But once it becomes second nature as a button press, you are able to ollie (ollie) off a ramp, rail, or wall at the right time to reach the end of the levels, and man does it feel satisfying to nail and land those big airs. The simple action of jumping, done by pulling the stick down and releasing it in a quick, flicking motion, may seem descriptively complex. The controls are slick and tight no wonder the devs are calling this a skateboarding platforming game. If you’re here to play the game just to enjoy the aesthetics and vibe it’s emanating, you’d still find it a joy. And the only pressure I have was from myself saying I could’ve done better, because the next score to beat, or one of the three side objectives available on each level, is plausibly attainable, just out of reach a bit. Here in OlliOlli World, the game very much wants you to chill out and make progress first. I felt like the game was putting a lot of pressure to reach lofty heights that I don’t think I could even reach. From what I remember, it was good, but man was it overwhelming. I played a bit of OlliOlli 2 way back when it was out in 2015. It’s only ramping because the levels are getting more complex and thus, more opportunities to do sick flips and sublime grinds to plump up that score. The score targets do ramp up as the game progresses but don’t worry. If you’re starting out with no prior OlliOlli experience, those score targets are attainable to hit. And in the early districts, these are very, very easy to achieve. Even in the third district, of the five that you will be skating through in Radlandia, you still be getting tutorials.įor each level, you have three different optional score targets you can try and beat for a sick new cosmetic. The game very gently eases you in by taking its time to introduce its many skating mechanics.īut if you already know what you’re doing the game won’t stop you from pulling manuals, nailing perfect lands, and doing Power Pushes before it introduces them in a tutorial level. What OlliOlli World is doing better this time around, however, is lowering the skill floor down an be inviting to newcomers. The skill gap between someone who can sloppily hold a combo for the whole entire level (which is already a huge feat) to a master skate wizard that knows everything about the game’s mechanics is big. The skill ceiling still feels as high as it was before.įrom what I can tell that is, I’m no hardcore OIliOlli player, but can regularly reach the leaderboard scores, but still far adrift from the folks that are more experienced with the franchise, judging by their 800K+ scores. Gameplay-wise, nothing has been compromised. Which is good! For hardcore fans, OlliOlli World is still an OlliOlli game despite the major change in aesthetics. Thing is, this has been true to the first two OlliOlli games. But behind that flowing, flawless run is someone that has entered the Fujiwara Zone, flicking those analog sticks with intent, with precision and without missing a beat. This game looks so relaxing and simple when you see the results of a master at work. That’s the impression I got from the first few hours I spent playing OlliOlli World, Roll7’s upcoming new entry to their skateboarding platforming series, with this one being published by Private Division. There’s so much skill required to prepare a roti canai and drive around a circle really fast.

Masters of their craft make what they do look easy.Ī top-level race car driver goes through rigorous fitness training (so they can wrestle against a mechanical beast that can potentially kill them) and mental prep work (to the point they can remember and emulate every wheel turn and pedal press with their eyes close), only for us to see the cars smoothly breeze through corners like it’s no big deal.Īn experienced cook at a mamak stall makes the masterful art of articulated flipping of doughs, working on is enough to become the flaky, soft, and tender flatbread that is roti canai, seems effortless.īut if you try and attempt either activity yourself thinking it’s a piece of cake, you will come to a rude awakening.
