The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner of the Green Stone

Made with good intentions, The Smurfs 2 The Prisoner of the Green Stone unfortunately does not manage to do as well as its predecessor released in 2021. However, the decision to take inspiration from Ratchet & Clank in its gameplay was a good idea in itself, but OSome Studio did not go through with the adaptation. Between a limited gameplay loop which is never renewed, the restricted use of SmurfoMix, the hallucinating - and incomprehensible - poverty of the bestiary (5 types of enemies in total), only 3 different worlds to travel through (and which last far too long). for a long time), portals that are completely underused but also an inconsistent level design, we get bored quite quickly because of this repetition in the gameplay. It's a shame because the game is well made, the gameplay is mastered and the graphics are attractive.

The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner of the Green Stone knows exactly what it aims for and how to make it work. With a story typical of the good old days of the animation, charismatic protagonists and simple and effective mechanics, it's a light and fun game, as long as you don't expect more than what it sets out to offer.
