Its freedom is thrilling, with quests that appear and vanish and stories shaped entirely by player curiosity, yet its opaque systems, slow pacing and lack of hand-holding will alienate many. For the patient, it’s a rare, unpredictable JRPG. Stubborn, messy, and unforgettable.

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered International is a fascinating relic, as brilliant as it is hostile. This new edition adds Italian localisation and useful QoL tweaks, but visually and structurally it’s still a 2005 game with sharp edgesintact.

The village-building and huge cast add charm, even if exploration and pacing can drag. Visually it’s closer to the first game, with some performance hiccups, but the music and QoL features shine. A demanding, lengthy, but genuinely rewarding return to Orsterra.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a massive, ambitious prequel that turns a former mobile-only project into a full JRPG epic. Its darker story, customizable lone protagonist, and deep 8-character battle system deliver tons of content and real strategic depth.

While the first game shows its age and performance could be smoother, the trilogy’s warmth, optimism, and refined alchemy systems shine through. A colorful, feel-good journey about friendship and growth—perfect for fans and newcomers alike.

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is a charming celebration of one of Gust’s most beloved RPG sagas. The three remastered titles look and play better than ever, packed with all DLCs, quality-of-life updates, and plenty of content.

The environments and visuals show their age, but the remaster’s polish and improved accessibility make this a perfect chance to revisit a genuine classic. A sincere, character-driven adventure that reminds us why Tales still matters.

Jude and Milla’s dual narrative still feels fresh and mature, while the combat system remains fast, strategic, and satisfying.

Tales of Xillia Remastered brings one of the PS3 era’s most heartfelt JRPGs back to life with smoother performance, quality-of-life tweaks, and the same emotional storytelling that defined it.

It’s not a flashy reinvention, but a lovingly crafted return, one that refines rather than replaces, reminding us why this series still holds such a special place in JRPG history.

The bond between Estelle and Joshua, the charm of the world, and that unmistakable Falcom spirit make this journey feel as timeless as ever.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a heartfelt remake that beautifully captures the warmth, humor, and sincerity that made Falcom’s classic so beloved.

However, its very low difficulty level, outdated exploration design, and uninspired dungeon layouts prevent it from standing out, making this a solid but non-essential entry in Gust’s beloved franchise.

With a solid and relaxing crafting system, a charming cast of familiar faces, and a light yet engaging story, it delivers a comforting experience that long-time fans will surely appreciate.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & The White Guardian marks a return to the series’ roots, abandoning recent experiments in favor of a more traditional, alchemy-focused approach.
