    Patapon is a great rhythm-game with a little touch of nostalgia. The first minutes I've played the game i was very upset about the input lag. Than i've plugged my earphones into the controller and the input lag was gone. Only playable with earphones, but than it's a really fun rhythm-game.

    Firstly, the input lag. Using an optical cable and having your controller plugged into your PS4. the lag is barely noticeable. I feel that while the lag is fixable with setup adjustments, a calibration option could have been a simple implementation on Pyramid's behalf that might have changed the majority of the negative reviews to positive reviews.

    Next up, it is a bare bones remaster. Some resolution was enhanced, other area's the resolution seems barely touched (or retouched) at all,

    With all that being said, Patapon is still that fun rhythm based tactics game than many remember fondly playing on the PSP. The music/sound is slightly more notably repetitive while coming out of a loud soundbar, but it makes it worth it to hear FEVER cascading through the living room.    … Expand

    It's the same masterpiece as the old psp version. Wakes me up so many memories from my childhood

    Patapon is an evergreen classic. This remastered is perfect. It doesn't add anything new but the game was already great back on the psp so there's no need to

    Gorgeous eye-candy (mostly) and tunes that stay with you for decades. But years of rhythm games make the once revolutionary Patapon feel simplistic. [October 2017, p76]

    Patapon’s charm is timeless but the PS4 edition underlines the game’s drawbacks, especially tedious grind necessary to progress, which was not so painful when you played the game in short sessions on a handheld. [11/2017, p.77]

    There's been nothing quite like this conducting-meets-combat mashup since its original release, and it's still as wonderfully barmy and deeply moreish as ever. [Oct 2017, p.94]
