OlliOlli World is about going on a journey with friends and bonding with them along the way. There are no end-of-the-world stakes here. They’re traveling with a merry band of allies, including the photographer Suze, the previous skate wizard Chiffon, and a random dude who everyone calls Dad. In this game, the player is on an adventure to become a skate wizard and meet the five skate gods who reside in a magical plain called Gnarvana that overlooks the world of Radlandia. OlliOlli World’s plot doesn’t take itself too seriously but is fun nonetheless. That level of engagement motivated me to keep playing as I lost track of time and just wanted to see what was next. OlliOlli World is so addictive because its enthralling grip on players never lets go. The main unlockables for scoring well and completing these challenges are flashy cosmetics, including a ( Danny Trejo mask) - yes, really. The game never stops the player because they aren’t good enough it instreadrewards them for playing well.

It’s part Sonic the Hedgehog, part Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and part something wholly unique to this series.
