Patapon is pure joy. Playing it again feels like stepping back into 2008 with all its charm and energy. A wonderful return to that rhythm!

One of the best games on PSP, ported to PC! This review is both as a port, and for its gameplay for those who haven’t played Patapon before. Pros + It mixes rhythm and army management genre; kinda a weird mix but it works. + It plays very smooth under 60 fps with insanely fast loading screens. + Minimal battery usage when playing on the Steam Deck + You can import your save from Patapon 1 to Patapon 2 and gain some …

PATAPON 1+2 Replay ----------------------------- Picked this up on a whim and suddenly it was 2007 again. My PSP running patapon 1 and 2 and 3... The drums kick in and my brain just goes, yep, I remember this. Patapon 1 + 2 Replay feels exactly how I hoped it would feel. Same charm, same goofy little warriors, same urge to keep marching. The updates are nice as well, the boss rush. I lost a few hours without …

Blast From The Past ! Finally this game release on PC Platform, i do get some nostalgic vibes playing this game again after a while, but somehow something's still missing playing this again after a long time.

Very scummy practices. Might just refund and stick to the original PSP games.

neutral · AI labelView post →This port is just sad. I was incredibly happy to finally have Patapon games officially on PC, and while I basically managed to complete Patapon 1, I have already made up my mind to give it a negative review. I'll play the second game as well, but I doubt my mind will change. The visuals are very good, another HD remaster had some hideous graphical artifacts, this one seems free of them. Sound stands out as the OG quality, very crunchy, no idea if it was touched at all. Gameplay seemed fine…

neutral · AI labelView post →Whilst i absolutely love this game, i cannot recommend this port at all. It does have some nice quality of life changes but it has insanely bad input delay (when using headphones, at least). It makes the 1st game completely unplayable. You can "adjust the input delay" but it doesn't fix the issue, your button inputs will still be noticeably be delayed and their sound will be off-sync, so you just end up going off-rhythm anyway. It is the exact same issue any kind of third party emulation of…

Roguelites like that are a whole genre now. No, I didn't experience any latency. Or if i did, I just adjusted to it. What I can't adjust out of is the horrible frame stuttering and animations glitches. At first I thought... wow, this looks like a port of an poorly made emulator version. But it literally is. And man, does it look…

neutral · AI labelView post →Love the game, real charming, but this is a pretty lazy port for the price. I just lost around one hour of progress because autosave wasn't added to this thing and that bummed me out enough that I decided to just refund while I can. Is it unreasonable to expect a $30 remaster to add in an autosave feature to this nearly 20 year old game? I don't think so

neutral · AI labelView post →What you're paying for with this package is Patapon 2, given that Patapon 1 feels like a half-baked prototype by comparison, and even then, Patapon 2 has had its multiplayer component stripped out, so it's missing like a full quarter of the game. Moreover, there are simply no quality of life adjustments here. I hope you like playing the miracle minigame literally every 60 seconds during a stage lest you risk your rain miracle running out. Oh, and all the stupid little minigames at your base,…

Cute and unique rhythm game from the PSP era that does the heart good to see it's now more discoverable for new gamers. Hopefully this bodes well for other PSP gems like the Loco Roco series

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a very nice remake of the PSP classics. im very happy that they decided to port my childhood games on new gen consoles. hope they will bring patapon 3 sometime, in its full, multiplayer glory.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Over a year waiting for the developers to deign to release a simple update so my controller buttons show up on the drums instead of those awful arrows. If these games weren't so beloved, they wouldn't have the rating they currently do. Go play Rattan instead. Thanks for nothing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I encourage everyone to try it and decide for themselves what they think. I had to put it down personally. I remember being a kid and watching my brother play this game and thinking it looked so fun so I was really excited to get it myself. The art and music is adorable and I could listen to it for a long time Unfortunately its been more tedious than enjoyable. Mini games are very particular/time consuming and not very rewarding in what you may receive from them. Materials required to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Presently, I strongly advise against purchasing. These games are classic and absolutely worth your time, but for reasons beyond me, the overall game performance with this port is just immeasurably dreadful. Stuttering, poor graphical scaling, and choppy audio. Also, there are no verifiable Audio settings, or V-sync/frame limit settings that I could see. Quite unfortunate as I was excited to delve back into these ordinarily great titles, but will refund them for now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →These two games are really something special that no one could replicate to this day. That includes every detail, no game with this gameplay loop, no game with this artstyle, no game with this particular music genre mesh. Nothing else hits the same as these games. Even Sony thinks its too unique to sell so they don't make a fourth one :( I like Ratatan but it's a different experience.
