Swedish Magazine Level reviews Lost Odyssey

6/10

This score comes from the Swedish gaming magazine Level.

Some points of criticism:

* Annoying characters. He compares one of them to Jar Jar Binks.

* Serious nonsense. The game tries to be serious and funny at the same time and fails at both.

* Old. Sakaguchi hasn’t made games for a long time and so it appears his games are stuck in the old ways of game design.

* Battles suck. Outdated combat system. Clumsy, mechanical problems.

* Load times. 30 second long ones in the middle of dramatic scenes.

* Visuals. Stale, rigid, odd facial expressions.

Some points of non-criticisms:

* Nobuo Uematsu is as good as ever.

* You can play with Japanese voices and English subs.

* He seems intrigued by the story and the way it’s presented.

* Praises the unique pessimistic and disillusioned appearance of the protagonist.

* Occasionaly reminiscent of past greatness.
