    De-Blob 2 is an average sequel to an average game. Nothing more, nothing less. I had my fingers crossed that the sequel would at least blow my mind in some way, but I was left unsatisfied. Comrade Black is back! (The Inky soldier with the fanciest cap) And he plans to try and take over the world and Blob as to stop him once again.

    One of the biggest problems this sequel has is that    De-Blob 2 is an average sequel to an average game. Nothing more, nothing less. I had my fingers crossed that the sequel would at least blow my mind in some way, but I was left unsatisfied. Comrade Black is back! (The Inky soldier with the fanciest cap) And he plans to try and take over the world and Blob as to stop him once again.

    One of the biggest problems this sequel has is that while their are certainly new gameplay elements and characters, nothing feels like a drastic change. Their's a new robot that assists Blob called Pinky for multiplayer mode, which doesn't really add anything to the game besides a means to paint buildings quicker.

    Comrade Black starts a cult to control the city and brainwashes a lot of the Raydians. Which has the potential to lead to a lot of comedic and dark elements, but the only thing to come out of it are a couple new enemies. Once you finish "The Senate" level, its hard to tell the second game apart from the first game. You're still fighting Inkies, you're still saving Graydians (Yes, not everybody was brainwashed for some reason), and the gave even ends with another space level.

    It's bizarre to see a game reuse this many elements from its predecessor. It's important for a sequel to be faithful to the original, but it should also contain a sense identity. I swear, the title of this game shouldn't be De Blob 2, it should be De Blob 12 More Levels, because that's all that this game is.

    Some moments did stand out, like the monster boss in the Inky Fabricator stage better known as..."The Monster". Original Character...do not steal! Where you have to paint pathways to lead it into fire traps while dodge its attacks in quick-time events. All to jam of some pretty groovy beats.

    Other than that though the game is still overall pretty underwhelming. Like the last game the "restore color to the world" theme is interesting, but it gets old fast. Did you want to see a fun team up between the heroes and the villains, well sorry sister this isn't a Mario RPG its De Blob 2 The Identical Plot Point. You get two conversations between the Inky scientists and that's it. Too bad, so sad.

    I guess I did have a little fun with the final level though, where Comrade Black breaks the 4th wall and plays mind games with you. And final boss at the end, well I wouldn't call it hard, their are power ups everywhere to keep you alive, I didn't even lose a life. But it does take forever activate all the switches in order to defeat him.

    Not a bad game by any means, but I wish it was a more interesting game.    … Expand

    deblob 2 reuses the concept of its predecessor and adds the most characteristic elements of a platformer, becoming surprisingly good.

    There are only a few improvements compared to the first de Blob. The soundtrack is groovy, the gameplay is fun and altogether it is a wonderful and charming Jump&Run.

    The few design decisions that take de Blob 2 towards skillful play don't produce a robust experience of this kind, and undermine the game's better qualities.
