Mini Review LocoRoco Midnight Carnival PSP A Frustrating Yet Jubilant Jamboree
Bouncing back.
LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival, a spin-off entry in the series from Japan Studio, released on the PSP in 2009 to mixed reviews. So it comes as a pleasant surprise to see it revitalised for PS5 and PS4 in the form of an enhanced emulation, with up-rendering, rewind, quick-save, Trophies (including a Platinum) and custom video filters.
For those that aren't familiar, LocoRoco is a bizarre puzzle platformer where you're tasked with manoeuvring the colourful titular blobs by tilting the environment to bounce, roll, and jump them to their destination, avoiding various hazards along the way. The series is well-known for being a bright, upbeat, and playful experience, but Midnight Carnival takes a slightly darker approach, with 16 new Halloween-themed levels, a tougher difficulty, and a handful of quirky mini-games to boot.
