Granblue Fantasy: Relink

Despite several development complications, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an exceptionally polished adventure. Marvelously, it’s impressive in areas where its action role-playing peers occasionally falter. CPU controlled teammates behave like humans while combat remains engaging thirty hours on. Best of all, the challenge scales broadly, providing audiences of all skill levels an ideal inroad into Granblue’s breathtaking skyworlds.

Relink offers fluid combat against inventive bosses in gorgeous landscapes—this is an essential ARPG.

Whether you love the high-octane spectacle of Final Fantasy XVI or the character collection of Genshin Impact, Granblue Fantasy: Relink has a little something for you. It’s a smart blend of ideas, even if it's a bit torn between console and mobile gaming philosophies. More importantly, though, it does all that without sacrificing the playful energy the RPG genre was built on.

Granblue Fantasy Relink offers plenty of options for players to engage with in terms of content. It's an action RPG that is easy to pick up and difficult to master when it comes to its character roster choices and mechanics. However, when you get to the deeper aspects of it, it doesn't offer much of note compared to its peers. Still, the way the game delivers its narrative as well as how impressive and tough its boss fights are is definitely worth bringing up. Overall, this is a solid game that could have been a bit more intricate.

As a nine-year-long passion project of its developers, Granblue Fantasy: Relink oozes promise and style boosted by addictive action gameplay, a large cast and engaging mechanics. However, without more to offer endgame players and perhaps a bit of buffing in the narrative side, it’s likely to fizzle out and be eclipsed by larger titles. I can only hope the developer shows the same labor of love in supporting it, as they have in crafting it.
