Mini Review: Toy Story 3 Complete Edition (PS5) – An All-Time Great Movie Tie-In Gets a Fresh Lick of Paint
Toy Story 3 Complete Edition brings the well-regarded 2010 movie tie-in to PS5 with a visual upgrade, showing that the game remains enjoyable 16 years later. Its mix of platforming and a sizeable town-building mode gives the remaster appeal beyond nostalgia.
Players can switch between Woody, Buzz and Jessie across eight levels, which vary between open-ended objectives and linear platforming. The Toy Box mode adds quests, customisable buildings, cosmetics and townsfolk; the update improves resolution and textures, though cut-scenes remain muddy and the camera occasionally causes problems.
- The 2010 Toy Story game gets a PS5 remaster.
- Eight varied levels feature Woody, Buzz and Jessie.
- Toy Box adds quests and extensive town customisation.

Toy Story 3 is a 2010 animated film from Pixar about Woody, Buzz Lightyear and their fellow toys as their owner, Andy, grows up and prepares to leave for university. The story follows the toys as they face an uncertain future and try to stay together.
The film inspired a video game in which players control Woody, Buzz and Jessie through platforming levels. It also includes Toy Box, a separate mode where players can build up a town, take on quests and customise buildings and characters. The game’s appeal draws on both its links to the film and these activities beyond its main story.
