Nintendo Insider – 80

It may see us return to an adventure that many will have first set out on nearly 15 years ago, but Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is yet another remake with the right approach. Modernised for a new generation and a worthwhile upgrade for those setting up their Rescue Team Base for a second time, it offers an enjoyable team-bonding adventure for those looking for a different pocket monster experience on the plucky portable home console.

Cubed3 – 60

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a mixed bag. While it’s great to see the series return, the fresh coat of paint isn’t enough to hide the myriad fundamental flaws with it that have since been addressed in later entries. It is fun in short bursts, the new style looks lovely, and Poké-fans will be happy just to step back into the world. Best of all, this may point towards the other entries receiving Switch upscales, and perhaps even a whole new entry.

Metro GameCentral – 40

A thoroughly uninteresting roguelike that undermines the most compelling elements of both the genre and the Pokémon universe.
