Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered

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. Added extra challenges feel shallow and lack polish like quick-restart, meaning you have to walk back to the starting point MANUALLY and EVERY SINGLE TIME making more than one attempt boring and tedious. Retro mode does not capture the original game's feeling at all, be it audio mixing, the lack of actual original HUD icons (you get a semi-reworked HUD instead that still disappears temporarily when talking to the shopkeeper) and many other small issues that are just too many to count. The reworked look is just unplayable and feels wrong in every way, with sounds often being too soft or just worse than the original sounds and the previously mentioned audio problems. Especially destroying too many boxes leads to just ear-destructing levels of audio overlap AND THIS PROBLEM IS PRESENT REGARDLESS OF ROMASTERED OR RETRO MODE! There's way more problems I could list like awful draw distance, half-baked controller support (IT EXISTS but you need to setup Steam Input) despite releasing on every recent console, visible level borders, drastic weather changes when changing areas with no attempts to hide it, AND AND AND. I just can't be bothered to list it all, Youtube reviews did a very good job of that already. I feel sorry for anyone experiencing the A&O XXL series for the first time in this state, this is NOT how I remember it. Just play the original PS2 or Gamecube releases of XXL 1 and 2 in any way you can instead of this failure of a remaster. As long as this developer doesn't go back and clean up every major complain about this game and refuses to pump out an actually finished game when it's ready instead of half-arsing it for profits, I can only see them and the XXL Romastered series as a prime example of terrible remasters and why this stupid slop trend should just die already.

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.

[h1]☆_Review in english & deutsch!_☆[/h1] [h1]Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered is a challenging 3D platformer![/h1] 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 purchase. It is incredibly satisfying to wipe out hundreds of enemies using these abilities. The game gets progressively more challenging from level to level; you’ll often get taken out, especially on the higher difficulty settings. The Ultra HD graphics are razor-sharp and beautiful. The levels are all designed with great attention to detail. Switching back to the original graphics works seamlessly. The sound and voice acting are solid, and the music is pure nostalgia. Some of the achievements are very challenging and require many attempts. You also have to play through the game on Normal or Hard first to unlock Extreme mode. That mode has been the toughest playthrough of my gaming history so far. Warning: may cause rage! I bought the game on sale for €1.99. I recommend this game if you're looking for a challenge and enjoy Asterix and Obelix! Top. --------------------------------------------------- [h1]☆_Review in english & deutsch!_☆[/h1] [h1]Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered ist ein herausfordernder 3D-Plattformer![/h1] Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered ist ein aufgehübschtes Spiel des Originals. Wer Asterix & Obelix nicht kennt hatte keine Kindheit vor dem Tv oder Konsole. Das nostalgische Gefühl des Spiels ist super. Die Geschichte ist verständlich und leicht zu verstehen. Das Gameplay ist klasse, man prügelt sich durch die Kapitel und nutzt nach und nach neu erworbene Fähigkeiten, die man kaufen muss. Es ist sehr befriedigent hunderte Gegner mit Fähigkeiten zu vernichten. Das Spiel wird von Level zu Level herausfordener, gerade in den höheren Schwierigkeiten wird man oft erledigt. Die Grafik in ultra HD ist gestochen scharf und wunderschön. Die Level sind alle sehr detalliert gestaltet worden. Das Umschalten der Originalgrafik funktioniert sehr gut. Der Sound und die Vertonung hören sich gut an und die Musik ist pure Nostalgie. Die Errungenschaften sind teilweise sehr herausfordernd und benötigen viele Versuche. Ebenfalls muss man das Spiel erst auf normal oder schwer spielen, um den extrem Modus freizuspielen. Dieser ist mein bis her schwerster Durchgang in meiner Spielgeschichte. Achtung Aggressionsgefahr! Ich habe das Spiel im Angebot für 1.99€ gekauft. Ich empfehle das Spiel, wenn man eine Herausforderung sucht und Asterix und Obelix mag! Top.

Boring.
