WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "What rankles me the most is Cotton titles can be fun: I made a point to look and try Cotton Reboot! for myself, and the hyper cuteness and palette saturation work so well in 2D, with the devs working in a space they know best. But here, in this throwback to the unsteady days of 3D, the decision to not rework the shortcomings that were known over twenty years ago is astonishing. Maybe it was too difficult to incorporate, maybe it made the game too easy, I couldn’t tell you. What I can say is Rainbow Cotton is the magical girl wrapped version of a Cybertruck. Quirky and odd, the novelty wears off when you can’t control it and it ultimately crashes and burns, killing you with design flaws that the creators were well aware of."
