Hardcore GamerKirstin SwalleyNov 20184/5It's wonderful to see Taiko No Tatsujin finally return to the west and perhaps in the most spectacular way yet.

God is a GeekNick GillhamNov 20188/10Bright, colourful and a lot of fun, Taiko no Tatsujin is a beat 'em up I can really get behind.

Push SquareStephen TailbyNov 20186/10The decision not to release the drum controller in the West is a baffling one, as it robs Taiko No Tatsujin: Drum Session of its identity. However, if you're willing to give it a shot with a regular pad, there's a challenging rhythm game here for you to master, with a wide variety of tracks and seamless online play. The lack of extra modes is a shame, but if you get hooked on this game's unique brand of beat-matching gameplay, the climb towards better scores should keep you going for a good while.

Digital ChumpsEric LaymanNov 20186/10Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! is a bright and cheery arcade drumming classic digitally packaged without the physical equipment normally used to play it, conceding a DualShock 4 as the solitary drum to bang across dozens of energetic pop anthems. It's a fun, albeit plain, rhythm game that you can imagine being even more fun with the hilarious drum controller that isn't included or available in North America.
