LocoRoco Remastered for PS4 is, as the title suggest, remastered version of the 2006 PSP game LocoRoco. The PS4 version of the game has visibly improved visuals and controls that now use the motion sensor from the DualShock 4 game pad.
In LocoRoco Remastered for PS4 we have to shake the pieces of the game’s world to move the game’s heroes, round, yellow spheres, from one place to another. We have to be very careful in order to avoid traps and safely get our spherical protagonists to the finish lines of the various locations we will play in (i.e. a tropical jungle or an area covered in snow).
We can also feed them with fruit to make them bigger. Doing so will give us more points when finishing a level. However, the bigger our heroes, the harder it is for us to move them around. The possibility of dividing them into smaller, indepdentend ones for a short period of time comes in handy in such situations. LocoRoco Remastered is full of riddles and puzzles, so very often we will have to rely on our wit and intelligence. The are also many hidden surprises in the game that only the most inquisitive players will find.

Game Ratings for LocoRoco Remastered Video Game.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 8 / 10 by Martin Patino
Ten years after its original release, LocoRoco is still an undeniably fun experience which has aged incredibly well, owing to its simple yet beautiful aesthetic as well as its unique and straightforward gameplay. While the remaster doesn't add much in terms of content, fans of the original might enjoy replaying one of the PSP's most delightful exclusives at a higher resolution and with the new motion controls. And those who weren't able to play it on the PSP will definitely enjoy the endearing yet brief experience of LocoRoco in its best form yet.
TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Jim Hargreaves
With heavy hitters like Horizon, Nioh, Yakuza 0, and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, there's no shortage of fantastic exclusives on PlayStation 4 this year. That said, Sony continues to galvanise this lineup with a stalwart range of remasters. As with PaRappa, LocoRoco hasn't been idly slapped together – there's a thoughtfulness and diligence there, preserving the original look and feel of the game in a way modern audiences can now appreciate.
Metro GameCentral: 8 / 10
An imaginative and perfectly presented platform puzzler that works just as well on a home console as it did on PSP.
