With a superb animation and visual style, this action-RPG by Dean Dodrill is definitely one of the best games in this year’s Summer of Arcade.85GameOver.gr

Ten minutes of novelty can turn into ten hours of monotony, and, while An Elysian Tail has many merits, repetition and simplicity prevent it from ranking among the best.82RPG Fan

If you’re game for a striking take on the classic side-scrolling adventure, albeit one populated by a cast of urgently self-serious talking animals, you could do much worse than Dust: Elysian Tail.81GameTrailers

Jaw-dropping presentation and art aside, Dust: An Elysian Tail is a delightful experience that deserves just as much attention from gamers as the designer put in when creating the title.80DarkZero

The game is a cohesive and stunning effort that keeps you coming back for more.80RPGamer

Doesn’t do much to innovate the platform-adventure sub-genre, but it does manage to look and play beautifully throughout, and sometimes that’s enough.80Joystiq

Crafted with painstaking attention to inventive detail and charm, Dust is never less than an outright joy to experience.95Official Xbox Magazine

Dust offers an engaging and unique hack-and-slash experience with its beautiful and varied environments.80Hardcore Gamer

Although it can get repetitive at times, Dust is easily the most charming game in the entire Summer of Arcade. In fact, it’s one of the most enjoyable Metroidvania/action RPG games I’ve ever played.95Gamer Limit

Dust: An Elysian Tail will last for around 7 hours. During that time, you will be stunned by the graphics, cry over the amazing story and feel that your 1200 Microsoft points was really well spend.80Gamereactor Sweden

Dust: An Elysian Tail is a beautiful game with a captivating story, however, the game might be a bit too easy and the loading screens can be a bit too long.75XGN

Dust: An Elysian Tail periodically stumbles, but impressive visuals and enticing exploration make for a successful journey.70GameSpot
