de Blob Reviews

Really choppy camera with no settings whatsoever. it also doesn't support playstation controllers at all.

Please, please, PLEASE, play this gem of a game! Owned it on Wii since launch and still love it all the same.

The real enemy of this game is the HORRENDOUS camera. Feels like it has a mind of it's own and is actively out to get you.

if you play this game on keyboard and mouse you will puke from the camera if you play on controller ur good

All the funk/jazz/latin jamming musical fun of the original De Blob, but now without the barely-tolerable motion controls. Highly recommended if you have a penchant for interactive game soundtracks.

I played de blob 2 first when I was a kid, and de blob 1 lacks a lot of quality-of-life enhancements I was taking for granted. The way you constantly get stuck to any wall you jump onto makes it super annoying to get around and kills the joy of parkour, you change colour by just touching a paintbot (annoying in tight spaces), the targeting is slow and will always target enemies first even if there is another targetable thing closer to me, getting to 100 paint points is slow because the game has paintbots but no paint pools (so far), the maps are difficult to mentally map out and to get around, and other times they're just "here is a bunch of cluttered buildings in a square", and 60% of the game is just optional challenges/collectibles that are not required to complete the level, which is dissapointing. You can literally just do all mandatory challenges and paint a few buildings, and boom level complete. In de blob 2 there is a linear challenge-by-challenge system, and then optional challenges unlock after you complete the all story challenges, and point you towards certain collectibles, which is a lot more motivating. I miss how in de blob 2 you can choose whether to stick to a wall, the smarter targeting, paint pools, spacier maps, not changing colour by just touching a paintbot accidentally. However, I am also surprised at how similar this is to de blob 2. Similar art style, same characters, same soundfont, and even the music tracks themselves are basic versions of the same tracks in de blob 2, which is really weird and cool (they lack clear motifs though, which was fixed in de blob 2). Overall, I do recommend this, especially if you aren't used to de blob 2, but if you are finding the physics annoying, play de blob 2 instead. I hate all the inconveniences of this version after being used to de blob 2, but I'm gonna force myself to play this because it's more de blob content.
