The Atelier JRPG series finally makes its way to the Switch. CFG Games reviewer Vince is a huge fan of the series and could not wait to try this game out. Checkout what he thought of this amusing alchemy adventure!
Regardless of the outcome, today's review comes from a place of love. You see, despite my concerns about the Atelier series and its undesirable tweaks over the last decade, there are elements here that I like a lot, elements that highlight each game's potential, such as fluid, traditional, turn-based combat and a regular 'coming of age' theme in the storylines.
Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack, which includes Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book DX, Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey DX, and Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings DX, just gets its launch trailer, celebrating its release today for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
"2018 has been packed full of incredible RPGs of many varieties so here are the best ones within 9 unique categories." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Odd that Dragon Quest 11 didn’t make the cut. Did the author not play it? It’s quite good.
That is the most anemic list one could possibly conjure. Many of those suck. DQXI and Octopath are well above. Not to mention Torna the Golden Country.
Dragon Quest 11 was easily the best RPG this year, and it's not even on the list.
