VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Speaking of Spike Chunsoft, it really has had an exceptional 30 days. Last month the publisher brought the world the near-great Natsu-Mon, and now it’s delivered an even better experience in Bakeru. Thanks to engaging combat, impressive level variety, rewarding exploration, an immersive hub area, and vibrant art, it’s one of the very best games of 2024. The story isn’t anything special and frame rate issues cause some frustration here and there, but these are relatively inconsequential problems in such a joyful, entertaining, inventive adventure.”
