Игра была пройдена вдоль и поперёк, каждая ачивка получена. - Каков вердикт? - НЕ рекомендую! Оригинал на две головы выше. Если вы хотите вспомнить былые времена и заново пройти Asterix & Obelix XXL - заморочьтесь и пройдите оригинал. Вы спросите почему? По множеству причин: 1) В ремастере просто невероятное количество багов. Начиная от графических (резкие изменения освещения при повороте камеры), заканчивая такими, …

Played for a few hours. Didn't enjoy the game at all. It shows that mechanically it's 20 years old. Basically all you do is collect thousands of helmets with some multipliers scattered around, destroy thousands of boxes which explode into helmets and occasionally spam attack button to eliminate enemies. Other than that, there are puzzles (Lost Vikings style) where you have to use both characters to complete them or …

Ah yes, my childhood Romastered! Not gonna lie I cried from nostalgia when I first saw this. This game was very important for my childhood as a gamer. I was very excited to replay this after 15 years. I loved Asterix & Obelix as a kid. My parents bought all of the books through the school book club in the early '80's and I reread them dozens of times, always finding something new in the dialogue and names as I got …

The only reason this gets a positive review is because they included the option to switch back to the original look/sound. Also, the game itself is a very good 3D beat-em-up and surprisingly challenging too. This "remaster" looks and sounds awful. Everything feels cheap: the models look like they were made by an intern, the colors are all wrong, the textures were ran through an upscaler, the shadows keep popping in, …

Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered, this game makes you feel like Asterix & Obelix from the comic series as well as the shows back when VHS was a thing. Pure nostalgia. It didn't really hold up that well playing it nowadays. Pros: Nostalgia Swapping between old and new graphics (old feels better imo) Original voice actors (from what I could gather, but don't quote me on it) OG Dark Souls Cons: Clunky combat Movement …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I originally played this on the PS2 but never finished it. At the time I simply lost interest, mostly because of certain sections I couldn’t pass. Platform games were never really my thing, even though I played similar titles growing up. Revisiting it now with the Romastered version, I can say the game is genuinely fun. It’s dynamic, colorful, and keeps a steady rhythm between combat and light puzzle sections. However, puzzles in general aren’t something I personally enjoy anymore, that’s…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not about to thumbs-down a freebie... But when you do a remaster of a "very much game controller" game, try to remember that "game controllers exist" and read up on their API a little bit. It can make a big difference in the quality of your product!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect game to find & play on a cold & rainy day. Asterix & Obelix XXL Romaster.
positive · AI labelView post →tAsterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered is an ancient game from 2003. It's a whopping 21 years old at the time of this review. While this console ported third person platformer/brawler has been "remastered", it's a vague remaster of a bad console port, that doesn't fix any of the problems of the bad console port. At least there's widescreen support, and the graphics from the original game weren't so bad, so they're borderline tolerable here. On the upside, the game does feature customisable…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been in a bit of an Asterix mood lately (as @almaelma.bsky.social may tell you) and decided to look back on my review of Asterix & Obelix XXL Romastered: a 3D action adventure game from the PS2 era which got a shiny HD coat of paint a few years back. I've ported it to my new blog, take a look!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve been getting into this series after watching and liking the newer animated movies and mini series and starting getting the comic collections. I figured I’ll try one of the games out, see if I’ll enjoy them. And I haven’t finished it. Got to the last level. Made it through an obnoxious fight against 1000 enemies in a small arena. Made it to a gauntlet of fights. Was missing five enemies from round 3 so I quit hoping to get back into it only to start with the worst fight so far again. I’m a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completed as of writing this review: 100% but not all achievements (not going to bother with unfair difficulties) Since the original is not available digitally, I will leave my review for both the original and remaster. Original version: One of the nostalgic games that I absolutely adore! It's simplistic for it's time, which still reminds me of how back then the most important part was for a game to be fun, just like many other games in the 6th generation. I'm not that familiar with the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its good But to get a controller working you need to from your library select the cog, which will allow you to access properties, then under controller disable steam input. Now your controller will work.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#games #promosky Today on games I like, Asterix & Obelix XXL. I love Asterix cartoons and as a kid I bought this game. Honestly, it was surprisingly intense and at times scary for kid me. The atmosphere is kinda dark, the Romans are COMPETENT and the map theme is still ingrained in my mind.
positive · AI labelView post →This game is a masterpiece and deserves much, much more than it has received. It's one of my all-time favorites. The remaster is done perfectly, and the original feature that lets you switch between the remaster and classic mid-game is amazing. I don't understand people who give this game negative reviews. I've read dozens of ChatGPT generated negative buIIshit reviews, then there's this guy complaining that the game is too hard on hard mode—WTF, that's the point! They say it’s not worth 20…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I WANT to recommend this remaster from one of my favorite childhood games, I just can't. There are so many things wrong compared to the original, even playing on retro mode only does not give you the actual XXL experience I've grown to love from the PS2 days, nor does it give you a great new experience updated for modern platforms as the game fails to do this in almost every way imaginable. Audio problems related to helms, boxes and even the soundtrack itself were never fixed.…

neutral · AI labelView post →Well done remaster. Finally I complete the entire game, back then i didn't know about any combos. Now I can easily destroy all romans with Twister. BUT: - Water texture is just a void on steam deck (had to switch to old graphics all the time), and it's still not fixed 5 years after release - Cameras angles sometimes are really annoying, you could just miss the platform and fall into lava, not good I'd recommend it only if you played the original version, out of nostalgia

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game absolutely deserves an hour-long YouTube review. But I'm too lazy to make one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very unforgiving glitchy controls, unskippable cutscenes, especially if you're trying to redo a challenge. There are just better games to play out there. Also, the Romastered graphics make it almost impossible to reach certain platforms, whereas changing it back to original makes it easy. If you like this, fine. But don't expect too much.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I grew up with Asterix and Obelix. Read the comic books, and watched the cartoons and films. When this game came out I was thrilled. I never was able to finish it because of its difficulty and my lack of understanding the combo attacks. When the remastered version was released, I decided that I will complete it, which I did. I played mainly with the retro version but was occasionally switching to the remastered version. Either way, it remains very difficult, sometimes frustrating and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unworthy remaster and full of bugs for a great childhood game This was one of my childhood game, a great fun action platform game with lot of nice ideas and especially cool style and design perfect for Asterix, finished the original so many time and bought this new version just to be able to play the game again, i knew beforehand that it would not be a great remastered but not that bad. Basically Take the original game, make a lazy remastered mode that looks weird with plastic texture…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the remaster isn't bad, i just wonder why and how a remaster for such a boring and tedious game is necessary. button mashing combat with occasional puzzles. empty levels with nothing going on inside of them. can't recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game I really want to like but just cant because it feels really janky and repetitive. I am not sure what exactly the problem is but in between pressing A and X on the controller in battles to avoid being hit there really isnt much more. I also dont get why you cant freely change between Asterix and Obelix most of the time. The Y grab and swirl move almost never works since you need to stand really close to the enemy and not being hit. This is sadly also a problem in the original game. The…

Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered is a polished version of the original game. Anyone unfamiliar with Asterix & Obelix missed out on a childhood spent in front of the TV or console. The game captures a fantastic sense of nostalgia. The story is clear and easy to follow. The gameplay is great; you brawl your way through the chapters, gradually utilizing newly acquired abilities that you have to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Asterix & Obelix XXL An enjoyable game about clobbering romans, based on comics I loved as a kid. (Read Full Review)
positive · AI labelView post →The gamepad works, but in a strange way. It’s impossible to perform combos, you have to use the keyboard to confirm actions, and in the settings menu you have to switch options using the mouse. They released the game and then lost interest in it. I got stuck on the first challenge, where you have to collect 2,000 helmets, but I always ended up below 1,000. I repeated it more than 20 times. The first level is extremely boring, but I told myself I’d push through. For those who grew up with this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a remaster of the original Asterix & Obelix, what's there not to like? The saga itself is already a timeless, fun classic - everything else is a cherry on top. The gameplay loop follows a similar level design as the games of its time, with collectibles gathering across the board (now made easier with guides), and fun and quirky characters with nice dialogue. The highlighting feature is the seamless transition between older and remastered graphics - as instant of a time travel as it can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the original game way back when it first came out, and it was hard — really, really hard. I never managed to finish it. But it was fun, or so I remember it. Now, almost 20 years later, it's still really, really, REALLY HARD! Was this game made for children or adults? I forgot how funky the controls are. The camera angles are hard to control; it zooms in on you all the time, which is frustrating when you have to fight 30 enemies that surround you, and they melt your HP in seconds.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to play the OG version as a kid, so this sparked a lot of nostalgia. The game is a very good action packed platformer. It has everything the OG had, plus more. I love how switching the graphics becomes an actual game mechanic during those race sections. It's awesome. It definitley earns the "remaster" badge.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing it with the PS1 graphics shows how awful the remaster actually look with hyper realistic graphics you end up being unable to read the enviroment, enemies and their attaks props for keeping the option
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since I never managed to play through this game in my childhood and since I've recently stumbled upon this game in a bundle for cheap, I figured I pick it up to finish it now. Unfortunately my childhood nostalgia wasn't able to keep me occupied with this one. It really just didn't age well and is optimized horrendously. I love that you are able to switch between oldschool and Romastered graphics by simply pressing tab and I like the different voice overs. I am also fond of how the game looks…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A classic remastered for modern systems, but not everything is good... If you are familiar with the OG or the XXL series (this, Las Vegum and The Olympic Games), then no introduction is needed. If you haven't experienced the series yet, then here is a summary: Asterix and Obelix XXL is a beat'em up game. You play as 2 Gauls, Asterix & Obelix, Ceasar attacks your village and abducts your friends. Your mission is to free them all and beat Ceasar. The plot is relatively simple, but the meat is in…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I completed Asterix & Obelix XXL Romastered on PlayStation 4 recently and felt I had to write a review of this great-looking PS2-era remaster. Please give it a read and let me know what you think! Have you played this game, or the original on PS2 or GameCube? 🕹️
positive · AI labelView post →I don't have any nostalgia for this game. Unfortunately It does still feel like a 3d platformer that came out in the early 2000s. There's not enough freedom with the camera. It feels very restrictive. I don't like how the game automatically switches characters. It just feels off to me. I failed the first challenge and barely had 60% of what the game was asking. Tried it again and again but not even close to fill the requirement.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Camera angles are annoying. I want to be able to have more control than that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very repetitive, technical state not good and you injure yourself by the endless button mashing necessary
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →worst game ever played controls dont work properly that old ness in controls is really showing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wasn't that fun to start with, but after playing for an hour and coming back the next day, the option to "resume game" is greyed out, and only "start a new game" is available. Someone else had the same problem and got no help on the steam forum.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, terrible remaster. The remastered soundtrack's great, the rest of the game is a buggy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MESS. Just emulate the original and save yourself the aggro and the £16.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this for free. Never played this on PS2. A decent beat em up for early years era, but the button for moves are hard to remember so I just use one move tornado which I found the most effective and OP. Boss are boring, Just recycle from the same level. And puzzle are not that complicated, but some are tedious. Like problem I need to see walkthrough just want to found where is the godamn button for releasing prisoner after Boss fight in Greece level. Good for collection BTW

neutral · AI labelView post →Asterix and Obelix XXL . Funny, dynamic game it was very fun to play in it when I was 10. You should play only in old graphics mode, because animation and camera unchanged and very outdated. It so cool that helmets are sparkle! Old graphics mode looks much better than remaster. In remaster the colors of the surroundings do not go well with each other. Nice music . Controls: WASD Space to Jump Attack E Catch R Dash F Throw Q Send in Dogmatix X Arrows to look in different…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun, smooth playing and surprisingly beautifully realised game. Is it the most complex game? No, but to make up for this there are Romans to bash, boars to hunt and all of your favourite characters to interact with and play. The voice acting is pretty good (as long as you can get past Asterix's Welsh accent) and the dialogue is interesting and funny even if the story is a little contrived. The scenery is quite lovely and really gives the feeling that you are in an Asterix book.…
