There are a few big releases out this week on the Nintendo Switch and one of them happens to be Another Code: Recollection, containing the original DS and Wii games in one package.

If you're wondering whether these titles are worth revisiting, you've come to the right place! In our Nintendo Life review, we gave this new release 7 out of 10 stars and said it was a welcome return to Ashley's world.

If you're curious to know what other outlets though, here's a handful of reviews doing the rounds at the moment. VGC said it was an impressive overhaul, awarding it 4 out of 5 stars:

"With beautiful environments, endearing characters and a hint system that means players of all skill levels can reach the end, only a lack of replay value stops this from being a complete must-have."

My Nintendo News wasn't quite as taken with it or certain decisions, giving it a score of just 6 out of 10:

"The decision to combine both games into a single narrative experience seems counterproductive when there is a clear transition between them, and the quality of life changes made don’t quite do enough to disguise the ageing gameplay mechanics. These weaker elements, such as the awkward camera angles and mandatory motion controls, often offset the enjoyment to be gained from the narrative, making this an experience that won’t appeal to everyone."

Siliconera slapped an 8 out of 10 on this one, summing it up as a "well-executed remake":

"While the puzzles are a bit easy, Another Code: Recollection is a well-executed remake and it’s great to see both games worldwide."

The team at Destructoid gave the game one less (7 out of 10) and called it a "fun" experience overall:

"Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun."

And last of all The Verge's review, which now has it wondering when Hotel Dusk will get a revival:

"In the case of Another Code, at least, it’s the ideal kind of remaster: taking games that were launched a few generations ago (and, in some cases, only in select regions) and making them much more accessible while also giving them a fresh coat of paint. Recollection doesn’t mess with the part of the series people loved but brings everything else up to modern standards. It’s a remaster so good I can’t help but wonder: when is Hotel Dusk coming to the Switch?"
