OlliOlli World is skateboarding bliss. I've already plunked a few dozen hours into the game and it's a game I'm going to keep coming back to, whether that's to expand on my trick skills or to simply chill out for an hour and while having a blast. I love the new cel-shaded graphics and kudos to Roll7 for making this iteration a lot easier to get into. If you're a fan of Skate or Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and are craving your next skateboarding fix, this game absolutely delivers.

For OlliOlli World, I first looked at the predecessors, since I hadn't played them up to that point. Although the current part builds on those, you can feel the improvements not only in the graphics. The demanding gameplay is certainly quite special, because I don't recommend the skater game for casuals. You will only get frustrated. You need time and especially patience to master the controls and complete the levels perfectly. If these "requirements" are met and you enjoy skating, then you are in the right place. The colorful and fun OlliOlli World then knows how to thrill and captivate you. In the end, I enjoyed it so much that I also played the predecessors more intensively. OlliOlli World is a successful video game, which is easy to learn, but hard to perfect with its great variety of tricks.

But anyone would be justified in deciding to continue honing their skate skills in OlliOlli World. It's a fun game with practically infinite replay value thanks to asynchronous online multiplayer and the ability to generate new levels randomly. And despite realizing that I may never be the king of the halfpipe, I still find myself loading the game up to spend an hour attempting to master a new track with a single-combo run. OlliOlli World is all about the journey, that state of flow that washes over when you've committed to a challenging run, and testing your limits that way never goes out of style.

OlliOlli World was undoubtedly one of the surprises of early 2022. The developers' ability to blend the original concept of the series with the typical dynamics of two-dimensional platformers has proved brilliant and, in some ways, innovative. OlliOlli World is fun, challenging, satisfying and, above all, accessible to everyone. It meets the needs of both those looking for a product for hit and run sessions and those looking for a more challenging title where they can lose themselves for hours in unbridled completionism. If we add to all this an artistic compartment that, although it is inspired too much by Pendleton's works, manages to be pleasing and perfectly in line with the absurdities proposed by the game, it comes from that OlliOlli World is a product that, unless you hate skateboarding, platformers and Adventure Time, you should absolutely not miss and that, by virtue of having proposed a fresh identity is "different from the usual" to the series, has deserved our Award.

OlliOlli World is a fun mix of skateboarding and platforming that, while challenging, is still accessible enough to make playing it more rewarding than frustrating. And while it may seem short at first, it the game more than makes up for this with its high level or replayability.

This is an exciting new direction for the franchise and easily the definitive edition of an already fantastic skating game. OlliOlli World looks, feels, and plays like a dream whether you’re looking for the next fix following Tony Hawks or it’s the first time you’re hopping on a board. Roll7 and Private Division make an excellent team and I’m so excited to see what else they’ll bring to the game in the months and years ahead.

OlliOlli World follows the development of the series and with each delivery, the 2D action platformer based on skateboarding treats us to a marvelous experience. With a demanding but very fun gameplay that encourages players to be bold and creative, an exquisite audiovisual component and a level design that fits perfectly with the gameplay, OlliOlli World is a fantastic companion, whether at home or on the go.

Roll 7 have done what I believed would be impossible and taken two of my favourite indie games of the last few years and made the experience even better. The new art style is just stunning, the game performs superbly well and even the back story adds a little humour to proceedings. A local Co-op mode would have been a nice addition but when a game is this good it is almost impossible to find any fault with it. If you loved the originals then buy this game. If you haven’t played the originals, then buy this game. Put simply, this is an early contender for game of the year without a doubt.

It's a great guide book for beginners trying to play skateboard. Especially landing part is easier than former work's so even beginners can drive all courses without difficulty. But the story becomes more serious and its volume is also increased, so that it would be not good news for player who just want to play skateboards.

While I might have liked slightly more memorable levels or stronger personality from the supporting cast, OlliOlli World provides hours of skating bliss with rock-solid controls and a great sense of progression. Once you’re in the zone, it’s easy to lose hours as your quest for Gnarvana provides a sense of gaming nirvana. This one’s definitely worth a look.

OlliOlli once again surprises players with a very attractive title, both playable and visual, thanks to its change of register towards a "hippie" and happy style. Despite its appearance, it is still a title as demanding as the previous ones and requires a lot of practice to master each of its sections. With more than 70 circuits to play and enormous replay value, OlliOlli World becomes a must.

OlliOlli World combines different genres to offer an accelerated and compelling experience. The simple controls and stages filled with varied elements make the matches exciting and there are various advanced mechanics to master. The changes [when compared to previous games], such as the inclusion of checkpoints, turn the game into a more accessible experience, and at the same time it still offers the complex content for those who seek bigger challenges. Beyond that, its universe is mesmerizing with beautiful cartoonish aesthetics, soft Lo-fi hip-hop soundtrack, exotic locations, and many customization possibilities for the character. Some issues from previous games still persist, such as the trial and error moments; however, the feeling of frustration is minimized thanks to the new options. In the end, OlliOlli World is a must-play.
