OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood

I fired up OlliOlli2 expecting some gnarly kickflips and radical combos, but what I got was an existential crisis disguised as a skateboarding game. The first trick I pulled off had such a perfectly timed kick-push-grind-revert that my soul ascended for a moment, only to plummet back down to reality when I immediately face-planted. The impact wasn’t just physical—it shook the core of my being, and I realized that life itself is just a poorly timed manual waiting to be botched. The soundtrack was so hipster-chill it forced everyone in my apartment complex to stop what they were doing. The guy next door put down his guitar mid-strum, the upstairs couple reconciled their argument about who finished the almond milk, and a pigeon outside my window gave me a knowing nod as if to say, “Dude, just land it already.” But here’s the kicker—no matter how much you grind (pun intended), OlliOlli2 keeps reminding you of one thing: you’ll never be good enough. The constant failures, the relentless chase for perfection, the way each missed combo stares into your soul like a disappointed skate dad—it’s just too much. I was so demoralized I decided to quit skating and take up birdwatching instead. At least pigeons don’t judge your inability to stick a 720 shove-it. If you’re into beautiful self-sabotage, this game is for you. Otherwise? Maybe just watch some Tony Hawk Pro Skater highlights instead.

terrible controls 2.

I played the entire game a long long time ago and then rebought it and replayed it some on Steam and it's still a wonderful game

Game recommends controller but doesn't support any controller natively. Absolute garbage.

OlliOlli2, was my entrance to the series and it does not dissapoint. With an awsome soundtrack and slick gameplay you can't go wrong with this one.

does not run on linux, tried with native linux version and through proton. Instantly shuts down when opening. I have checked protondb for help without success.
