Hello! :D, I've been playing a lot of lemmings games recently and I wanted to know something from the community
What's the general consensus around the "reboot" era of lemmings? (2006-2014, which includes PSP/PS2 lemmings, PS3 lemmings, lemmings touch, and a few of the j2me games)
Honestly in my opinion I think they are fine games and I enjoyed them! (I didn't enjoy that much of the j2me games tho..) but honestly I wished they were bigger and more fleshed out
I also I quite like the design of the lemmings in these games, I'd say they are my favorites alongside with the classic designs (especially the ones from PS3 lemmings)
So I wanted to know you guys what's your thoughts on that era of lemmings, do you think it was a good era for the franchise? Or a bad one?
Also sorry if my English isn't that great, it's not my first language :<
I played PS3 Lemmings and Lemmings Touch.
PS3 Lemmings was fairly decent. The levels weren't the most interesting, but it retained the Lemmings feel in HD.
Lemmings Touch, I wasn't super impressed with. A lot of the mechanics were way too gimmicky, it really felt like one of those games that tries to use every feature of the system it's on just for the sake of doing so.

Yeah I feel like lemmings touch's original levels did feel a little too gimmicky, with some of them being even a bit annoying, but honestly most of them are just fine or ok in my opinion
As for PS3 lemmings, some of the levels did feel a little boring, but i honestly think most of them are okay as well, and also the balancing of levels is definitely not that great, with some levels in earlier difficulties being pretty hard and later difficulties having some easy ones (at least on my experience)
Welcome to the forums!
We've had the fair share of PSP Lemmings fans: Luis, and probably others that I'm forgetting. Fans ported the PSP styles into NeoLemmix.
PS2 Lemmings with the Eye Toy camera looks like some high-up manager at Sony had the obvious idea. I don't remember die-hard fans on the forums for it. PS3 Lemmings flew under my radar entirely. Had you told me about Lemmings on the Playstation, I would have assumed PS2.
Custom Lemmings-1-like engines for Windows appeared, with level editors and communities. Cheapo was the first in 2003, then Lemmini and Lemmix, then Lix in 2009, then NeoLemmix in 2012. I was busy in this scene instead, and I have never owned a Sony console.
