Another Code: Recollection

Two amazing CING games comeback in an interesting reimagining with astonishing art direction and graphics, the amazing and full of plot twists story from Rika Suzuki with new direction and, although not innovative as the DS/Wii were, still fun and intuitive gameplay. Already played the DS/Wii version? No worries, the new puzzles and direction makes for a new and interesting experience.

Another Code: Recollection is a well-made remaster that skillfully combines both games of the series, presenting the full story in a nice and cohesive package.

In the first decade of the 2000s, Cing was synonymous with atmospheric adventures and extraordinary gameplay ideas. Two of those now arrive on Switch with a complete graphic makeover and modernized gameplay. Slow pace, plenty of atmosphere and intriguing storylines are strengths of two productions that have kept (quite) intact their charm.

Another Code: Recollection is a smart and well-made revival for the beloved series that be believed was long forgotten by Nintendo: we are happy to know that it wasn't and that new players and long-time fans alike can now enjoy these two games on their Nintendo Switch.

A fantastic work of renovation of two games that have almost 20 years behind them to turn them into an adventure that could have been released in 2024: the three-dimensional reconstruction of the scenarios, the detail of the environments, the new design of the characters and the re-recording sound transform it into a current game.

Another Code: Recollection collects the original Another Code with its sequel Another Code: R which never saw a North American release. While the original DS title was an absolute classic with clever puzzles that require unique usage of the DS's features, the simplified and dumbed-down Switch rerelease turns the puzzle game into a basic visual novel. While the first game's story is unique, the sequel is painfully slow to get through. Despite my love for the original, this is a very hard game to recommend, especially given its $60 price point.

Everyone’s a bit anxious, the pacing is all over the place and humour is in rare supply. Buffy, this ain’t.

Absolutely amazing story and the puzzles are fun. Goty so far for me. One of my favorites games I have played.

A good remake of Another Code, even though the first one loses some of the DS gimmicks. But hey, the addition of hints and such is appreciated by those of us who find puzzles tedious and are only interested in the story. I'd only played the first one before, and I ended up liking it more than the second.

Another Code Recollection is an excellent opportunity to play with, not one, but two Nintendo titles from a studio that no longer exists today. It's a welcome and well-made remake, which changes nothing of the original work. If you are looking for an emotionally engaging adventure with the right pace, this is a title not to be missed. The puzzles don't have the brilliance of the gameplay on Nintendo DS but are equally fun if you're a fan of the genre. Not particularly long but it will still be able to give you unique moments.

Not as good as the originals. Too much has been changed for the recollection to be as good as the originals

So slow and clunky, I just dropped it immediately. It feels really half arsed.
