For RPG's I follow 3 websites. They gave the following scores.

RPG Gamer 5/5
RPGFan 99/100
RPG Site 10/10

Other gaming sites are high as well.
The newly re-formed Game Informer 9/10
Games Radar 4.5/5
Game Rant 10/10
IGN 9/10
Destructoid 9.5/10

It is getting rare to see some of these outlets agree on such a high score. Especially when the game is a throwback Turn Based JRPG. I believe the team said their desire to make an RPG was driven by playing Final Fantasy X when they where younger.
Fyi, it is coming to game pass.
It is coming to game pass but the game is $50 and made by a first time studio of under 30 people. Microsoft also kind of did them dirty by shadow dropping Oblivion Remaster and putting it on Game Pass two days before this release. Because of those reasons I am trying to do my part to help this game not get overlooked. Especially considering them being so awesome about the price considering what is happening in the gaming community right now.

The game looks well worth $50 so this is a great deal. It's averaging low 90s on Meta.

I'm just glad this game is going toe-to-toe with Metaphor.


I've gotten bored with turned-based RPGs because of the lack of engagement (which is why I love the action style of FF7R now). But when this game was first revealed, I knew it would reinvigorate the genre, exactly because of the gameplay additions to the typical turn-based. Now, Atlus themselves are forced to innovate on Persona 6 or get left in the dust by rising standards.


As for the game itself, I'm glad to support physical, as I was looking to pre-order this a few weeks ago, and saw no listings and assumed it was digital only (something studios are doing now, e.g. Alan Wake 2, Black Myth Wukong, etc)


A large shade was cast on this though when Oblivion Remastered got shadow dropped recently, but I think the high Metacritic scores will part the clouds on this game once again.

Can you link to the promos for the digital pre-order as well? I couldn't find anything at Best Buy.

Great find. This was on my wishlist on steam and I just bought on GMG.

Make sure you log in to see the discounted price. It was around $40 before i logged onto my account.

This game looks great, but I just think it's funny and kinda sad (for me) when they say they played FFX "when they were younger" ... I played FF1 when I was younger. Lol. *cries*

Well sure I played Final Fantasy X when I was younger. I also played Zelda on NES and the Original Dragon Warrior on NES before they called it Dragon Quest here in the USA. I also played Frogger on various consoles and centipede. I think maybe it was just a reference to one of their favorite games.

In a day and age of Mario Kart World being $80, this is a game with an MSRP of $50 that absolutely deserves your money. They are even doing promos for pre-ordering digitally.
