OlliOlli World

Forgiving it may be, but OlliOlli World has heaps of challenges to complete, and getting through all of the objectives in the last level is no easy feat. The new hand-drawn graphical art style makes it easier to have branching paths and a better sense of depth than ever before, which allows for grander levels and more mechanics to be added. The controls are simple enough, and quick reactions will be needed to fully master all the levels by stringing together one long-combo throughout. An absolute joy to play, and while it is different from the original two, its evolution was much needed to bring the title forward to the current generation of consoles.

Even if it still doesn’t lead to some sort of resurgence in extreme sports games, OlliOlli World can still stand as one of the most unique and fun skateboarding games of all time, one that’s perfectly suited for both novices and masters alike thanks to its intense and immaculate level design, massive variety of tricks to pull off and tons of challenges to keep players coming back for more. Top it all off with a superbly psychedelic style and setting to make things pop, and what you have is a skateboarding experience that may very well indeed be the closest to Gnarvana that you can get.

The OlliOlli games had already created a firm foundation for whatever came next in the series but OlliOlli World has helped elevate the series to must-play levels. Under this cartoonish look is one of the best skateboarding games of all time.

OlliOlli World takes the tight, rewarding gameplay of its simple predecessors, dresses it up in a beautifully colourful and quirky new art style, and layers on a bunch of new systems that make it even more satisfying to master. It's a masterclass in how to make score attack games that can have players attack the same spot for hours at a time in search of those vital few points that would give them the lead over a rival, with dozens of awesome hand-crafted levels and countless procedural ones on which to chase those big numbers. The manual dexterity required coupled with the breakneck pace of the game can be a little scary at first, but once muscle memory starts to kick in and you find yourself going for timely tweaks and greedy grabs without even knowing you're doing it, you will have finally transcended and achieved Gnarvana. Now, just one more run...

Simply put, OlliOlli World's newest entry is god-tier, and puts it up there with the best skateboarding games on the market.

OlliOlli World has something for everyone, be it hardcore skaters, platformer enthusiasts or those simply looking for a chilled out time.

OlliOlli World manages to stay true to its predecessors whilst making verts feel fresh. The multi-faceted levels are an absolute joy, adding experimentation and exploration to the solid foundation. With enough depth to please veterans, yet simple enough to attract newcomers, Roll7 has nailed the mechanics, making the trip to Radlandia essential.

A perfect evolution of the previous two OlliOlli games, OlliOlli World goes big with a uniquely appealing art style, fun character customisation, and a slew of options, without compromising what makes the series so addictive and inviting. It's good to be rad.

A whole 7 years after the predecessor “OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood” this minimalist skateboard series rises from the grave prettier than ever. With a new comic-style look and a smoother learning curve this sequel aims to conquer the heart of fans and newcomers alike. Thanks to brilliant level design, a single stage can go from a light breeze to punishingly difficult, simply depending which of the goals you choose to pursue. “Olli Olli World” will always push you do be just a little better, be it with a new rival on the leaderboard or the challenge to bop three treefrogs off their giant bees. One of the few downsides being that the otherwise addictive game flow is too often held up with skipping through lore and story dialogue before each mission.

OlliOlli World is a BLAST to play. Roll7 did an excellent job changing up their formula while still making this feel like an OlliOlli game. While it isn’t faultless with its difficulty, OlliOlli World is welcoming for just about anyone with any skill level.

OlliOlli World reaches the series' full maturity with a colorful and imaginative world, captivating characters and lots of content and challenges, offering a package never so fascinating and complete. Recommended to all the lovers of skateboarding and platforming.

After waiting more than seven years for a new delivery, more than five years it was well worth it. OlliOlli World represents a huge quality acrobatic jump that lands like the gods to enchant fans of the IP and open the doors to those who are just starting out in this crazy world of skateboarding.

Not only a relaxing and enjoyable game to mindlessly spend your time, but also a highly addictive, outrageously difficult and demanding platform of competition, all wrapped up in a beautiful visual field.

OlliOlli World offers an enjoyable easy to learn/hard to master experience. Your love-hate relationship with the game is partially spoiled by its technical flaws.

OlliOlli World is a fantastic 2.5D adventure sports title. Do you have what it takes to become the next Skate Wizard? Perform tricks, grind rails, leap chasms, and complete every task across 5 unique districts. It's colourful, loud, fun, and will remind you of the 90s.

Courtesy of some really great hand-drawn art, it’s hard not to adopt the game’s most excellent and bodacious attitude through osmosis. But OlliOlli World’s strength, as it has always been, is in its low barrier to entry and the fact it’s just so damn fun to pick up and play.

OlliOlli World is a unique and fun skateboarding game, despite a few flaws here and there, and it holds its own against more “mainstream” skateboarding games like Skate. Even if players have never picked up an OlliOlli title before, OlliOlli World is worth its price tag.

In short, it's more complete, more pleasant to watch, still as exhilarating and quick to play. A real achievement for the license.
