Critic Reviews
Pure Nintendo
By Jemma CassonMelon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is a unique journey into an interesting world. There's a lot to uncover and enjoy as you explore, with neat retro graphics and soundtrack. This is one to check out, although a glitch (which is hopefully now patched) does mar things slightly-be sure to save regularly.
video games are good
By Nathan HermansonMelon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is a nostalgic trip to simpler times, quieter days, and a different era of gaming. It reminds me of a time when the idea of walking in a digital space, meeting eccentric characters, and becoming part of a lived-in world felt revolutionary. Froach Club's 3-5 hour story is ripe with good vibes, and while it may not ask you to parry frame-perfect attacks or min-max your character's stats to reach glory, its appeal is undeniable. Go drink a melon soda, let the breeze roll in, and wander through Hog Town.
Nintendo Life
By Austin VoigtAll in all, we loved Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories for taking us back to our roots and reminding us of simpler times when games were much more limited and required a unique type of creativity and imagination in their nostalgic design and witty storytelling. Short but sweet, if you're looking for a well-written little adventure that walks a dark path, you'll enjoy this evocative, melon-choly journey.
Nintendo Blast
By Lucas OliveiraWith simple gameplay and a humorous plot that also touches some serious themes, Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is a great addition to the Switch library, giving the player moments of laugh and thoughtfulness in equal measures. Sadly, the lack of a Portuguese translation may be a barrier for some people to have access to this excellent product.
GameBlast
By Gustavo SouzaMelon Journey: Bittersweet Memories stands out by presenting a really fun and lighthearted story, offering mystery, crimes and other serious issues with critical humor. Its graphics and soundtrack are special highlights, as they represent what a game from the nostalgic Game Boy would be with [high] fidelity. The absence of Portuguese text is an issue since the adventure is focused on reading but it doesn't diminish the shine of a pleasant and compelling game.
