'OlliOlligame more than lives up to my expectations, shattering them into a million pieces with smart design decisions and sublime skateboarding.'
Here’s a confession: I don’t think I’ve ever successfully ridden a skateboard in real life. I’m entirely too clumsy and fully believe the second I push off I’ll slam my head on the ground. My brain will come out of my ears like those Playdough toys that turned the clay into McDonald’s’ french fries. It’s not a reasonable fear, but it’s all I can imagine when presented with one of those four-wheeled boards.
OlliOlli World, therefore, was one of the more exciting announcements of the last few years. A game that claimed it was going to take the series’ tight gameplay and put it into a more open-world environment? Sign me right up. Fortunately, OlliOlli World more than lives up to my expectations, shattering them into a million pieces with smart design decisions and sublime skateboarding.Souls games are known for a few things.
Smartly though, OlliOlli World doesn’t give you the full toolbox out of the gate. The game is split into five different worlds, and you’re still getting tutorials in the fourth world. For long-time fans, that might sound frustrating, but it gives the levels a sense of progression that lets new players slowly add to their box of tricks. Plus, the early levels don’t keep you from doing most of the key maneuvers. If you know how to do a manual, you can do it from the first level.
Not every level has the same level of complexity, but most of them have offshoots OlliOlli World calls “Gnarly Routes.” These branching paths lead you to new challenges and, in a few places, secret side missions. As you’re skating, you can see how the level wraps around itself, letting you go back on a subsequent run to try and find the alternate route.
