WTMG’s Leo Faria: “By no means is Narita Boy a bad game, but it’s filled with way too many incoveniences that tarnish what could have easily been one of the best indie games of the year. It’s certainly enjoyable in its current state, not only as a stylish metroidvania game, but also as one hell of a synthwave treat to your ears. But its noticeable input lag, nonsensical plot, and most importantly, its overabundance of flashing lights got on my nerves pretty quickly. If you decide to pick this bad boy up (and you’ll certainly want to if you’re a fan of 80’s nostalgia), consider grabbing a Switch copy instead. You’ll probably be able to deal with the strobing effects more easily on a smaller screen. ”
