Liam Lambert, GIZORAMA - "These days, Steam is awash with games intent on tapping in to Gen X retro nostalgia, and their over-abundance is enough to make anyone cynical about more rose-tinted 8-Bit platforming. Since it sells itself as a modern-retro platformer that pays homage to video gaming from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, I approached BiT Evolution with a decent amount of trepidation. Games within this niche rarely do a great deal for me, since my nostalgia-gland (yeah thats probably a thing) responds mainly to PS1/PS2/GameBoy Advance obscurities. How surprising, then, to discover that BiT Evolution is more than just a cynically designed, pretty-pixel-picture it is a smart, lovingly designed pastiche of old ideas which is more than happy to play around with new ideas."
