Once you learn a skill you will be taken to a stage to make sure you know how to effectively use everything you have been taught. If you know what you are doing already they will let you skip the explanations but since I haven’t played any of the previous OlliOlli titles in the past, this was all new to me. Apparently, they thought they had found the chosen one at least 20 times before discovering you, but they must be right this time! They decide to teach you all the skills you will need on your journey to become the Skate Wizard and meet the five godz in Radlandia. The Wizard is how humans communicate with the five Skate Godz. They feel that you have the skills required to take over as the Wizard of Skating from Chiffon, who wants to retire. He isn’t actually your father but he’s the oldest member of the group and he owns a skate shop called RadDads. In OlliOlli World’s story, you are travelling the world of Radlandia with a group of upbeat and oddball characters, even one named Dad. I really appreciated this when I would get stuck in a difficult area and had no desire to go through it again! Or, if you are far enough to pass a checkpoint, a tap of the Y allows you to return there. Once you figure out the right timing, along with the right way to perform the tricks, you are golden! If you do find you are crashing and wiping out a lot, OlliOlli World lets you restart from the beginning of the course if you hold down the Y button. If you hold it down too long or time it poorly when you are on a ramp, your character won’t get the height and distance they need to clear the gaps or obstacles on the course. Apparently, when you are trying to perform a trick with the left thumbstick, you just flick it in the right direction and you do that move. Luckily, the next day when I tried again, something clicked. I was concerned, how the heck was I going to write a review of this game when I had only seen part of the intro?

I was stuck on one of the tutorial levels, for two hours! Even though I was trying to follow the instructions the game was trying to tell me, for some reason I just couldn’t do it. I’ve been playing games since I was a kid, this is going to be easy! At least that was the plan until I started playing. After going through the huge variety of customisation options, I had a character that slightly resembled me, and a cool skateboard to take on the challenges with.

It was fast-paced, full of action, and looked to be a challenging experience. When I saw the trailer for OlliOlli World, developed by Roll7, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Reviews // 7th Feb 2022 - 1 year ago // By Alana Dunitz OlliOlli World Review
