Limited Run #461: A Boy and His Blob Deluxe Edition (PS4)

WayForward's reimagining of the NES classic is one of gaming's most quietly beautiful platformers, and now it has a physical PS4 home. Limited Run #461: A Boy and His Blob Deluxe Edition for PS4 gives this Wii-era gem the disc-based preservation it deserves, wrapped in a package that's lean but purposeful.

The soundtrack is the standout extra here. A Boy and His Blob's score is lush, orchestral, and criminally overlooked, and having it as a physical inclusion feels right for a game this gentle. The 18x24 reversible poster showcases the hand-drawn art style that made the 2009 reimagining so visually distinct, while the dust sleeve adds a clean finishing touch to the presentation.

This is a game where you hug your blob companion. That's a dedicated button. Hug. WayForward poured genuine heart into a remake that most publishers would've treated as throwaway nostalgia, and Limited Run gave it a physical edition that respects that effort. For PS4 collectors building out a platformer library, the Deluxe Edition is a quiet gem. Not every collector's piece needs to scream from the shelf. Some just need to sit there, looking beautiful, waiting for someone to remember how good it felt to share jellybeans with a blob.
