Mini Review: Shrek 2 Remastered (PS5) – Far Far Away Gets an All-Star Makeover

Shrek 2 Remastered brings the 2004 film tie-in game to PS5 with updated presentation and new online co-op, retaining its playful action and character-based puzzles. The review finds it a charming, varied adventure that recalls a time when movie games could stand alongside their source films.

Players switch between Shrek, Fiona and Donkey, using their distinct abilities across locations inspired by the film, with occasional help from other characters. The game adds local and online co-op for up to four players, plus a Photo Mode; performance is generally stable, though frame drops and an awkward camera remain.
