Gosh, who knew intense outdoor labour could be so cute?
Ollie & Bollie's Outdoor Estate popped out of Dutch collective Sokpop last October. You'd be forgiven for missing it, however, unless you're up to date on your Humble Monthly bundles. The pair have since broken free of those shackles, and you can now pick up Ollie & Bollie for a meagre $3 on Itch.io .
Renovating an estate is hard work, with four intense tasks to complete. You (Ollie) and a pal (Bollie) will test your friendship with exhaustive trials.
Cutting down trees? Building sheds? Precarious sheep-balancing? Tough, if whimsical stuff. You can bring a mate along on gamepad or keyboard to help out. If you haven't any, mind, don't worry - Sokpop claims Bollie's AI is "really good".
Ollie & Bollie is also headlining Sokpop's Patreon this month. For three quid a month they'll throw you too games, which right now are this and the open-world sneak 'em up Pilfer .
Toss Sokpop an extra tenner in a Berlin club and you'll get a lovely little hat with a sock on it. You'll cherish the hat. You'll lose the hat within the hour, staggering back to the AirBnB in a haze of trams and streetlights. A hatless fool.
Three months later, you still won't let it go.
I'm saying you're probably better off with the cute game.

Ollie & Bollie: Outdoor Estate (Sokpop) Review
Ollie & Bollie: Outdoor Estate is an adventure game in a simulated world. You help Ollie and Bollie, who are two bird-like people, look after their farm in the countryside by completing simple tasks. It may sound familiar but stands out because it gives very little instruction and allows you to explore and discover the world and what you can do in it through experimentation. It works best as a two player cooperative game, but can be completed on your own with a computer controlled second character helping you. Play involves exploring the level and finding the to-do list which gives you four simple tasks: plant an orchard, build a barn, fix the cart and return the sheep. As you explore and progress you discover how to grab things and interact with the world. In particular, like Moving Out, Ollie and Bollie need to cooperate to use various tools and carry heavy objects. It's ideal for a parent and child to play together. It's super gentle, non-violent but still offers enough challenge to develop teamwork and fine motor skills. Older players may also enjoy the open challenge here, although will be a little quicker to finish.
Play Time: This game will take between 40 minutes and 1 and a half hours to complete.

so i’ve recently realized that, like many gamers on the internet, between itch.io and humble bundle over the years, i’ve wound up with way more games than i really plan on playing. so i’m trying to dig into some of those, and i’ll be discussing some of my thoughts on those here!
alright right up front, i wanna say that i didn’t finish this game. i really prefer to finish games before i talk about them fully, either 100%ing them or at least reaching the credits and finishing the “intended” experience of the game, but i feel like i can talk about this game without having technically finished it.
recently, my partner and i had a date night where we played Ollie & Bollie: Outdoor Estate , by the Sokpop Collective. we were looking for co-op and local multiplayer games and it looked extremely cute, so we gave it a shot (the game can be played solo with an AI controlled player 2, but i have not gone back to try it. my perspective is with a human partner, and that would likely stay the preference either way).
Ollie & Bollie has a simple premise: fix some broken stuff in this park. it’s part exploration game, as you meander around this very cute environment, and part puzzle game and you figure out the best approach to some of these broken objects. but there’s something not covered by explaining the mechanics of the game, and that’s part of what creates such a charm while playing it.
the characters in this game are extremely fucking wobbly. like, every step they take is solid and determined and shakes the entire mass of their being, and every jump feels like it could lift them into space before they plop back down into place. and the control are simple – move, grab, jump, interact, but that grab allows you to pick up both tools… and your partner player, which happens a lot, intentionally and unintentionally. there’s just enough weirdness and potential for chaos that trying to fix any of the broken items in this little world caused my partner and i to lose our shit as we hobbled around and tried to corral sheep or cut down a log. the experience was extremely funny and absolutely made our date night.
i will say: we did encounter bugs. partway through a small visual error stretched a rope across the map, and i’m pretty sure our attempts to fix the shed were broken in a way that kept us from completing it, before a crash halted our session a little early. that being said, i definitely got full value out of the game and it’s easily worth the asking price.
Ollie & Bollie: Outdoor Estate – 9/10
