    de Blob 2 suffers from repetitive gameplay and wonky camera issues. However, if you can overlook these niggling problems, there’s a surprisingly lengthy and endearing platforming experience within. It’s not a groundbreaking game, but it is accessible, and will surely be appreciated by fans of the genre and newcomers alike.

    de Blob 2 is a solid game that I am glad has made a return. While the remaster portion is a little of a misnomer, it is nice to see the game back. Now with these two remasters out of the way hopefully THQ Nordic can get on crafting the final chapter in the Blob trilogy. Bring it back, and make it beautiful. Colorful platformers are always welcome in my world.

    There’s fun to be had here, especially in couch co-op, but the niggles sit in the mix like a bunch of wasps at a picnic; you can try to ignore them, but sooner or later they are going to sting you.

    I first played de Blob 2 back in 2011 and to say it provided me with many enjoyable moments would be a massive understatement, so as you canI first played de Blob 2 back in 2011 and to say it provided me with many enjoyable moments would be a massive understatement, so as you can imagine I was very pleased to learn that it was coming to the Xbox One. Thankfully de Blob 2 retains its fun factor in a big way on the Xbox One and the added improvements that have been implemented make the game worth buying again. The gameplay feels as smooth and solid as ever and the platforming combined with the very good mechanics make playing this game a fun and very addictive experience. The addictiveness that’s present lasts for quite a while because the game has more than enough content to keep you satisfied, which is great. You will notice though that the longer you play the game the more technichal issues it has, but thankfully these don’t harm the game’s fun factor much and a small patch would sort these issues out quite easily. There are a number of levels for you to enjoy in de Blob 2 and each level has a lot of variety going for it, which in turn stops things from becoming tedious. I will say though that if you like a game that offers you a challenge then you won’t find much of one here, but I didn’t find this to be much of a problem because it meant my children could enjoy the game as well, especially when you get past the first level. I mention the first level because there are too many tutorials present and they do end up annoying you. There are many collectibles to be found in the game and without a doubt this gives the game quite a lot of replayability, and the best thing is that some of these collectibles improve Blob considerably which in turn makes playing this game even more fun. The presetation side of the game has without a doubt seen significant improvements. Visually the game looks crisper and more colourful and the accompanying music is absolutely fantastic and it never once got on my nerves, which is great. At the end of the day I love remasters where you can see the improvements that have been made and that’s definitely the case when it comes to de Blob 2. Everything feels solid and most important of all the fun factor is still present and you will no doubt have a lot of fun if you’re a fan of these games. As far as remasters go this is one of the best I’ve seen and if you loved the original then I fully recommend that you get it again.… Full Review »

    This game was part of my childhood and I say that it is undoubtedly one of the best 2D / 3D plantform games that exists. Graphically beautifulThis game was part of my childhood and I say that it is undoubtedly one of the best 2D / 3D plantform games that exists. Graphically beautiful levels, interesting missions, fascinating power-ups and especially the soundtrack, which is a work of art and varies from level to level, this game for me is spectacular.… Full Review »
