Critic Reviews
WayTooManyGames
By Aaron PriceAt the end of the day, outside of some frustrating confusion, and maybe a bit more time looking in rooms for items that might not exist, OutBuddies is an enjoyable way to pass the time.
Nintendo Life
By Chris ScullionOutbuddies DX tries to mix things up a bit with unique features like a playable drone partner. The problem is, it tries to be a little too clever for its own good, and its failure to effectively pull off solid fundamentals like the controls and the map system means that the gimmicks suffer as a result. There's a lot we want to love about this game, but its constant annoyances make that hard.

By Zachary MillerToday, however, is not that day. If you're itching for a Metroid-like, I did review an excellent one just recently. Without Outbuddies, I feel like the skeleton is there, but the meat needs some more time in the oven.

By Graziano SaliniOutbuddies DX è uno di quei giochi, uno di quelli su cui non scommetti niente e che poi finiscono per sorprenderti a più riprese grazie ad una combinazione di elementi inaspettati. Tanto figlio di Metroid quanto di Cave Story, il titolo in questione salta a pié pari qualsiasi velleità ruolistica per mettere in piedi un avventura tutta esplorazione, memoria muscolare, paura e orrori cosmici, complici anche le notevoli influenze lovecraftiane che si nascondono nelle viscere del cosmo.
