This was From Software’s intention with the game all along: to create a title laced with nostalgia that pays homage to the heyday of 8-Bit gaming. It’s almost a paradoxical experience merging the concepts of ‘retro’ and ‘next-gen’ to create a game that looks new, but feels old.
Both the place and time were wholly new to me, and yet as I played, intense waves of nostalgia coursed through my veins. The thing is, however, I’d never played From Software’s quirky PS3 RPG before.
The definition read: a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time – a sound description you might surmise. In preparation for this review, I looked up the word ‘nostalgia’ in the dictionary, not because my grasp on the English language was so slender that the meaning eluded me – but because I was hoping it might shed some light on the confusion I had felt as I played 3D Dot Game Heroes.
