WTMG’s Fernando da Costa: “Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg may be an oldie, but there’s absolutely no disputing that it’s a goodie. The ease with which everything functions is quite beneficial to children as it’s easily understood, allowing them to enjoy it suitably. It’s the ideal introduction to the franchise before embarking on those more involved. I loved the gameplay loop of repeatedly jumping into New Game+ to uncover unlockables. You’d think redoing the same five years would wear thin, but it’s the contrary. I wasn’t ever bored, and I’d attribute that to how bite-sized these areas are. The linearity was also grossly helped because my destination was always in sight. When I logged off to write this review, only one thought was on my mind: a petition for Koei Tecmo to remake the other Atelier titles.”
