I was suprised how good this actually was. Can recommend this to anyone who appreciates a bit of retro charm and ideally is a little bit familiar with those games personally. Looking back, I have nothing but fond memories of this game. The gameplay might have a few quirks, but is totally fine in the end for what it does. Has a lovely and emotional backstory. All in all a really nice little experience, I do not want to have missed.
While Narita Boy falls flat in many aspects, it has so much sauce that I can't help but still recommend it. Yes combat is very simplistic and hitboxes are a bit wonky at times, yes platforming is more of a nuisance than an actual gameplay element, and yes the fetch quest structure produces a lot of instances of running back and forth, but this still activated some neurons in my brain that laid dormant for a good while. The artstyle is stellar, the stoundtrack is fantastically moody and the animations just ooze coolness. Even the story through the creators memories really got me good, less so the technobabble wall of texts in the digital world. It's a jank experience a lot of times, but it's still really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool.
The Retro 80's synthwave vibes jam packed into this game gave me nostalgia for a time period I didn't even live through. From the sound design to the art direction, the writing, and even the old school screen filter, everything about this pays homage to games and tech of the past. The setting is much more rich with lore and potential world building than I had expected, and the story is full of "Hell yeah" moments like surfing on floppy disks, fighting with a shotgun lazer sword, and Gundam horses? It's a good game that I bought on a cheap sale which makes up for the following flaws. The combat is awkward at times, some bosses seem to have unavoidable attacks and the ending is a bit anticlimactic but all in all I'm very satisfied.
