GameFocus: "If during the first moments of playing a game, reading a book or even watching a film, it brings back memories of another similar product, that can either be a blessing or a curse. If you have fond memories then more than likely your time with the new item should be the same. On the other hand, if this similarity raises your expectations, then it could seriously hurt it the product your about to enjoy. This is what happened while playing Tales From Space - About a Blob, a puzzle-platformer, released exclusively on PSN. While there are some really interesting aspects to the game, there are a few issues that prevent it from being as good as it could (and should) be."
Game Informer - One of this year's indie breakout games in DrinkBox Studios' Guacamelee, which is one of the best reviewed games of the year. However, don't sleep on the studio's first game, Tales From Space: About a Blob, an inventive platformer.
Game Chronicles - Imagine, if you will, a whimsical blend of Katamari Damacy’s item collection and Gish’s liqud platforming, with a little of Metroid’s power-based exploration and Yoshi’s Island egg-tossing thrown in for kicks. That’s roughly the kind of experience you’ll get out of Tales from Space: About a Blob, from DrinkBox Studios. In About a Blob, you control the titular blob.
Latest PlayStation Home update from PS Blog.
I downloaded this last week. For $15, I'd say it's more of an 8.
Game is well polished, and quite solid, I'd also say an 8.
LocoRoco + Katamari = Tales from Space: About a Blob
