WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Another Code: Recollection isn’t exactly how I would have imagined it or wanted it. Truthfully, the lack of touchscreen interaction was disappointing, and there were times where the puzzles were simply lackluster and basic, though it happened infrequently enough that I didn’t hold it against the game. I wish I could have jumped straight into the Lake Juliet section, but knowing what Ashley and Richard went through first is essential to having empathy for both child and parent. It’s truly a remarkable story of love, loss and coming to terms, framed through a scientific subterfuge tale that’s full of betrayal and greed. This is a tale that can’t be told through film or novelization, but through walking in the characters’ shoes and experiencing it as best you can. In the end, it’s the moments that we hold onto – both good and bad – that keep Recollection in the positive spectrum of my memory."

It's a shame, but really great to see Arc System Works allowing them to keep making their games! The company itself might be gone, but the original team members, working with their Nintendo owned IPs was one of the best surprises last year!
"Another Code: Recollection keeps what stills works, and remakes what doesn't, and the result breathes life into two cult classics."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
MonsterVine: "Another Code: Recollection is a beautiful remake that I can hardly believe exists, bringing two niche games back when they could easily have been forgotten."
