    Patapon is simple, elegant, and utterly delightful.

    Patapon Remastered is a worthy remastering of a classic game that deserves to be checked out. If you can’t take an intense difficulty curve, however, you may find yourself frustrated at a lack of progress early in on the campaign. Sticking with it, and getting used to Patapon’s many mechanics being used, however, will likely result in a slow but steady mastering of all your drums.

    There's been nothing quite like this conducting-meets-combat mashup since its original release, and it's still as wonderfully barmy and deeply moreish as ever. [Oct 2017, p.94]

    Even though we didn't experience any input lag during our playtime with Patapon Remastered, we're not fully satisfied with this remaster, which adds nothing in term of new content and doesn't alleviate the little problems the original had. Still, Patapon is as fun as it was ten years ago.

    Patapon Remastered is let down by an input lag issue and some low resolution assets ruining an otherwise fantastic game.

    Patapon is still a great game on PS4 and its rhythm sticks to you like it did on PSP 10 years ago. If you don't know the classic, here's the perfect chance to let yourself get entangled with its war drums, aesthetics and originality, as long as you're up for a not so competitive price.

    In the passage from the portable consoles to PlayStation 4 the gameplay has been torn and demolished by a shameful lag input, which literally prevents playing by transforming a crystalline distillate of fun and freshness into a clumsy clutter of frustration.
