It’s an incredibly exciting week for old school RPG fans, with Square Enix releasing Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake<\/a> on the Switch, Switch 2 and multiple other platforms. This reimagined package comes loaded with not only the trademark HD-2D visuals, but also new features, new locations and new story content<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ahead of our own review going live later today, the very first critic review has now been shared online. As usual, it comes from the famous Japanese publication Famitsu<\/a>. So, what is the final verdict?<\/p>\n

This follow-up to the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake<\/a>, which is also part of The Erdrick Trilogy, has officially received a score of 9\/9\/8\/8 from the four critics, giving the game a total score of 34\/40 (Ryokutya2089 via Gematsu<\/a>). And if you’re wondering, the remake of the third game received<\/a> 8\/9\/9\/9, adding up to a final score of 35\/40.<\/p>\n

So, that’s the score from Famitsu for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. If you’re planning to get this game on the Switch or Switch 2, just remember that there’s no upgrade path for this one. The Switch 2 version is also a Game-Key Card release.<\/p>\n

Will you be getting this game on the Switch or Switch 2 this week? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
