Limited Run #559: Save Me Mr. Tako: Definitive Edition (PS4)

A pacifist octopus in a world at war. That's the pitch, and somehow it works beautifully. Limited Run #559: Save Me Mr. Tako: Definitive Edition for PS4 brings the Game Boy-inspired platformer to a region-free physical disc that also runs on PS5, preserving one of the most charming indie titles of the last decade in the format it deserves.

Save Me Mr. Tako wears its retro inspiration on every pixel. The chunky sprite work, the simple-but-deep platforming, the oddball humor, it all channels that era when handheld games could tell surprisingly heartfelt stories inside four shades of green. The Definitive Edition polishes everything up while keeping that nostalgic soul intact.

Tako's journey through a conflict between humans and octopuses is the kind of weird, wonderful premise that only indie games dare to attempt. You play as a little cephalopod who defies his own people to do the right thing, and the game rewards your curiosity at every turn. For PS4 collectors building out their Limited Run numbered set, #559 fills a slot with genuine personality. For everyone else, it's a physical copy of a game that feels like discovering a lost Game Boy classic you somehow never played as a kid. Either way, it belongs on the shelf.
