The most remarkable thing about LocoRoco 2, for me, is its ability to make us partakers of that feeling of admiration, that вЂњsense of wonderвЂќ that the English speak about, by nature and as it is precisely from it that curiosity usually comes, the interest to discover вЂ¦ all the elements that define us as children and that it costs us so much to maintain as adults.

for most of us now, and by using a language as basic as music, shapes or color to create with it emotional constructions as complex as some of us could create with hundreds of words at our disposal. If to this day we can continue talking about LocoRoco 2 as a classic still in force, it is because it championed an almost indie philosophy at a time when the word was as unknown to its contemporaries as the words вЂњshippeoвЂќ or вЂњpushear agendasвЂќ are. He said of the original LocoRoco that the concept of a company as large as Sony had to be celebrated by allowing games as simple and small as this to be responsible for representing its legacy, and this is another of those cases. LocoRoco 2 distills ideas on all four sides, and with a relatively solid base like the first one, it builds a set of crazy situations capable of entertaining anyone. Reasons to get lost in it, such as its excellent and so colorful art section or the catchy main themes, are certainly not lacking and I challenge anyone who says not to rhythmically kick any surface after two or three minutes with the command to a dance duel to the death. Not only is a generous duration maintained -although clearly shorter, around 6-7 hours if we decide to go to sack or almost doubling that number in the case of wanting to overcome the levels with all the collectibles thanks to the devilish precision required-, but It also adds several mini-games to the mix -with fruit payment, the micropayments of the time- specially designed for those who want to disconnect a little from the main roll and have a pleasant and fun time.

It is not a change that we can define as radical: when referring to the previous one, I was already talking about the value that the study gave to the interaction of bugs with the environment, but it is true that it gives practically the same value to the interaction as the environment itself has with us, resulting in a much more original game, more grateful to play for how it manages to surprise us in each of these phases, and much more sympathetic in approach and execution.Д«y content, this sequel moderately exceeds the first. The structure of the levels is maintained, with our yellow companions bouncing around the stage while we eat berries to increase in size, but here it is no longer worth just hopping, separating into hundreds of droplets when the situation requires it, and going through two or three obstacles: the thing now goes from fiddling with the entire stage to discover musical notes and overcome the intrinsic challenges of each of these settings, such as water in the traditional aquatic world or the stomach reflux of an upset penguin. LocoRoco 2 is deliberately more playful, in an almost literal sense of the word.

Things change once we enter flour, when we see that the value that LocoRoco gave to inactivity is replaced by the charm of surprise. The possibility of playing it in 4K and the impossibility of enjoying the cinematics at a resolution worthy enough is maintained when compared to the game itself in motion the loudspeaker of the command continues to project the voice of our beloved protagonists when singing and only the decision to replace the gyroscope with the R1 and L1 buttons to move the stage or that the fear of losing our progress disappears with the inclusion of a constant and much more generous saving system that previously indicates that we are facing a work different from the first part. Speaking quickly of the remastering as such, the truth is that the news is scarce. LocoRoco 2 is, definitely, a more curious, more self-conscious work, and not because of continuity it fails to save surprises almost a decade after its original publication date.

Having established the idea that pointed out in the analysis of the remastering of the first one about Japanese art and its integration with nature, the team responsible for the game decided, very wisely, to keep these principles intact and turn that large canvas into a sandbox that symbolizes both the idea of вЂ‹вЂ‹a Zen garden and the structures of the parks in which children play and give free rein to their imagination. Objectively, or as objective as it can be at least in this type of text, it could be said that LocoRoco 2 is a superior game than its predecessor.

Deserved second chance for a classic that, by originality and design, elevates the original formula to full power.
