The title is an amazingly addictive diversion that competently recalls gaming's golden age, while adding just enough visual and aural retrofitting to satisfying contemporary players. Hopefully, Gaijin's final two games of the Bit.Trip franchise will retain the level confidence exhibited by this title".
With the inclusion of the original game and a set of new mechanics that slot in naturally, Bit.Trip Rerunner is a stellar example of a remake.
