    I had only completed Atelier Sophie game and played a little in Atelier Firis but still I can easily point out that Ryza is too casual and boring as a result in terms of alchemy which is the most important part of series about alchemy obviously. Also for some reason combat style was changed to some broken analog of FF XIII. All what we have here a nice graphics (at last), Ryza - thiccnessI had only completed Atelier Sophie game and played a little in Atelier Firis but still I can easily point out that Ryza is too casual and boring as a result in terms of alchemy which is the most important part of series about alchemy obviously. Also for some reason combat style was changed to some broken analog of FF XIII. All what we have here a nice graphics (at last), Ryza - thiccness princess and Lila - thiccness queen. I bet these are only reasons why this game sold out better than Atelier Sophie.… Expand

    The PC port is poor. Has optimization and performance issues (even on a GTX 1060) despite it looking like a PS3 game (and having ridiculously low resolution shadows and ambient occlusion), no proper Keyboard/Mouse support, barebones options menu, game physics have issues above 30FPS, and the game has crashing issues on some setups (Specifically with AMD graphics cards).

    Total waste of money. I wish I could return the game. The game play is confusing (battle system, alchemy etc.) and the characters are flat and boring. Score 4 only for the graphics, but really not worth the money at all! the whole game is not enjoyable at all.

    The worst RPG. It has a lot of flaws and most can't be ignored. Or i'm just stupid.

    A versatile addition to the series, Atelier Ryza offers new and engaging features, though it does need some tweaking in regards to overleveling.

    Atelier Ryza is a great game slightly marred by a poor port, lack of enemy variety, and hard-to-find ingredients. But anyone who likes crafting games absolutely owes it to themselves to play this, as it's a huge amount of fun.
