One of the best things about going to the skatepark is hanging out with friends. That being said, although OlliOlli World has been well received by both fans and critics alike, they haven’t managed to fully recreate the social aspect of real-life skateboarding.
However, there is still a bit of hope for fans of this wacky and vibrant skateboarding game.
Cross-Play/Cross-Platform In OlliOlli World
OlliOlli World has two main multiplayer modes – Gnarvana League and Gnarvana Portal. These two modes are categorized as “asynchronous multiplayer”, which means that players will take part in shared activities but they won’t be concurrently playing.
Roll7, the developer behind OlliOlli World, has stated that the leaderboards in both of these modes are cross-platform. This means that you will at least be able to get the satisfaction of beating your friends’ high scores no matter where they’re playing.
All in all, these two multiplayer experiences are fun but somewhat limited. On one hand, Gnarvana League simply challenges players to beat the high scores of their friends, for bragging rights and to unlock rewards (such as cosmetic items).
Meanwhile, Gnarvana Portal is notably different, being somewhat reminiscent of popular level builders like Mario Maker. Players can determine the style, difficulty, and length of their custom level and then share it via an eight-digit code once the game generates it.
Anthony has been playing games since the 90s – with his first gaming memory being him playing an old school Gameboy in the backseat of his dad’s car. Although nowadays he also plays on PC and other consoles, Nintendo still has a grip on his heart…and his pockets. This is also probably why he currently holds the title of #1 Pokémon fanboy at Games Fuze.
