Mike loves to challenge you, and he will do it for every level. Again, the levels can and will get complicated, and itвЂ™s better to just play through the levels to get the hang of them before trying for that gold star you get for beating them with no checkpoints. Still, I recommend not being afraid of hitting Y your first, second, or third run through a level. In other words, beat the level without kissing the pavement. Second, beat the level without using a checkpoint. Each level has two challenges that never change. Missed the way to the branching path? Hit Y and go right back to Chiffon and try again. Thankfully, she likes to hang out after you pull off sick tricks. One of ChiffonвЂ™s gifts is she can bring you back after you eat it to wherever she is. Plus, another great addition to the levels is checkpoints. OlliOlli World doesnвЂ™t care how you beat a level as long as you can beat it. Many require precise jumps, grinds, or wallrides to reach, almost acting as a way to say, вЂњYou need to be this skilled to complete this path.вЂќ If you canвЂ™t reach it, thatвЂ™s okay. The branching pathways at that point also serve as a way to match your skill level. The levels get complicated when you start getting more tricks and tips to keep in mind to max out your score count or just to survive a level. Most importantly, they add variety to these levels that you may end up running over and over again, mainly because many of the levels are challenging. They could be tied to challenges (which IвЂ™ll touch on later), routes that will get you more points, or areas that unlock special side quests. Beginning after the first tutorial levels, branching pathways are introduced. The levels are very in-depth, particularly with the newest, and in my opinion, one of the best additions-multiple pathways to levels. The gameplay itself can be broken down into three parts: the tutorials, the challenges, and the levels themselves. Plus, there is no limitation of gender, so you can wear whatever you want on your skater and change out that look at any time. From the different clothes you can wear to the various boards you unlock, you can look just about any way you want (within reason). The cartoonish look also is a part of your character. Even in the background, there are fun humans, walking trees, ghosts, and aliens cheering you on through forests, city construction zones, woods, and a beach. I loved how colorful and cartoony everything was and how the change from a basic 2D color palate to a lively 3D space made the game just more fun to play. But, if they did, there is a handy cutscene skip feature at the beginning of every track to get you right into the action if you donвЂ™t care much about why youвЂ™re doing what youвЂ™re doing.Д«efore getting into the gameplay, I want to touch on the art style. Thankfully, none of the crew ever felt overstayed or annoying. While each of the crew was fun to interact with, they were at the end of the day MacGuffins to add some connection between the different tracks you go to. Each one brings a special something to the group who each have one goal in mind, help you shred your heart out to reach gnarvana.Д«eing the backbone of the story of OlliOlli World, it didnвЂ™t do much for me. You join the current Skate Wizard, Chiffon, and her crew: Suze, the camera lady, Mike, the bringer of hype/challenge expert, and Dad, the lovable safety concerned skater. Thankfully youвЂ™re not alone on this journey. To achieve this dream, you must skate and shred through the five areas of Radlandia and find the five Skate Gods. In OlliOlli World,В you play as, well, you! You are the newest prospect to become the next Skate Wizard. Unlike the past two iterations of theВ OlliOllifranchise, OlliOlli World is bright, colorful, over the top, and very technical. This continues to be the case for developer Roll7 and publisher Private DivisionвЂ™s newest game, OlliOlli World. There is one portion of sports games where being over the top is the norm: skateboarding games.
