Nobody Saves the World Seemingly Primed for PS5 Release

Latest from Guacamelee dev

by Stephen Tailby Mon 28th Mar 2022

Drinkbox Studios is quietly a very reliable developer. Best known for the Guacamelee series, its left-field projects are pretty much all great games. Its latest title is Nobody Saves the World, a top-down action game about a character who can transmute into various unorthodox forms. It released earlier this year on PC and Xbox platforms where it received a very warm reception, but it now appears to be heading to PlayStation.

The Twitter account PlayStation Game Size pushes out information about, well, a game's file size, with the info taken from the PSN servers. The account shared that Nobody Saves the World will weigh in at 812MB on PS5:

This more or less confirms the game is heading to PS5 (and PS4 as well, presumably). There's no official word that this is happening, but again, this account wouldn't bring the game up if it didn't exist. We'd expect an announcement is coming in due course — hey, maybe it could even be a PS Plus game for April. Let's wait and see.

Awesome. I LOVED Guacamelee and heard this was good too (obviously a very different game though).

I really enjoyed parts of this but fell off it. The biggest limitation is the form upgrade system (which is often required) which makes you have to play in ways you don't want to. There's also a fair bit of grinding if you fail a boss and have to repeat a section. A good game that holds itself back by slightly flawed, frustrating design decisions imho.

Wasn’t aware this wasn’t on playstation yet. I have the UGP version installed on my XSX.

I'm another who really enjoyed the Guacamelee games. I was disappointed to see this was going to be an Xbox exclusive but great to hear it's finally coming to PS.

@themightyant Interesting, being made to play in different ways was one of the features I really liked about this. I found that there were play styles I would have overlooked that I ended up enjoying and it showed how the devs had balanced things well. I'm always frustrated with games that throw a whole tool box at you when really all you need is a hammer and to spam your favourite combo.

Played this on GamePass and really loved it. Well, actually need to get back to it to finish (too many games!) but it’s great.

@kill_Nil That's fair, it's something that usually bugs me too and initially I did like this aspect of it. Just felt it went too far. Still a good game, just not on the level of Guacamelee! for me, not sure if I'll go back and finish it.

Guess we'll have to wait & see about it being ps4 too,but given it initially seemed destined as a console exclusive on XB, this is a welcome surprise!
