    Good and interesting premise, very unique. Calming gameplay earlier in the game, but my god are the controls not on your side at all later in the game.

    Riddled with invisible walls where you wouldn’t expect them to be, some of the challenges you have to find work arounds as the intended route designed is broken. I can definitely see why they stopped at 2. This game would’ve been better    Good and interesting premise, very unique.

    I can definitely see why they stopped at 2. This game would’ve been better if it had some more close analysis and clean ups, but it fails to deliver due to this, along with repetitive challenges.

    Wouldn’t recommend to play through but give it a try    … Expand

    de Blob is a welcome remaster and will hopefully lead to those who avoided the Wii version enjoying a fun and vibrant platformer. The sequel was released as a multiplatform title, so it’s possible that some may be looking backwards to the series’ origins. The game itself still holds up in comparison to its sequel, though it doesn’t have the enjoyable 2D sections. If you’re after a splash of colour to illuminate the dark winter nights, de Blob is a good place to go.

    Hopefully, in the not too distant future, THQ Nordic will see fit to bring out a new de Blob game that takes the core idea of what makes de Blob an enjoyable time, and builds upon it by modernising the more archaic elements of the game.

    Anyone who was already a fan of de Blob will likely enjoy replaying it on the PS4. This is as straightforward as ports go, with no added features or graphical effects. Regretfully, the pre-rendered CGI cut-scenes have not been given the care they deserve, and the controls were not carefully considered when translating them to a DualShock 4. There should have been a bit more effort put into this instead of almost none. Some annoying control quirks aside, the core gameplay still manages to be addictive. The timeless style of the visuals and jazzy music gives this a charm that is rarely achieved. Hopefully, this will pave the way for the superior de Blob 2's PS4 conversion.
