Oct 31, 2025While the Dragon Quest 1 remake on offer here is a great reimagining of the revolutionary but somewhat limited progenitor of this massive series, I cannot sufficiently express how much of an improvement the Dragon Quest 2 remake is. For the first time, it feels like a worthy and critical entry in the arc of the series and not just a steppingstone technologically between 1 and 3. Dragon Quest I & II: HD-2D Remake is an absolute must play for anyone who loves this series or the genre of RPG’s as a whole.

Oct 30, 2025More than simply revitalizing two games, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is a celebration of the origins of the JRPG. By enhancing combat with new mechanics and abilities, expanding the narrative with dialogues and arcs that strengthen the emotional bonds with the heroes, and making world exploration even more rewarding, Square Enix managed to modernize the core experience without abandoning the charming essence and simplicity that made them great classics of the genre.

Oct 29, 2025Let’s just say we didn’t set out with high hopes after the somewhat lackluster experience of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. However, in a welcome burst of clarity, Square Enix has this time taken the task of remaking the game seriously, paying due tribute to the original content while also enriching it with a wealth of new features that make the experience both enjoyable and surprising for newcomers and veterans alike. As it stands, this attempt proves far more satisfying than last year’s predecessor and can easily be recommended to any budding archaeologist eager to explore the origins of a genre and a legendary franchise, without suffering the main pitfalls of the era.
