Available for free on the PlayStation Store, Coloring Book offers an original and relaxing experience. Designed by the creators of Cup Heroes, this PS4 game is also compatible with the PS5. It’s not a big production, but an ideal title to take a break after a long intense gaming session. Accessible to all player profiles, Coloring Book is aimed at fans of trophies as well as those looking for relaxation.
Color, unlock, repeat: simplicity guaranteed
The concept is simple: you choose a drawing and fill it with colors on the screen. As you advance in colorization, you gradually unlock trophies up to the coveted Platinum trophy. As the editorial summarizes: “Just virtually color drawings and unlock trophies as you go.”
In just a few hours, the majority of players will be able to complete the game. This is a boon for those who want to improve their completion ratio without much effort.
The trap of paid extensions to avoid
Coloring Book includes many additional pages… but they are not free. These expansions are available for purchase in addition to the base game. However, they are not necessary to obtain trophies or Platinum.
In other words, no additional purchases are required to achieve the main objectives. Only perfectionists or 100% hunters are likely to be frustrated by the presence of paid additional content.
A modest but frankly nice game
Coloring Book doesn’t revolutionize the genre, but it does the job perfectly. With its simple artistic direction, intuitive gameplay and total accessibility, it offers a welcome moment of calm in a landscape dominated by AAA titles. And above all, it allows you to leave with a Platinum trophy without going through 40 hours of grinding.
The game is only available on PS4, but works perfectly on PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility. A good deal to grab without hesitation during the holidays.
