WTMG’s Oliver Shellding: “I by no means think Nikoderiko is a bad game. On the contrary, I think its a lovely little piece with some strange missteps (the voice acting feels unnecessary) but an overall strong presentation. Yet the execution, particularly on the Switch, is just not a spectacular piece. It janks in weird places, the fluidity is ruined by the limitations of the hardware, and sometimes the perspective changes are too frequent and too unexpected. I adore the chances and swings, and, when it works, it works so very well. When it falls, though, you really feel the weight of it all and the legacy its trying to carry. With a performance patch, this could be an absolute banger, but for now I can only recommend it to the diehards who simply must play the latest Rare-inspired title.”
