OlliOlli World is ridiculously good fun and works great with Proton Experimental
Want to Kickflip, Heelflip and Ollie your way to becoming a master and impress the skating godz? OlliOlli World is out and it works right away on Linux with Steam Play Proton Experimental. Note: it requires a gamepad to play.
The third in the series, and the first to not offer a native Linux build. A shame it’s not officially supported by the developer, but Valve’s work with the Proton compatibility layer continues providing. This was an out of the box, day-1 working title with Proton.
A first for the series is the switch to a much more stylized 3D look, and it’s thoroughly weird through and through. Much like the two previous though, the basic idea remains the same with you tearing it up down a path like a platformer, while you do tricks and avoid hazards. It’s all simple to do, although building up a good combo can be quite difficult as it’s a very fast-paced game. It’s nothing like other skateboarding games, at all.
While there is a story and it’s definitely up there in the gnarly category, OlliOlli World is all about pulling off slick tricks. There’s over 30 main tricks you can do, add to that a number of different ways to grind your deck and all the combos you can do together and there’s a really big variety here. Learning them all takes a lot of time too so climbing those leaderboards certainly won’t be easy. However, OlliOlli World is far simpler to get into than what came before and so it’s a lot more fun overall.
A fantastic game to just pick up and blast through and to keep coming back to smash those high-scores.
Available to buy on Humble Store and Steam.
