However, should you feel encouraged to perform some harder tricks, or simply want to increase the challenge, then there is a large list of potential special moves you can do. This ensures you never feel babied due to a lack of experience. The basic tricks you can perform from the outset still look and feel amazing.

Despite merely flicking an analogue stick you’ll still feel the exhilarating rush as you whiz through levels at top speeds pulling off sweet tricks in an impressively long combo. The ease at which you can grasp the controls allows for continuous and smooth gameplay without frustrating interruptions.įortunately, the simplicity of the control scheme never impedes the thrill of skateboarding.

#OLLIOLLI WORLD STEAM SKIN#
You can choose from a plethora of fantastically quirky clothes, accessories and hairstyles and your skin tone and body size. There is also an extremely detailed character customisation tool that allows you to create the skateboarder of your dreams. It is safe to say that the developers more than accomplished that. There was a clear and conscious effort to make these exciting and memorable characters. The colourful cast of characters you’ll encounter are all instantly iconic and are brimming with charm. The game’s pastel colour scheme and Saturday-Morning-Cartoon-esque character designs afford it a wholesome and vibrant – dare I say – vibe. Locations are populated with an assortment of exciting backgrounds and features that greatly heighten the experience of barreling through them. While easily described as cartoonish, the world and aesthetic of OlliOlli World is intricately detailed to a staggeringly phenomenal degree. OlliOlli World’s most superficially obvious accomplishment is its visuals. In-game Screenshot “The colourful cast of characters you’ll encounter are all instantly iconic and are brimming with charm.” Fortunately, not only is OlliOlli World the most accessible skateboarding game I’ve ever played, but easily the greatest. So, when it came to reviewing the colourful OlliOlli World, I went in with a generous helping of trepidation. While in large part it is due to my inability to grasp their controls, a little part of me likes to believe it is due to the bullying my brother inflicted on me as a child while I fumbled around desperately trying to top his ridiculously high scores in Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland. Hopefully, it will help the skating genre return to the limelight after its long absence. After almost seven years since it was first conceived, Session: Skate Sim will finally be fully released this year, which may encourage more people to try out its unique style of gameplay. The new game utilizes “True Stance Stick” controls that allow players to control each of the skater’s feet independently by using the controller’s two analog sticks, similar to the aforementioned Skater XL. Unlike other skateboarding games that take a more creative approach, such as OlliOlli World and its stylistic 2D platforming, Session: Skate Sim sits at the other end of the spectrum, taking simulation-style gameplay to the next level. Session: Skate Sim entered early access on Steam way back in September 2019 and Xbox Game Preview in June 2020. Session: Skate Sim Finally Announces September Release Date
