Retro Forward plays OlliOlli


OlliOlli game play: High score on the daily grind challenge

OlliOlli review

OlliOlli is a 2D skateboarding game developed by Roll7. Think of OlliOlli like a retro influenced Tony Hawk game. Each level has specific objectives to accomplish in order to move on, these include beating a high score, landing certain tricks, collecting items, etc. I played the PS4 & Vita versions for this review. 

The game was originally released in January 2014, and is available on PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U,  as well as PC. The game has an excellent retro inspired look, combine that with solid level design, a bit of humor, and you get one of the best skateboarding games available today. Controls can be a bit challenging at first but once you have played a few levels you will quickly get the hang of things, and will be skating like a pro. I will say that you should play a console version as the handhelds are not as accurate for preforming some of the more challenging combos. The music however didn't do anything for me, but I can respect that it does match the game play, and didn't feel out of place. 


OlliOlli is a fantastic game and the good news is we will have a sequel sometime this year. If you are a fan of skateboarding games, and want a game that will challenge you as well as keep you coming back for more look no further. OlliOlli is the game you are looking for. The game also features a daily challenge where everyone gets one chance a day to post a high score for a randomly selected level. In the video above I show off the daily challenge and get a #1 spot.  
If you buy this game for Playstation it is also cross-buy so three versions for the price of one.  If you love skateboarding and pixel art pick this up today. 

GET IT!
