Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok answers a lot of the complaints I had with the base game and adds a ton more to do in the game. If you haven’t played Granblue Fantasy: Relink before, this is the perfect time to get the game and the expansion, as it is still an amazing experience.

Endless Ragnarok is very much worth playing through, not only because of characters like Fediel and Maglielle, who will have you rethinking how you tackle the game’s encounters entirely, but also because of the flashy new fights and new grinds available, as well as the extremely fun summoning system.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is an excellent expansion given its relatively short two-year development turnaround. It capitalizes and expands on what made Relink’s endgame loop compelling, but it does so at the cost of a lackluster narrative. There are a myriad of new ways to build its now 28 playable characters, and the moment-to-moment action is even more addictive than the base game. I hope that a full-fledged sequel to Relink will come eventually, because I crave more, but I want one to be built from the ground up with the lessons they learned from the first Relink, rather than another expansion that tries to apply additional band-aids over it.

Endless Ragnarok makes Granblue Fantasy: Relink feel like a more complete game thanks to its various additions, including harder boss fights and a simple roguelite mode for mindless currency grinding.

Granblue Fantasy Relink Endless Ragnarok ultimately feels like the culmination of an already rich and generous title, further expanding each of its mechanics without altering its core nature.
