    If you're able to push past all the self-conscious cuteness, AR2's focus on crafting may just pull you in.

    Still feel very lazy (same monsters, new monsters outside bosses are recolor, animations are very basic, NPC pathfinding is very bad)
    At the same time, the crafting system is better than in the first game with some cool new things like the skill tree.

I did cry like a baby at the end, so, you get attached to some characters.… Full Review »
