de Blob 2
Developer Blue Tongue Entertainment, Blitworks
De Blob 2 (stylized as de Blob 2) is a platform puzzle video game and the sequel to the Wii 2008 video game De Blob. As with its predecessor, De Blob 2 was developed for home consoles by Blue Tongue Entertainment and published by THQ, this time in association with the TV network Syfy. Unlike de Blob, however, de Blob 2 was also released for other consoles other than the Wii; the game was released for the PlayStation… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

So the basic gist of my review is that whether or not this game is better than the first depends on what you liked and disliked about the first. The thumbs down I give on my review only applies if you feel the same way about the original as I do. As a fan of the first, as well as a speedrunner for it, de Blob 2 is NOT a linear improvement over the first game. The controls and general mechanics are improved, but the …

I've owned both De Blob and De Blob 2 for the Wii back when they released and I gotta say it still has all of its charm. The colors and design is really unique and enjoyable to look at, the music is fantastic, and being able to relax and play with a keyboard and mouse/controller is much better than the Wii motion controls. There are some issues with audio bugs such as when you get inked after getting to water you …

It always felt to me that this series never got the love it deserves. While the (de) original Blob was a good proof of concept, de Blob 2 is pretty much what I'd call a perfect sequel. It improves on pretty much every aspect of the original. The levels, models and textures are much higher fidelity. The menus are easier to navigate. Gone are the button mashing (press X 50 times) to update landmarks - replaced by new, …

Yes, the audio has issues on the PC port. Yes, the PC controls are horrendous, meaning having an XBOX controller goes from being an optional feature to a requirement. Yes, there are barely any PC settings. Yes, the story is absolutely a retread, and the bosses are copy-pasted. So why do I like this game? Well, everything else. Controls with a controller are butter-smooth. The level designs pre-color and post-color …

Look, the game itself? It's alright enough. But the reason I keep talking about this game, even though I first played it more than a decade ago, is because the art and music were seemingly developed above everything else. This game is *the best game* at motivating you via audiovisuals, if you're doing good you get more color, more music, more good vibes. If you get hurt or take some damage, the music calms down, the …

91% of the 160 Steam reviewers we collected recommend de Blob 2. The complaint that keeps coming up: audio bugs, especially after getting inked. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
De Blob 2 received "favorable" reviews on all platforms, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. However de Blob 2 financially performed much more poorly than the original game. On release it sold under 75,000 copies in the US on its first month and failed to reach the Top 40 in the UK. Similar to de blob, its soundtrack is held in similar high regard.

60 of 165 · most liked firstDe Blob 2 is a game where you play as a sentient blob of paint to bring color back from an authoritarian regime that disguises itself as a religion. It also turns its citizens into mindless drones. The hypnosis in this game goes way harder than it has any right to.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying the game so far. The immersive soundtrack is fantastic, and I really like the level design. Having some issues with changing the graphics settings (I can't change the resolution or quality), but ijt's not a huge hinderance. Definitly worth buying while it's still on sale!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In The Blob 2, De Blob says "It's blobbin' time" and then blobs all over those guys.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is totally a child's game, but I, a grown man, have immensely enjoyed painting the city and squashing Inkies. The world is amazing, the art style and architecture are well designed, the music is so *bouncy*, the game is just all around a great time. Highly recommend!

I played it for about... idk like a 1500 hours maybe, on the wii and finally got it on PC even though the PC version has a lot of annoying bugs that weren't in the original, however i still think it has a lot better graphics and a lot of details that you couldn't make out on the Wiis 480p graphics. Everything about it is increadibly satisfiying. Even after constantly playing it for over 10 years, i still…

(will talk about the music in depth later.) and game-play has improved in almost all aspects, notable ones being; -IMPROVEMENTS- blob wall jumping vastly improved, as he no longer sticks to walls automatically, (hold A to stick now.) blob no longer rolls over paint-bots, instead choosing to have to target them, like the enemies, avoiding…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Works very well on my Linux machine -- almost flawless!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only gripes that I have with this game is the stiff air control and a sound glitch where Blob wont stop complaining after you fall into ink, even after you cleanse him from ink. Other than those few things, this is a solid game! I'ma fix up or remove this review should these changes be addresssed!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall this was a fun game and a great sequel of the original game. It keeps that engaging gameplay loop of the first one while adding some new mechanics, all featuring that same charm, distinct style and fantastic music this series is known for. Although I did enjoy the game a lot, there are some things that made me feel pretty mixed in regards of which one was better. My main issue with the game is that the levels are even longer than in the first one, all of them took me over an hour to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Introduction: Having thoroughly enjoyed de Blob 1, I approached its sequel with high expectations. de Blob 1's 100% completion provided a diverse set of challenges that never felt tedious or unwelcome. The main goal was to paint each level 100%, and then beat each level in under 30 minutes. This resulted in 1 run where you had to make sure to paint every block carefully and scan the area for secrets. And a second run where you had to paint enough to unlock the next section of the level without…

(which btw is amazing) I was extremely excited when i saw that one of my childhood games was ported over to steam. but shortly after installing my computer started overheating extrmely (also i have a beast computer with gtx 1070) and with the design of the game making it so you only have one go at the level or you have to restart the whole thing made it so i would do the same level 3 times just to get it done and it elimates all the fun. if…

I used to play it on my wii and I wanted to reminisce the good old days and I knew I had to buy this game! Would 100% recommend, super fun and enjoyable from start to finish!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just finished De Blob 2 tonight; honest to god, what a set of underrated games here. Didn't think the guys who made those shitty Nicktoons Unite games had it in them to make some genuine gems under their belt and considering this was their last game, its a high note to end on even if (CONT.)
positive · AI labelView post →De blob 2 is the best game to ever exist in the history of universe, and no one can change my opinion about this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game :D Something about just booting up your PC to color means something to me.

If you find yourself thinking right now ‘hold on, I thought that was the plot of the first game’, rest assured you are in fact reading a review for de Blob 2. Long story short: it is more of the same, plus/minus some issues. Thankfully, they fixed more than they broke and I can actually recommend this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh boy did I love this game when it came out on the Wii back in 2011 (6 years!). Needless to say, my love for this game hasn't changed a bit! This review may be a bit biased, but I'll try to highlight lesser points of this game as well. The game is very colourful (kinda obvious since colouring is literally one of the objectives of the game) and has a beautiful artstyle. There's plenty of content (even a small multiplayer mode!) and the level design is good. But what totally makes you fall in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was my favorite game on my Wii and it still holds up today, there are some issues with the port to PC but nothing that ruins the super charming original experience. This may not be a perfect game but I think its a perfectly sequel, as it took what didn't work with the first game and completely rethought it, making many previously annoying features like the wall jump actually feel good to use. I went into this expecting nothing more than a little nostalgia trip but I was pleasantly suprised…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For those into very silly, cartoony puzzle-platformer games, this game is it. However, there are some caveats that come with this particular port. As a general review first, dB2 is a wonderfully good game. It's funny (albeit immature at points, if that drives you off), whimsical and has a light yet compelling story. Gameplay is fast, responsive and intuitive once you get the hang of it, while rising to becoming challenging by the third act of the game. Blob and Pinky have a great dynamic as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: Really annoying sound bug when you get hit with Ink that makes Blob repeat a disgust sound -forever.- Putting SFX down to 0 or 1 is a solution which SUCKS. Secondly, a handful crashes occur, happens usually around entering 2D sections. Review: I really enjoy this game as a re-exploration of a childhood classic on the Wii and later this sequel on other consoles. If you've played the first or both I do recommend checking em out, however the bugs listed above are still really annoying…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A childhood classic for me, but boatloads of fun even in a vacuum. However, the Steam version has been abandoned and is plagued with a few bugs. The gameplay and soundtrack are awesome. Play with a controller.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →De Blob 2 is such a groovy game dude, a game about overthrowing a color sucking dictatorship with your gaggle of colorful radicals is a game we all need in this day in age :> Its a solid 3d platformer two with great music and excellent set pieces too!
positive · AI labelView post →The first De Blob was one of my favorite Wii games, and as made evident by the fact that I mastered that one and have barely sunk 10 hours into this one, my opinions here are mixed. Final verdict first: this game is good, you'll enjoy it if you like the first game, but you probably won't feel compelled to see it to the end. What this game does wrong, if anything, is simply being too much too soon. The first game had just the right amount of content, explores every idea it can, and nearly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you declare a global crusader brainstorm on how to make the most boring game of all times - you couldn't have come up with a better solution than this one, it's the golden standard! Also bluetooth joypads doesn't seem to get recognition by the program at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wii version is superior. Regardless, I loved revisiting this game on the PC.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's very nice, I played it when it first released on the Wii. The areas are memorable :D There's a pretty annoying bug though that makes it so the hurt sound plays on loop for the rest of the level if you get inked once, a solution can be found in this thread (page 2): https://steamcommunity.com/app/563190/discussions/0/1458454827733096482/
