I would like to thank @duhnuhnuh for gifting me this game, as a part of their massive Steam Key giveaway, and I’d recommend checking it out if you’d like to try some games out for the cost of absolutely nothing.

OlliOlli World is a game that requires you to master it’s mechanics in order to enjoy it to the fullest. Look at my score and you’ll see that I clearly haven’t done that. I do enjoy OlliOlli World, but it’s in a weird place, something akin to Spelunky 2. A sequel for OlliOlli fans, that will leave some disappointed and even confused. I did play OlliOlli on the 3DS a while back, and remember being extremely... conflicted on it. So I don’t know why I picked OlliOlli World specifically, but here we are. World is essentially just those two games, only much, MUCH improved. What I like a lot more about World compared to OlliOlli is the increased focus on player tutorials and support. OlliOlli told you to simply “Look in the Tricktionary!”, but it didn’t really feel that great to do, as it’s just buckets of information dumped straight on the player. Right off the bat, World fixes that, having a whole world to play around in from the get-go. I didn’t feel so left in the dark, so I was already having a decent time by myself. The second thing that World improves on is the level design of Olli. OlliOlli’s level design was pretty flat and not all too fulfilling. There were grind rails, you could do tricks, and that’s really it. World just straight up has better level design. There’s so much new mechanics at play here! From massive grind rails, to alternative, yet more difficult paths, and just a greater sense of speed overall. Also, the tricks were far more pronounced in World than in OlliOlli. I looked up some of the later levels in OlliOlli and I don’t even think they can compare to even the earliest levels in World. Combined with a solid soundtrack, and we have a bit of a banger here! Far better than OlliOlli at least. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t get down with that game. It just wasn’t all that fun.

But unfortunately, it’s not perfect... I do like the mechanics, but I kind of wish there was a bit more variety? It’s a fun loop, but one that only lasts for so long. Like, what if your ingame scores correlated to some shop that you could buy more tricks in, kind of like DMC? I played this on my Steam Deck and I have to say that this was a perfect fit for the game. I can just complete a few levels and hop out. I can see myself finishing the game in the future, but we’ll see. This is a bit of a temporary rating, so we’ll see how the game amps up over time!

Sidescrollers e platformers são meu gênero favorito de jogos, então quando eu vi que fizeram um autoscroller de SKATE eu tinha que dar uma chance e ver se era bom mesmo... Algumas várias horas depois eu posso dizer que curti demais o jogo, tanto que cheguei a platinar ele DUAS VEZES (uma na versão de PS5 e outra na de PS4).

O gameplay é super satisfatório e a tricklist é bem grandinha, dá pra você fazer muita coisa maneira e estilosa, e se você se dedicar bastante dá até pra competir com o pessoal do online (só fique avisado que o pessoal é meio viciadinho por lá). O jogo começa bem fácil e gradativamente vai ficando bem difícil, tipo, BEM DIFICIL MESMO, só que eu acho a curva relativamente justa e quando você finalmente chegar no último mapa vai sentir que já está completamente sob controle e que manja de todos os paranauê que dá pra fazer no jogo.

Para fãs de jogos de skate e sidescrollers esse jogo é um prato cheio, recomendo 1000%!!!

Me surpreendi bastante com esse jogo, é realmente muito divertido, mais ainda se você colocar uma boa playlist pra tocar enquanto joga.

A arte do jogo é muito linda, a trilha sonora combina com a temática e a gameplay é extremamente satisfatória, muito mais do que eu esperava.

Além disso, OlliOlli World tem mapas lindos e criativos, personagens carismáticos e uma jornada interessante, o que agrega bastante na imersão.

Eu realmente não esperava muita coisa desse jogo, pensei que não gostaria tanto, mas agora posso dizer com certeza que até quem não gosta de skate vai se divertir muito jogando.

Quick game that doesn't overstay its welcome. You keep learning new techniques throughout the entire campaign, so by the end I got the sense the main story is building your competency to tackle their post-game content.

Great for quick sessions and getting into the flow state.

Cons: medium difficulty spikes at times and middling story. They know you may not want to read all that text and thankfully give you the option to skip most of it.

Every now and then I come back to this game and I am instantly reminded of how much fun it is to experience.

OlliOlli World really excels in its creativity and originality in the skateboarding game genre. The art style is so vibrant, and the endless combinations for its character customization is something I really adore.

I think that it does a great job at building a really intuitive trick system, and I imagine this is what makes the game so accessible to players who may not have any care for skateboarding at all. It leans it's players into its mechanics but then does not shy away from providing the challenge that makes them want to keep playing.

This is one of those level based games that make you WANT to ace and master it, rather than just get to the finish line. the level design and trick system creates opportunity for endless re-playability and it is for these reasons that I always find myself coming back.

The narrative is cute but nothing that deep, overall this game just excels at being FUN. If you are looking for something to play for the week I highly recommend giving this a try. Another bonus is that the soundtrack is great. :)

OlliOlli World is a freaking blast. It feels so damn satisfying to control and string a ton of skate combo chains together to net yourself a bigger score at the end of each level. It starts out easy but the levels get harder, and you're rewarded for your mastery of it's mechanics.

I was surprised at how much of a breeze the final level was for me too, I just got through it with relative ease all because I mastered it's controls. Just goes to show how important control, movement options, and feel is to making great platformer games.

"Skaters wear, like, rags and shoelaces for belts, because their identities can't be BOUGHT"

"So where do they get their clothes, the thrift store?"

"Nah, the skate shop"

O jogo promete pouca coisa, mas entrega com perfeição tudo aquilo que prometeu.

Envolta de uma direção artística impecável e cheia de personalidade, existe um game simples (com espaço pra complexidade caso decida se aprofundar na mecânica), faça combos enquanto completa fases de plataforma com algumas missões e segredos opcionais para se concluir.

Tudo isso resulta em um dos melhores jogos já feitos para passar o tempo.


Não espere mais daquilo que os trailers apresentam, mas espere exatamente aquilo, sem mais nem menos.

It's like an Adventure Time styled spinoff crossover with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. This game is a complete vibe from start to finish.

Never has an extreme sports game given me such a dumb smile on my face (as well as a sore left thumb) since SSX 2012, which was a childhood favorite game of mine growing up. I could also personally compare it to Dustforce with how similar the chill, laidback vibes I get while playing both games.

Overall, I highly recommend this game!

Hidden gem game with an interesting characters, cute CAC options, colorful design and very challenging levels. The music is also really good and fits the overall aesthetic of the game. Dialogue is also really well thought out and actually managed to get some laughs out of me.

While it has a lot going for it, I feel like the required hours needed to fully complete the game is a pretty insane jump compared to just finishing it casually which speaks levels on the game's difficulty. At times it can get frustrating to get full completion on the level and often made me feel like things were getting repetitive too quickly. I would almost go as far as saying that the game takes an unnecessary amount of time to complete.

Also important to mention is some jumps at check points are barely doable considering that the amount of momentum needed to make the jump isn't enough and sometimes require you to restart the entire level, defeating the point of the checkpoint.

My daughter and I started this game on a whim when it was released as a PS Plus monthly game and it immediately hooked us.

It's a perfect pass-the controller game. We had a great time with it and it was cool seeing her improve with the mechanics, during the year that we've been playing, slowly chipping away it in between other games.

The art style is really cool, very similar to Pendleton Ward's Adventure Time. The game is simple to pick up, but difficult to master. The levels are really innovative and creative in how they use their 2D space. It's also got great character customization options which my daughter adores.

We saw credits today, but we are definitely interested in getting the expansions at some point.
