Twice in the past 15 years, the skating genre has exploded, then imploded just as quickly as developers struggled to do anything new with it. So itâs exciting to see OlliOlli, a skating game thatâs nothing like Tony Hawk or EAâs Skate.
Instead, itâs got more in common with something like Canabalt; youâre controlling a skater whoâs moving from left to right on a 2D plane, and have to navigate the terrain using tricks (of which there are 120), jumps and combos.
Itâs out on Vita on January 21.
