Critic Reviews for Patapon 1+2 Replay
Patapon 1+2 Replay brings back the classic rhythm action games that shows their high quality stands the test of time.
The inclusion of both the original and its superior sequel make Patapon 1+2 a great value release at the very least, but Bandai Namco could have done so much more to make these games as palatable as possible for modern audiences.
If you're going to play it on Nintendo Switch, make sure you do so in handheld mode and without Bluetooth headphones: that way you'll enjoy two unique rhythm and action gems just as their creators intended. It's a shame that input lag calibration on the TV is so archaic, so trial and error, because it can easily drive you crazy...

But it’s hard to knock the games too hard for retaining original experience intact in this respect, as the remasters improve pretty much everything else. This collection leaves you with what is now the definitive way to experience Patapon and Patapon 2.
An easy recommendation for fans of the series, Patapon 1 + 2 Replay still carries much of the same charm - and annoyances - of the original releases.
While Patapon 1+2 Replay is a pretty straightforward rerelease of its PSP counterparts, it remains an incredibly unique and deeply engaging set of games.
Patapon 1+2 Replay is a fun and nostalgic return to a beloved series. While it doesn't introduce anything new to the franchise or the rhythm-strategy genre, and carries over several of the original games' shortcomings, it still manages to deliver over 40 hours of engaging, rhythm-based action, enriched with light strategy and RPG elements.

There's much more to "Patapon" than one might initially imagine, and that's why the remake collection is still both playable and highly recommended. If you haven't tried "Patapon" yet, you should do so now!
