Games based on extreme sports are nothing new to players who cut their teeth gaming in the early-mid 2000s. From Jet Set Radio to SSX Tricky, extreme sports have been the chosen event for so many exceptional titles in years past, but as the 2020's roll on, the availability of such titles is dwindling. The genre has faced ridicule over the past few years thanks to the underwhelming return to the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series with its fifth outing in 2015, and despite Ubisoft's Riders Republic working hard to remedy its soured reputation, the genre has been largely dormant. However, as many of the games in the genre were focused on skateboarding specifically, the release of OlliOlli World has lead the charge of the genre's resurgence.
