    This was an underrated gem on the Wii’s library, and its remastered version on the Switch is giving people a second chance to discover it. If you’re wise (and, obviously, you’re into inventive platformers), don’t miss out on it this time.

    de Blob is a peculiar game if we compare it with others. The concept it tries to convey is different and at the same time daring. However, it should be noted that this is clearly a port of the original Wii game, and therefore, doesn’t present major changes, but it’s a pleasure to see it in high definition.

    De Blob is a port that has been meticulously taken care of. It allows for better visuals in a platformer that, even nowadays, remains as a reference of the genre.

    It may well be almost ten years old, but de Blob is still a very welcome addition to the Switch’s library. It is by no means perfect, with several camera and control issues and a slight sense of repetition dragging the game down somewhat, but it makes up for these problems with colour, creativity, and fun. From the Minion-style cutscenes to the adorable, “yays,” from rescued residents, we can see kids and big kids having a great time here.

While it still has some of the control flaws from the original, it's still a fantastically fun, colourful, and unique game, with an utterly beautiful soundtrack. I'm already looking forward to the re-release of the sequel on the Switch later this year. My only other gripe is how difficult it was to find a physical copy- there were NONE in all of North Texas on release day, and I had to have someone pick a copy up in Los Angeles for me.… Full Review »
