DreamWorks Trolls Remix Rescue (PS5)

DreamWorks Trolls Remix Rescue is a colourful adventure published by GAMEMILL ENTERTAINMENT, and this PS5 disc lets you play as Poppy, Branch and other favourite Trolls. A melodic mastermind is trying to change the harmony of the Trolls' music, and it is up to you to explore, smash, dance and battle your way to rescuing Troll Kingdom.

Save the Troll Kingdom

The quest takes you through the wonders of several Troll kingdoms, including Poppy and Branch's Pop Village, Barb's Volcano Rock City and Cooper's Mothership City, with more places beyond. You can choose from Poppy, Branch, Guy Diamond and other characters as you travel.

Music sits at the heart of it. The soundtrack features songs from the DreamWorks Trolls films, such as Get Back Up Again and Hair Up, so the adventure moves to the beat of the franchise.

Why play it on PS5

Four players on one console, with no online connection needed, makes this an easy choice for family time. The listing shows offline play only, so everyone simply picks up a controller and joins in.

With an age rating of 3 (generic), it is suitable for the youngest players. On-screen languages include English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.

Because it is a platform adventure with puzzles and rhythm mini-games rather than a pure fighter, it works for mixed ages at the same table. One player can focus on exploring while another hunts for the items that unlock new abilities, and the character creator gives everyone a chance to make their own Troll look unique.

Game details

This is an easy addition to a family library of PlayStation 5 games. Grab extra pads from the PlayStation controllers collection so all four players can join, and check the PlayStation consoles range if you need a console to run it on.
