I could write an entire book on just how good this game is. It's a masterclass in story-telling, world design, combat mechanics, graphical design, voice-acting, basically every facet of development of this video game was done well. On top of all that, it somehow managed to capture the spirit of the original game, and still tell its own story that is faithful to the source material.

This is now my favourite game of all time.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the current pinnacle of gaming.

If you like story in your RPGs, Golden Sun is not for you. Not only is there little to no story throughout the game, but the game itself is only one half of a total adventure. Golden Sun as an experience is fairly mid, nothing really sets it apart from other RPGs but it’s not bad per say. With so much available to play, I can’t recommend it, my recommendation is to play something better.

Never in my wildest dream did I think this game would be as good as it is. Infinite Wealth basically said hold my beer when it comes to the RPG genre. It does it all, easy to learn but a joy to master turn-based combat system. A cast of unforgettable characters, call backs to a decade long franchise that don’t alienate new players. Countless mini-games, beautiful areas to explore. A story that is incredible but doesn’t overstay its welcome. This is an all-timer.
