3. OlliOlli World

OlliOlli was a side-scrolling skateboarding title, originally released for the PS Vita. Due to its simple controls and fluid mechanics, it was regarded as an enjoyable game.

But that's it. It wasn't epic. It wasn't a game-changer. It was just fun. So, when OlliOlli 2 gave players the same level of satisfaction, it felt like Roll7's franchise was going to keep its demographic entertained, without setting the world on fire.

But then, OlliOlli World changes everything. Discarding the drab design, the latest sequel is brimming with such an eye-popping kaleidoscopic composition, its distractingly beautiful. The core gameplay has been fine-tuned to perfection, making players feel like real skaters anytime they pull off a wall-ride or grind. Boasting multiple-routed stages, course generators, diverse customisation options, and an online mode, the threequel is sure to keep you and your friends entertained for hours on end.

As fun as the previous instalments were, OlliOlli World has shaken things up. If Roll7 maintain or surpass this standard in their inevitable follow-up, OlliOlli is sure to be among the defining series in the sporting genre. And with the DLC having just been released, now's the perfect time to start grinding.
