If you’ve ever played Lemmings and wanted to take a more hands-on approach, Moons of Darsalon may be worth a try. Coming to PS5 and PS4 on 6th February next year, the game has you playing as a little astronaut who must rescue all the others in each level.

When you find characters, they’ll follow along behind you, and it’s your job to get them all back to base safely. However, you’re actively involved in this action platformer, needing to dispatch aliens, solve puzzles, and overcome obstacles. You’ll also make use of large vehicles and blow holes in the destructible environments.

The art and animation is particularly strong here, with what seem to be 3D models converted into this sort of gritty, pixelated style. The jury’s still out on whether it’s fun to play, although the Steam version stands with a Very Positive rating, so it seems promising.

    Looks more like Oddworld than Lemmings. In fact, apart from the art style, there’s not much in the trailer that really resembles Lemmings to me.

    The game’s already available on Steam and has a demo for anyone who wants to try it out.
