As far as licensed platformers go, The Smurfs: Dreams is looking like a pretty good one. It's set to launch on PS5 and PS4 come 24th October, but those with Sony's current-gen console can check it out right now with a free playable demo.
The trailer above provides a glimpse at the game, which sees you exploring the dreams of the titular blue creatures. This is a 3D platformer you can play alone or in local co-op, putting us in mind of games like Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
The demo, which is about 1.8GB, can be downloaded and played now on PS5. It contains a pair of levels — the dreams of Chef Smurf and Vanity Smurf — giving you a taste of what to expect from the full game.

Will you be checking out the demo for The Smurfs: Dreams? Smurf down to the comments section below.

I've got too much love for Astrobot to have any interest in this.
Nice one! This looks like a winner even if it is somewhat of a rip off
Thank smurf that trailer didn’t have the original theme song in it. I’d have that smurfin’ thing stuck in my head all day.
Looks dope, something trippy to smoke 1 playin after work, i bet its to short
Dam u amnesiac, now i gotta youtube that theme song and have it stuck in my head
brutal timing on this one since it looks like the concept is so similar to Astro Bot and obviously it will be very hard to measure up on the gameplay front
Astro Bot and Sackboy comparisons? LOL! Super Mario 3D World says hello. And that is exactly why I'm buying this.
Yo, The Smurfs 3D platformer again! 😃
Will definitely get the PS5 version.
Going to check it out with kids tonight. The Smurfs games are always small fun games to play in between the bigger games.
The last two Smurfs games were so good dude. I’m pumped for this new guy, and I love the 3D World perspective?
I feel like the camera is uncomfortably far away.
Checking out the demo now. There's even a "wahooo" in the first minute of gameplay 😂😂
It seems decent enough, but going from Astro Bot to this does it no favours.
Smurfboy a big adventure
Definitely looks great, this Astrobot & Max Mustard it's all good at the moment.
Might have to play this demo the way this first Mets game is going. 😝
I could see playing this w/ my wife. For all the people saying this sucks after Astrobot, well it probably does solo, but there is no co-op so this is it for us until Lego Horizon. I’d probably pay $5 max for it so may have to wait a few months. 🤑
Edit: Searched for this on the PSP app, 4 Smurf games came up for PS5. Who knew? 🤷🏻♂️ App just told me the demo download is done. 👍
I'm going to give this game a try grew up playing platformers still like them. I think PS and Xbox should make more platformers but I'm not sure how good they sell on those systems that's be honest if Astrobot would've came out on Nintendo it would've sold millions of copies in the first week
Tried the demo, seems decent. Little bit on the low budget side, but passable. It's biggest issue is that Astro bot did everything it does better days ago. Hopefully this get's added to PS Plus in not to distant future.
