OlliOlli World takes place in the land of Radlandia, a vibrant, colourful world shaped by the Gods for one purpose and one purpose only: to skate. Before playing OlliOlli World, I had forgotten how much I loved those games growing up, and while OlliOlli World plays completely differently, I’m pleased to say I had a ton of fun with it, and it reminded me of how much enjoyment I used to get from skateboarding games.
Tony Hawk’s Underground and Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 were family favorites growing up, as was Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, which ended up being my introduction to both skateboarding games and Motörhead alike. Given that, I should preface this review by clearly stating that I am a newcomer to the series, although I have played my fair share of skateboarding games in the past. I also knew they were widely lauded and held in high regard from fans and critics alike, amassing somewhat of a cult following.
I knew that up to this point the OlliOlli series was made up of two 2d skateboarding games that featured pixel graphics, a decent challenge, and a lot of room to pull off tricks, combos, grinds, and so on.
