3D Dot Game Heroes (9/10): "3D Dot is too good of a game to pass up. This is classic gaming brought to visually arresting life and made new in the process without doing much to the retro game mechanics. Better yet, the game is priced below full retail price and offers so much content that the value is staggering. 3D Dot stands proud for offering both a charmingly familiar and sublimely unique experience. That contrasting balance is a perfect way to pay respect to one of the most iconic gaming franchises in history, by understanding its essence of what worked so well and putting a fresh spin on it with a powerful visual style that makes a bold statement."

Critical Gamer:

3D Dot Game Heroes (8/10): "Nonetheless, it’s impossible to dislike this game. The fresh art style and sparkling script is a winning combination and gameplay, whilst intentionally familiar, is not only solid – but enjoyable. Your first playthrough will take anything from 12 – 25 hours depending on skill and sidequests, and a second playthrough is tempted via the unlocked ‘From Mode’ difficulty or ‘New Game +’. There’s also the mysterious ‘Spelunker’ mode to find out about…"

The Clik:

3D Dot Game Heroes (10/10): "I'm not taking anything at all away from the current generation of video games, but sometimes I miss the way games used to be. Back when simple, elegant gameplay coupled with fun characters and a little offbeat story could beat out anything the "uncanny valley" has to offer. 3D Dot Game Heroes brings all of that nostalgia back to a new generation of consoles. It follows a timeless formula and is, hands down, one of the best games of the year. Whether you're an old school gamer looking to relive your childhood or a newcomer to gaming just breaking in your first controller, 3D Dot Game Heroes has something to offer."
