RPG fans will find it worth playing for the superb music, adorable sprites, and the enjoyably unusual structure of the tale as a whole.
2610d ago
The Longest Five Minutes uses a truly gripping concept, throwing the classic RPG formula on its head by having you put the pieces of an already existing story together as you go.
2610d ago
Not every game has to be a seven-course meal; sometimes you just want a light snack. On that front, Longest Five Minutes delivers.
2610d ago
It's a clever mix of sentimentality and satire, structured in a way that's quite unusual for JRPGs.
2610d ago
An entire JRPG trimmed down to the length of a single afternoon, The Longest Five Minutes brings a Memento-esque experience that plays around with the plays with the concept of time and the fallibility of our own memories.
2610d ago
Still, it's a brisk and amusing adventure that knows how to play to its strengths.
2610d ago
If you don’t go in expecting a deep RPG experience, there’s a fair amount of fun to have.
2610d ago
The Longest Five Minutes is an interesting RPG that has a non linear story with some interesting classic JRPG mechanics that also suffers due to some tedious design decision.
2610d ago
The Longest Five Minutes is almost the standard definition of an RPG, brought to life with one of the most exciting storytelling techniques for any Switch game.
2610d ago
There's certainly an argument that The Longest 5 Minutes could be considered more of an interactive visual novel than an RPG, but it's a good one.
2610d ago
The Longest Five Minutes has an interesting story premise and very good art that is marred by its lackluster gameplay.
2610d ago
If you’ve a hankering for a fun Japanese RPG, then The Longest Five Minutes is a decent option.
2610d ago
Though its ambition is admirable, it ultimately doesn’t live up to the promise of its clever premise.
2610d ago
The Longest Five Minutes is a promising JRPG with endearing characters that'll make you happy to experience their tale yet it simply doesn't offer enough fruitful gameplay to satisfy genre fans' gaming sensibilities.
2610d ago
There are moments that shine, but they are marred by the numerous issues and make this Nintendo Switch release somewhat of a disappointment.
2610d ago
Unfortunately for all the minor smiles and well-orchestrated music that accompanies one’s travels, The Longest Five Minutes feels mostly like a sterile assembly of classic JRPG’s least-appealing necessities.
