Nintendo Switch Critic Reviews

Quotation forthcoming.

Short yet intense. Bubble Ghost Remake is unforgiving, yet each small victory feels incredibly rewarding. A true love letter to retro gaming, perfect for players who enjoy a real challenge.

Bubble Ghost Remake is a reinvention of a cult proposal almost forgotten in time that becomes a new indie exponent for lovers of skill-based challenges. Simplicity and good ideas go hand in hand to make you suffer and enjoy in equal parts.

I see and respect what Bubble Ghost Remake attempted here. Take an obscure game, reimagine it, make it big and beautiful, and offer something fresh to puzzle fans. But as it turns out, “bigger” was a crucial mistake. Not everyone will see this and seek out the original, but if they do, they’ll plainly observe how a smaller, stage-based challenge structure turns something kind of wonky and frustrating into a true hidden gem. And considering how my biggest takeaway is how grateful I am to have Game Boy Bubble Ghost in my rotation now, I suggest anyone and everyone do just that.
