"(...) crushing, the OST of the remake surpasses its elder with a disconcerting ease and reassuring at the same time. Just listen to Lake Neptune to understand how the composer understood the presentation by putting his touch without betraying atypical tunes. A sound slap, which benefits from unusual sound effects to serve us a stratospheric sound design and always right. A real treat that leaves us speechless, just that ! "
-NoBloodyKnows, "PSMAG", june 14th 2019

"The game looks great in it’s newly revamped art style, as does the soundtrack."
-Eric Kelly, "TOTALLY GAMING", january 12th 2019

"(...) Visually successful, this remake of Toki benefits, in addition, to absolutely sumptuous reorchestrated music.A pleasure for the ears of those who knew - like me - this game on Atari ST (...) an "Ocean" of happiness!"
-Olivier-Brice Thivet, "PLAYSCOPE", november 25th 2018

"This work on the visual is accompanied by a brand new soundtrack orchestrated by Raphael Gesqua. This composer who has officiated in the past on many games offers to Toki a modern retro musical atmosphere perfectly dosed following the peregrinations of our simian hero.
The graphic and sonic redesign is undeniable and the pleasure of finding this iconic game of a bygone era remains pleasant on many points, starting with the hand-made 2D drawings and the soundtrack."
"(...) (+) Reorchestrated musics are pleasant"
-Silent_Jay & Logan, "JEUXVIDEO.COM", august 26th & november 29th 2018

"(...) The same thing can be said of the sound scenario, which also takes a step forward to keep pace with the times, while paying tribute to the original work. (+) Its graphic and sound part"
-Juan Garcia, "IGN", november 23rd 2018

"(...) The reorchestrated musics and the sound effects are not in rest, as one said in the nineties, and finish to give a modern stamp.
(+) We like: A soundtrack nicely reworked."
-Gianni Molinaro, "GAMEBLOG", november 22nd 2018

"(...) an excellent work of visual and sound remastering."
-Shanks, "GAMEKYO", november 23rd 2018

"(...) Raphael Gesqua is not going to discover it now, because it was not in vain that he was the musician of the memorable Flashback , as well as its sequel, Fade to Black , among many works he has done since then. In Toki he does a very professional job, based on the original recreative, and giving it a varnish of update with respect to the sonorous tendencies in video games of the last years."
-Ramón Nafria, "VANDAL", november 26th 2018

"(...) As for sound, the soundtrack has been literally made from scratch and has no connection with the 8-bit sounds of the arcade, and the sound effects show the attention given to the details when developing the remake."
-Andria Papatheodoropoulou, "IGN", november 27th 2018

"(...) And it's not the excellent soundtrack that will spoil the party between successful sound effects and music orchestrated with talent. Frankly, about sound ambiance, Toki rocks, again.
*The best : the soundtrack
*(...)with a high quality soundtrack"
-Julien Barthet, "LEMAGJEUXHIGH-TECH", november 27th 2018

"(...) The music and the sound effects follow the same recipe, preserving the style of the original Toki but bringing the necessary refreshments in a successful way.
(+) Top Audiovisual"
-Vassilis Tatsiopoulo, "VIDEOGAMES24", november 27th 2018

"(...) The sound is not out of tune at all, being able to listen to pleasant melodies and a good repertoire of sound effects that more than fulfill their purpose."
-Sergio Martín, "3DJUEGOS", november 28th 2018

"(...) In terms of sound, they also have done in high quality all the sounds and melodies of the original game"
-Nacho Pérez, "QUE!", november 28th 2018

"(...) Sets are impeccable, same for the soundtrack.
For the eyes as for the ears, this Toki 2018 on Nintendo Switch is a real success."
-Stéphane D'Angelo, "THMMAGAZINE", november 29th 2018

"(...) Likewise, the music is fun to listen to as well, remastered from the original Toki’s soundtrack just about perfectly. It’s nicely done, whether you’re listening through your television or headset. The sound effects are good too.
(...)it packs a punch with its vivid visual design and engaging soundtrack."
-Robert Workman, "COMIKBOOK", november 29th 2018

"(...) and what's more, the soundtrack is also very appreciable. It sticks very well to the various universes visited by TOKI."
-Samy Joe, "JEGEEKJEPLAY", november 30th 2018

"The rearranged music is catchy and I instantly remembered the old boss music when the new version of it started to play.(...) old school Toki fans will likely be pleased with what’s been done in this department as it remains faithful to the original tracks."
-Justin Berube, "NINTENDOWORLDREPORT", november 30th 2018

"An excellent work was also done on the animations and on the soundtrack, reworked to art."
-Daniele Cucchiarelli, "EUROGAMER", november 30th 2018

"Sound : 8/10"
-Darren Palma, "NINTENDO INSIDER", december 2nd 2018

"The music is also excellent and has clearly had just as much effort lavished on it.(...)The new visuals and animation are great and match the original perfectly, with equally good music."
-GameCentral, "METRO UK", december 3rd 2018

"Even the music has been redone with loving care. The original tracks from the arcade are modernized in an equivalent way to the graphics. It’s plain as day to see how much the developers loved the original Toki when seen and heard in comparison.
(+) Greatly remade soundtrack"
-David Giltinan, "NINTENDO ENTHUSIAST", december 4th, 2018

"Music is terrific."
-MAMEiac, "NINDIE SPOTLIGHT", december 4th, 2018

"On the audiovisual aspect, the game is at the forefront."
-Matus_ace, "SECTOR", december 5th, 2018

"Sound : 9/10"
"GUILTY BIT", december 5th, 2018

"The music is completely re-orchestrated by composer Raphaël Gesqua. Not only does he conserve entirely the beats from the original, but makes them even catchier than before. The soundtrack mixes both a blend of modern and retro, making for a great OST."
-LucasXD, "MIKETENDO64", december 6th, 2018

"Soundtrack : 8/10"
-Fire Akuma, "NINTENDO TOWN", december 6th 2018

"As for the sound section, both the effects and the music have been remade with great care. (...) it is well designed and adapted to this new version.
The renewed artistic and sound style of Toki seems to me a success and I think that the remake has known very well how to adapt to a new generation.
Sound : 9/10"
-Jordi Cebrián, "GAMINGUARDIAN", december 7th 2018

"The whole soundtrack was also altered and improved by the experienced composer Raphael Gesqua, who worked on such games as Mr. Nutz (SNES, 1993) and Neon Seoul: Outrun (PC, 2017). He created retro and modern music that gave life to the game, as well as having varied considerably, leaving them much less repetitive during the game.
Positive : Remade soundtrack"
-Alberto Canen , "NINTENDO BLAST", december 7th 2018

"(...) spectacular updating of the videogame by the award-winning composer Raphael Gesqua (Flashback, Fade to Black), which has managed to update the soundtrack and adapt it to the audio capabilities of the current machines.
Positive : Soundtrack revised and updated."
-Ricardo Fernández Andrés, "MERISTATION", december 9th 2018

"As for its sound section, the music has been completely reorchestrated by the composer Raphaël Gesqua, with both retro and modern melodies. The sound effects are also very careful and perfectly accompany the action.
Audiovisual section is a delight for the senses."
-Psyko, "NINTENDEROS", december 10th 2018

"The re-orchestrated musics are very good.
The title is absolutely beautiful and its soundtrack is in tune."
-Tatsui, "TAIKENBAN", december 3rd 2018

"Hand in hand with the graphics also the sound has benefited from a complete review. Each level will have its theme, with sounds that clearly refer to the type of places where the action is taking place. In the jungle the sounds and rhythms of bongos and various percussion will be the master, in perfect tribal style. In the frozen level there will be a massive presence of crystalline sounds. Also in this case a very accurate work. Sound effects are also very good."
-Ildagnele, "NATURALBORNGAMERS", december 14th 2018

"A respectful and modernized soundtrack
(...) the soundtrack and the sound-design are not left out since they were re-orchestrated by Raphaël Gesqua - who's composed a plethora of video games OST since the 90s - and which are quite accurate as they retain the outlines of real melodies. A beautiful audiovisual remake, so, that we can only greet with dignity."
-Maximilien Cagnard, "JEUXACTU", december 14th 2018

"The sound effects fit well with the environments where Toki moves, the environmental sounds of the jungle or the effects that occur when eliminating enemies in the aquatic area, mixed with the melody, tune you to the character and the ambience.
(...) the music section is great, they have managed to remix them without losing the tone of the original melody of the game.
Music : 7,9/10"
-CaloZ, "NINTENDO.PE", december 14th 2018

"The music is remixed from the original arcade release and sounds great. The game has some very catchy tunes, of particular note in the boss music, which manages to balance staying true to the original theme while bringing it up-to-date.
The artwork, animation, and music are all amazing."
-Rebecca Hills-Duty, "ONLYSP", december 15th 2018

"Toki is punctuated by catchy music that is pleasant to listen to and that sticks perfectly to the universe."
-"NINTEND'ALERTS", december 17th 2018

"The game takes the musical themes of origin, recomposed here brilliantly by Raphael Gesqua. Rather jazzy, they are very pleasant to listen to."
-RYoGA, "PUISSANCE NINTENDO", december 18th 2018

"Raphael Gesqua, accustomed to the composition of video game music, has performed a complete reorchestration of Toki OST for a very satisfactory result (...)
Toki offers a very good makeover in its aesthetic and sonic rendering.
We liked : Graphic and sound work."
-Zelphyrnia, "MaXoE", december 17th 2018

"It is nice to see how the music has been completely re-orchestrated by Raphaël Gesqua. That does the game well and it therefore feels like added value."
-Rox van der Helm, "XGN", december 18th 2018

"The music in the game is rather charming and is actually composed by award-winning musician Raphaël Gesqua, who has fully re-orchestrated the soundtrack for Toki. He has apparently also done a lot of work with other games too which is pretty impressive! I do like the music as it fits the game well."
-Leigh Wynne, "SWITCHWATCH", december 19th 2018

"The soundtrack was re-orchestrated by Raphaël Gesqua, and as for the graphics, it is more than successful !"
-Flavien Alexzander, "TAKETHISGAME", december 21st 2018

"The renewed Toki looks like a live painting and all the barbadas (...) have more movement frames, so they walk with even greater grace. As for music."
-Spyros " Shinobi " Asimakis, "BYTEME", december 25th 2018

"Even the sound plays its part, and helps to keep the atmosphere light and ironic that distinguishes the title from beginning to end."
-Monsterboy, "GAMESCORE", december 24th 2018

"Also, the new soundtrack, which was composed by Raphael Gesqua, makes a great and harmonious figure. "
-Krispin Berndt, "NTOWER", december 27th 2018

"But not all the credit goes to the French illustrator: the music section has also been reorchestrated by Raphaël Gesqua , another industry veteran who has participated in the original Flashback , classics such as Mr. Nutz and who has been linked to series such as Moto Racer . His contribution in Toki is to update each of the original pieces, achieving that balance between the retro melodies and the casual and adventurous tonic of the genre. As a result we have a game that worships the original, keeping its playable essence intact while updating its artistic section, which is not little."
-FRANKIE MB, "VIDAEXTRA", december 29th 2018


"The combination of a fail-and-try-again arcade game, hand-drawn characters, remastered graphics along with a re-orchestrated soundtrack makes Toki a true remaster.
Beautiful Remastered Graphics and Soundtrack"
-Joey Marrazzo, "GAME SKINNY", january 2019


"An excellent work was also done on the animations and on the soundtrack"
