3D Dot Game Heroes (9.5/10): "So yeah, this game is definitely a love letter to old-school gaming fans. I'm not entirely sure some of the more antiquated design choices will appeal to the modern gamer, there's a fair amount of backtracking involved in some of the sidequests that incorporates little more than running back and forth from village to village and talking to specific people. There's quests that are completely miss-able depending on your current progress, so if you're not really working on exploring every facet of that Overworld map then you'll miss a thing or two your first time out. The difficulty isn't that hard, the puzzles aren't too complex, and if you're expecting a challenge akin to Demon's Souls, then you might be a little disappointed. None of this bothered or affected me though, but I've been playing videogames since I was three years old (1983), so I'm more than willing to put up with some archaic designs if the overall product is solid, which 3D Dot Game Heroes definitely is. If this sounds like your cup of tea, then I definitely suggest picking this one up when it arrives here in May, I look forward to playing through it again. Also, the soundtrack totally rocks, and pay close attention to that loading save music."
3D Dot Game Heroes (10/10): "3D Dot Game Heroes is a fan service to old school gamers. That being said, the game is so much fun that it is enjoyable for anyone who picks up this gem of a title. The game doesn’t blow you away with its story or characters, but instead with its charm that shines through with every “dot”. The 10-12 hour quest is filled with much to do, and you’ll have fun doing it. Rounding out the game is the character creation, the mini games and more, all of which together make 3D Dot Game Heroes an outright steal at $40. Silicon Studio, Atlus and From Software have really outdone themselves; they have created a masterpiece made of blocks.
There, and I didn’t even have to mention Legend of Zelda even once…"
