Right from the start it’s clear that the audio plays a huge part in Putty Squad, just like games of old. Much more impressive and immersive are the sound effects. The resolution is certainly used but nothing is rounded or smoothed so it makes little difference. It looks fun and lively but unless you want a retro kick Putty Squad will not impress. Even given the retro theme there’s only so long games can look like James Pond and get away with it. Unfortunately there’s nothing particularly special to look at either. A little change here and there can go a long way with a retro rerelease but there really doesn’t seem to be any in Putty Squad. Blobbing about with your cutesy little character it very quickly becomes clear that it is very unlikely you will be surprised with Putty Squad.

There’s certainly nothing we haven’t seen before. I’d be surprised if anything I mentioned above excites anyone. To be honest the gameplay is a little on the mundane side. Not to mention absorbing food and other one use items by sort of, blobbing on them. Or sort of blob up and down ladder like obstacles. Morph through certain objects and reappear elsewhere. You can inflate yourself enabling flight to a limited degree. You play, unsurprisingly, as a piece of putty with various strange abilities to tackle your obstacles with.

In essence Putty Squad is a 2D scrolling platformer.

Luckily System 3 Software have rereleased Putty Squad. But I managed to tear myself away from all the explosions and big budget sound effects long enough to give it a go. I have to admit that after waiting so long to get my hands on my PS4 Putty Squad wasn’t exactly on the top of my to play list.
