Due out this Winter, Olli Olli World will arrive on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and oh yes! the Nintendo Switch.Fortune and kickflips, kid – glide and grind above the clouds as you ride the winds to the lost skate-cropolis in the sky: Radlantis. While the preview was just a slice of things to come, it showed a promising glimpse for the series… even if we had to play it on PC. The facelift, the new modes, and their ability to keep it all feeling like a natural evolution for the series while being a massive step forward is nothing short of amazing. Roll7 really looks like they thought of every conceivable way to improve upon Olli Olli and did just that with Olli Olli World. Even if you aren’t creative, the other new feature, the leagues system, seems like it’s going to scratch the itch for the score chasers that want to get a chance to not only challenge themselves but others. Giving players the opportunity to create in this world sounds amazing and we’re really interested in seeing just how intricate things are going to get with this game. For someone that played the original’s levels many many many times over, this is going to be incredible. Roll7 says that there are going to be “millions” of levels for Olli Olli World. What we didn’t get to check out, and what really sounds like it could be an awesome addition to the game is the Sandbox Mode. You can see players of all skill levels really getting a lot out of Olli Olli World on a session to session basis. But for those that want a little less, the game is still very much enjoyable purely from a sights and sounds perspective. If you enjoyed the score hunting and quest for mastery of Olli Olli you’ll have plenty to sink your teeth into here. You’ve got things like side quests and a rewards system that really has you going for a little bit more than the score itself.
If Olli Olli was the base model, Olli Olli World is the deluxe. All of this core stuff is still very much the center of it all in Olli Olli World, but so much has been added around the fringe. That included mastering tricks, learning the track layout, and of course, stringing it all together to max out your score multiplier. Olli Olli and Olli Olli 2 were really all about that high score - checking off the boxes and completing the specific objectives laid out to you on each course. Olli Olli World is a skateboarding fever dream come to life Olli Olli World is a skateboarding fever dream come to life. You probably won’t get to do as much exploring as you want, but you’ll see plenty of cool stuff in your time with the game. You really can’t say enough for the art-style here and the world that’s been created as it begs to be explored. Radlandia is a fantasy skateboarding Utopia where absurd creatures and colorful characters co-exist. But it’s not just the ramps and rails that are enticing, it’s everything that surrounds the track. The gameplay has been adjusted slightly with the ability to transition at will between parts of the track, while also being able to take different routes that allow you to open up new secrets and collect special items. The tracks themselves are still the star of the show though and with Olli Olli World there are a ton of different branching paths in each one that you’ll need to master to complete your objectives to seek out those high scores. This was not a bad thing, but Roll7 has something new on the horizon with Olli Olli World. The follow-up, Olli Olli 2: Welcome to Olliwood was a worthwhile successor to the original, yet it was very much cut from the same cloth. It’s a timeless classic that you can spend hours upon hours on, because it holds to the notion of being easy to pick-up, fun to play, yet hard to master.
Who would’ve thought that a side-scrolling skating game with a simple premise could be so deep and engaging? It didn’t hurt that the Vita was a perfect fit for a game of this type, but Olli Olli made it’s way to multiple platforms, with the latest release being on the Nintendo Switch just a couple of years ago.Īlong the way Olli Olli garnered plenty of praise (including a BAFTA award). It was much different than any other skateboarding game out there, a genre which saw trends go from arcadey to simulation as we moved from an era of Tony Hawk to Skate. When Roll7 released Olli Olli for the PlayStation Vita back in 2014 it felt like a shot in the dark.
