OlliOlli World (Switch)

OlliOlli World baut wunderbar auf seinen Vorgängern auf und verbessert sich in jedem Aspekt. Die Welt ist farbenfroher, toll designt und bietet einfach was fürs Auge, auch wenn der Look sicher eine Geschmacksfrage bleibt. Das Gameplay bleibt dabei aber weiterhin fordernd und spaßig. Man kommt schnell in einen Flow und kann davon nur schwer wegkommen.

It's a game that will push you to be the most ridiculously skilled skater you can be, or just let you spend some time in its world for a bit. Either way, it's easy for hours to evaporate as you rattle off tricks and snag sick grinds.

There’s something for everyone, whether or not you’ve got a competitive edge or just want to reach for Gnarvana.

Behind the chilled out vibes of OlliOlli World's new art style, happy-go-lucky characters and eccentric customisation, this game takes Roll7's flow-state side-scrolling skating to new heights. It's a tad more welcoming for newcomers, but even OlliOlli 2 veterans will have plenty of new tricks to learn and master through its increasingly wild and challenging levels.

And even though it does face plant a little when it comes to its story, the crazy environments and customization elements that come along with it make everything worthwhile. Anyone who loved the first two games is going to go nuts for this one, as it kickflips the franchise forward in just about every way.

OlliOlli World is a fun ride through a goofy world. Even when it caused me actual pain, I enjoyed its many twists and challenges.
