Pure NintendoJemma CassonJan 20207/10Red Bow features an engaging story set in a creepy 16-bit world. The puzzles are fun without being frustrating. You'll want to see it all; unfortunately it's over rather quickly.

New Game NetworkStephen LaGioiaFeb 202065/100Despite its accessibility, Red Bow is not going to be for everyone. This isn't just because of its darker themes, but its rigid, basic structure that shifts between item gathering and NPC interaction. Even at the $5 asking price, it's tough to recommend to anyone but those who really fancy horror adventures with ample reading.

Nindie SpotlightJustin NationJan 20206.5/10With a visual pixel art style that does have a creep factor but has elements reminiscent of the developer's previous release, My Big Sister, I found it hard not to have a bit of deja vu playing this title...

GamingTrendBen LombardoJul 202020/100Red Bow has a lot of potential to be great, but it's simply not. There are a lot of strange technical issues and downright poor creative decisions that make up for a dismal experience. While the story is effectively the only thing holding this title together, it's not nearly enough to warrant a recommendation.

Push SquareSammy BarkerJan 20205/10Overall, the title is ridiculously restricted, and while there are different endings encouraging multiple playthroughs, you’ll have seen all that it has to offer in hours.
