“Is it possible for Capcom and WayForward to take something that worked 24 years ago, modernize it, and yet retain the heart of what made it so beloved in the first place? The answer, without a doubt, is yes.” – Chris Hoffman, GamesRadar

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion and all that, but we’ve gone to the trouble of picking out our favorite opinions on the subject of DuckTales, such as the quote up top from Game Informer’s Tim Turi who also added: “The game feels like its classic counterpart, but it has a number of improvements to make it more palatable to a modern gaming audience.”

Nice! Obviously, we largely agree with the verdicts presented here. I mean… why else would we bother to highlight them? Anyhoo, these verdicts are by no means the end of the DuckTales conversation, so feel free to chime in with your thoughts on DT:R in the comments below.

“It’s impossible to argue that DuckTales: Remastered isn’t loads of fun, a delightful trip back to an era where simply jumping in the right spot could reveal copious hidden goodies.” Heidi Kemps, Official Xbox Magazine


The game feels like its classic counterpart, but it has a number of improvements to make it more palatable to a modern gaming audience… Plus, you can just leave it on the title screen and loop the 8-bit theme song indefinitely. Woo-oo! ” – Joshua Vanderwall, The Escapist


Mechanically, the game holds up great, and I had a smile on my face nearly the entire time .” – Chris Carter, Destructoid


The combo of hand-drawn, 2D sprites coupled with 2.5D backgrounds was the perfect way to go. The animation’s smooth and it almost feels like you’re playing an episode of the cartoon. Bringing back the original voice actors was so important and every single one of them did such a great job ” – “Stuttering” Craig Skistimas, ScrewAttack

Don’t worry. It is. ” – Alex Knapp, Forbes
