Shrek Forever After (also known as Shrek 4, and Shrek Forever After: The Final Chapter) is an action-adventure video game based on the film of the same name. It was released on May 18, 2010, in North America. It is the fourth and final video game based on the movie series of Shrek.
It was the last DreamWorks Animation game released for Windows and the first Shrek game on the PlayStation 3.
This game is based on the fourth Shrek movie. Players can play as Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Puss in Boots, having support up to four players. They can travel through different worlds and solve puzzles.
It follows along Shrek who has become a domesticated family man, living happily with Princess Fiona and the triplets. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. Longing for the days when he felt like a "real ogre", Shrek's tricked into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, and because Stiltskin's now king, Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it's up to Shrek to undo all of Stiltskin's mischief in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love and family.
The game was met with mixed to positive reception.
