In so many JRPGs – particularly the classics, the story is told exclusively from the perspective of one or two main characters. This structure allows you to spend the time to get to know each and every character properly, and independently of their role within the broader group. I haven’t played a more beautiful game in years. I often argue that the technical side of video games is irrelevant sure Kratos’ biceps are rendered well, and of course Ubisoft does an impressive job filling massive open worlds with stuff, but really, what I actually want to see with my eyes is abstracted beauty art design that tantilises, intrigues, and kicks the imagination into high gear. RPGīeyond that, though, mild inconveniences like not knowing which path to follow are well worth putting up with for the stunning artistic vision that this game offers.

So lavish is the level of detail in every square inch of the screen that sometimes I struggled to make out where the paths were to navigate through the world, let alone find those cleverly-hidden paths that led to treasure chests. This sometimes comes at a cost playing the game on the (relatively) small Nintendo Switch screen makes it difficult to navigate the world at points.
