OlliOlli World: VOID Riders takes colorful skateboarding out of this world

Roll7 and Private Division hit us with OlliOlli Planet before this 12 months and took us on the most vibrant OlliOlli skating journey however. It does not conclusion in the quest for Gnarvana, however. Conference the Skate Godz was just the get started. Now it is time for some skating out of this planet in the VOID Riders DLC. We sat down with the new concentrations, tale, and cosmetics in this enlargement and arrived absent emotion the vastness of the cosmos… and the sick tricks we busted on our journey throughout it.

The premise of the OlliOlli Planet: VOID Skaters DLC is as foolish and charming as just about anything that has arrive to the video game so far. As soon as you get previous Route 666 in the Burntrock area (the 3rd space of the primary activity), you are going to obtain a mysterious UFO that can be utilized to access the DLC content. Essentially, you fulfill some aliens that have occur to OlliOlli World’s Radlandia to uncover a neat skater to appease their chief, the Nebulord. Conquer all of the problems laid out right before you and you will come to be the Nebulord’s beloved skater, recognised as the famous Hyped One particular.

VOID Riders introduces skaters to new amount mechanics, a huge selection of new ranges, a new story chapter, and cosmetics to be gained by overcoming it all. It all starts with the tractor beam mechanic. Throughout most of the VOID Riders amounts are UFOs that emit a purple vitality beneath them. By using a seize trick inside of the purple energy, you will be lifted upwards. If you never get in the beam, you’ll just go splat on the floor under. I preferred this all-new mechanic blended into the presently entertaining wide variety of OlliOlli Globe controls. It suits nicely and pushes players to use a recognized mechanic from the base recreation in a new and attention-grabbing way.

The concentrations of VOID Riders are really pleasurable as very well. You can’t just go see the Nebulord ideal absent. 1st, you have got to get paid a pay a visit to to the VOID by way of new amounts scattered all through Radlandia. There’s a bathroom string of degrees that finishes up with you assisting capture a lagoon creature, a mission to capture and impress cows (affectionately referred to as moos) with your amazing skating, and more. When you get to VOID, it is about as colorful as OlliOlli has gotten in its environments. A host of weird alien creatures and terrain await you as you skate for a likelihood to impress the Nebulord himself.

Just about every 1 of these new levels will come with new Mike Difficulties and scores to beat. Some of them are outright dizzying in their general structure. I from time to time feel like OlliOlli Earth can be a small unfair in your 1st strategy to a intricate degree and VOID Riders is up there in problems as considerably as the layouts go. Often, you’ll have to check out for props to manifest on the route, these as grind rails increasing out of the water just as you have to have them to. Other situations, you have to very carefully skate toward obstacles as they are removed. I experienced extra than one occasion in which I was going way too fast and careened into a significant rock suitable prior to a UFO could elevate it out of my way. These levels are unquestionably for OlliOlli Globe players that know their way close to the sport.

Even so, conquering them is as considerably of a blast as everything in OlliOlli Planet, and you get enjoyment cosmetics for conquering them, just like any degree in the primary sport. A whole bunch of exciting alien-themed clothes, props, accessories, and much more are obtainable for gamers who conquer the difficulties and scores. I truly dug the new boards and hats, primarily the Nebulord hat that tends to make my skater’s head search like purple cosmic flames. Also, after you finish the key beats of VOID Rider’s degrees and appease the Nebulord, you get access to a contemporary slate of challenges throughout a great deal of the usual levels in OlliOlli Entire world. This provides some exciting good reasons to go back, replay typical levels, and score oneself even further more enjoyment cosmetic benefits for beating them.

OlliOlli World: VOID Riders is a heck of a fun time and won’t set you again far too substantially for the encounter at only $10 USD. It does not alter up the activity so a lot as insert a strong collection of more exciting stuff on to it. The tractor beam mechanic is very amusing and would make the new degrees even extra complicated, the degrees themselves are challenging, but exceptionally zany in their in general wide variety, and the narrative that goes along with it is the actual zaniness I assume out of Roll7’s hottest chapter of OlliOlli at this point. I also really like the publish-DLC problems incorporating on to stages of the base video game. All-in-all, if you like what the foundation OlliOlli Earth had to provide, VOID Riders is a superior addition to that presently fun bundle. Skate on, riders. The VOID awaits.
