In LocoRoco 2 Remastered, the player assumes the role of a merry yellow ball, which travels through colorful locations and feeds on fruits to increase its size – the bigger it gets, the slower it becomes, not to mention the increased difficulty of fitting in some tight spots. Depending on player’s needs, the main protagonist can be split into smaller balls, as well as merged together again.
The secret of the game’s success lies in the interesting control system. To push the ball forward, one has to tilt their controller in a way that mimics gravity. Using this system and combining it with platform jumping, players can traverse various locations, discover secret levels, and avoid encountered obstacles.
The PS4 release of LocoRoco 2 Remastered offers graphics we all know from the original game, featuring flat, yet colorful backgrounds. Naturally, the game’s resolution has been adjusted to modern TV screens.

Game Ratings for LocoRoco 2 Remastered Video Game.
Impulsegamer: 3.9 / 5 by Sean Warhurst
Sometimes, after hours spent blasting Nazis, Zombies, Aliens and Alien Nazi Zombies, you just want to unwind with a relaxing title that's not going to hinge on how quick your reflexes are. LocoRoco 2 is that title, for me at least, although it must be said that, beneath the deceptively simplistic veneer, the gameplay can actually get quite challenging at times.
TheSixthAxis: 7 / 10 by Dave Irwin
LocoRoco 2 Remastered certainly gets the job done and while it is shorter than the original, there's a ton of side content present. Its charming, minimalist detail looks great on the whole and runs as smoothly as one could hope for. The omission to that is with the low resolution cutscenes, which is somewhat ironic considering the emphasis on 4K in the marketing, but LocoRoco 2 Remastered is more of the same, which can only be a good thing.
Flickering Myth: 7.5 / 10 by Shaun Munro
LocoRoco 2 Remastered may not deviate much from the formula firmly established by its predecessor, largely succeeding and faltering in the same areas, but for fans of the series, this new high-fidelity version is a great excuse to blast through the breezy title once again.
Average score from votes.
