EveryEye: "The Gust Corporation team managed to surprise us again, completing the phenomenal evolution process to which its IP had undergone starting from the first Atelier Ryza. Despite having inherited most of the mechanics from the second episode, the last fundamental piece of the trilogy has the merit of having speeded up and streamlined every single aspect of the production, giving the player a decidedly more engaging rhythm. Both the narrative and the gameplay boast a depth never touched before by the Atelier series, which however continues to sin from a graphic point of view. Although the title is the result of cross-generational development, at least on PlayStation 5 we would have expected something more. Overall, however, Ryza's last summer is confirmed as a fun JRPG capable of giving rather strong emotions."
“It's the end of another great year so it's time to celebrate the very best games of 2023; perhaps you'll discover something wonderful.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
“It's time for one of my favourite annual round-ups: our RPG of the Year Awards so here are this year's best RPGs in 11 distinct categories.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Hands down. Star ocean 2 remake. Shame it didn't make it to any of their lists. One other thing imo sea of stars was better then chained echoes.
Excellent choices! Both are great games that we considered but Chained Echoes edged out Sea of Stars by a hair and Star Ocean 2 almost made the cut. There were so many phenomenal RPGs this year that some tough decisions had to be made; that's for sure! 😅
No mention of Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. That's ridiculous. One of the best dlc ever.
Absolutely! And thanks for your feedback - we will consider an award for DLC next year.
