Panzer Dragoon is a remake of a third-person rail shooter sharing the same title, which was originally released on Sega Saturn in 1995. The game, created by Team Andromeda, a Japanese team belonging to Sega, has become an iconic title over the years, not only because of its technical achievements, but also because of the atmosphere and the combination of fantasy and science-fiction elements resulting in a world which was expanded in subsequent editions and spin-offs. The last installment in the series - Panzer Dragoon Orta, was released on Xbox in 2002. The remake edition was developed by the Polish studio MegaPixel.

Game Ratings for Panzer Dragoon: Remake Video Game.
Paste Magazine: 4.5 / 10 by Garrett Martin
Panzer Dragoon: Remake barely makes an concessions to how games have grown over the last 25 years, and that makes it hard to care about it. The superior sequel will be getting a remake next year; this might be one of those situations where the first game in a series can easily be skipped over in the hagiography. Even the biggest members of the Dragoon Squad can sit this one out.
The Digital Fix: 6 / 10
While I enjoyed the very short-lived remake of Panzer Dragoon, I had hoped that I would be given a few new bells and whistles to savor. However, what we have is the same classic game with improved graphics and controls. This will please purists massively but for me, the game is a bit too basic and short by today's standards. It is still fun though, and sometimes that is what matters most.
COGconnected: 60 / 100 by Alex Everatt
Panzer Dragoon does have some fun moments and some of the visuals are quite impressive. I didn’t care much for the story and the game is quite short. If you were a fan of the original, nostalgia alone might be enough to make the purchase.
