satisfing tricks because there is an impact to everything. Feels really good. The story is stupid and i stopped reading everything because it doesn't matter. After you reach the point where you "learn" the manuals it becomes a hot mess gameplay wise. The controls seem interesting at first because you think to yourself "it's a 2.5D scroller, it's gonna be a simplified control sceme." But that's wrong. The controls become so cumbersome to a point where it is more complicated than THPS but you still have no control over your speed or the direction you're going. It scrolls fast or very fast and often you just can't see whats happening in front of you. Making things worse is the leveldesign in the later courses. Of course you have to do a lot of stuff in very short time but because you have little control over your movement they tried to fix this fact by giving random properties to the ramps and rails and that results in spots where your character gets yeeted in the air to make a big gap sometimes. That makes it harder if you want to get consistent results if you go for new maps and rely purely on your skill. In the end you are forced to try and error everything which is cumbersome. A game should make fun but this is just plain memorizing work. The concept crumbles upon it self.… Expand
