A portable spin-off of the great N64 Perfect Dark, reworked in top down view with Joanna Dark in charge. Sharp stealth and action missions, varied arsenal and N64 connectivity for diehard fans. A neat Rare feat on a tiny cartridge.

Is Perfect Dark still worth playing in 2026?

Perfect Dark on Game Boy Color, made by Rare, dares to transpose Joanna Dark's espionage into a top-down view, with stealth, varied weapons and a link to the Nintendo 64 version. The proposition is ambitious for the handheld and offers genuine mission variety, but the readability of the action and at-times confusing handling betray the limits of the platform. Today it is worth it mainly for the curiosity of a bold adaptation and for fans of the license eager to explore this atypical iteration.
