An improved version of the three-dimensional platform game from 2005. It is based on the popular comics about Asterix and Obelix. The game features many action sequences and a large dose of great, abstract humor.
Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Remastered is a refreshed version of the three-dimensional platform game from 2005. It was released on PS4, PC etc. and it was based on the comics created by Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. The game is filled with action and a large dose of humor and it enables the players to assume the role of the two titular Gauls. The remastered version was developed by Microids. The original version was created by Etranges Libellules.
The players assume the role of Asterix and Obelix. The game takes place during the age of the Roman Empire. All druids in Gaul had disappeared. Only Getafix, the friend of the protagonists, remains. However, he behaves weirdly and he can die at any time. It seems that, in order to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the druids, the protagonists will have to travel to the amusement park known as Las Vegum.
Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Remastered is a classic 3D platform game. The protagonists are observed from various perspectives (usually from behind their backs, but the camera is rotating during the game). The players must explore Las Vegum, avoid traps, fight Roman troops, and discover the main story plot. The city is divided into a few large districts like Little Paris, LuckSore, WCW, Little Venetia, and Pirate Island. The players can count on the help of Sam Shieffer – an ex-Roman spy who can teach the protagonists new tricks.
Some characters encountered in the game are parodies of known video game characters like Sonic, Mario, and Lara Croft (Lary Craft is one of the bosses in the game). The same goes for the above-mentioned Sam Shieffer who references Sam Fisher, the protagonist of the Splinter Cell series.
Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Remastered features only a singleplayer mode.
Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Remastered features very colorful, three-dimensional graphics. It was refreshed to fit modern platforms and standards. The soundtrack of the game references ancient times.

Game Ratings for Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Remastered Video Game.
Worth Playing: 5 / 10 by Joseph Doyle
At the end of the day, the charm and well-loved characters are not enough to save Asterix & Obelix XXL 2. It feels like a slog of collecting a certain number of items to get from point A to point B — lather, rinse and repeat. Nothing lands well, other than the updated graphics. No amount of cheesy puns and well-pandered references could save a game from itself when it's poorly made, even if it was decently remastered.
GameWatcher: 6.5 / 10 by Chris Capel
The remastered version of the Indomitable Gauls' latest adventure is here, but is it worth going back to Las Vegum?
PlayStation LifeStyle: 7 / 10 by Annette Polis
One of my favorite things about Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 is that it's not shy about its appropriation of other video game franchises. There are Romans disguised in costumes giving nods to franchises like Super Mario, Pac-Man, and Rayman. Take a few minutes to look around when you reach new areas and see what Easter eggs you can spot. The game has also made sure to match the humor of the comic series. The awful puns, roast boar for health, Obelix's complaints about being forbidden from drinking the magic potion. All of those nostalgic feelings came flooding back within minutes of starting the game. Like I'm ten again, sitting in my favorite chair with a stack of Asterix books from the library. It's most definitely a game built for the Asterix & Obelix fandom.
