70/100
Narita Boy's digital twist on a classic fantasy tale is engrossing if a bit disorientating.

8/10
A thoroughly entertaining and highly playable Metroidvania, that goes beyond being a simple retro homage and offers some memorable gameplay twists and storytelling surprises.

7.8/10
Narita Boy has more style than it knows what to do with, and that helps carry it past its gameplay flaws

Not good
The game itself has some interesting qualities but overall it's not that good and has too many cons for me to give it a positive rating. Overall it's an interesting approach to a Tron like metroidvania game however there's simply too many issues and negative aspects to the game for me to really say i'd play it through multiple times or that i'd recommend it to others. Unfortunately due to GOG's limited review section, i cannot include my detailed review but it's up on the steam game page.
