    I think the story was better in the first game, but the gameplay is definitely better in this one.

    This is a great game. This is just one of those games in which you can look for a couple of hours and be lost in it for almost the whole day. Cool crafting system, good battle system and good design of characters. Imho, but Ryza 1 & 2 are best in Atelier series + very friendly to newcomers. These games makes me think that game industry is not dead yet.

    As someone who absolutely loved the first Atelier Ryza game, I can easily say that this is even better. There’s so much more to do and the characters are just as likable, if not more, than before. This game brings back my love of gaming. I’d give this a 9 but I love the characters so much that I can’t help indulging myself. 10!

    Not as good as the first one, but still very fun. I don't like that you have to treck through every corner of every level in this one. In the first one, it was a bonus--which made it more fun. Also, the music isn't as good. The in-battle gameplay is improved, though. So there are also positives at the same time.

    Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy‘s core elements come together to make for understanding and engaging friendly JRPG. It has the option to automate complex elements and the battle system can be grasped early on without hours of learning, helped with the solo focused action. Whoever you are, the game wants you to enjoy its charming story and over-joyous characters. While there are some points where the plot can be interrupted, due to all the bite size dialogue squeezed into the the adventure, and there are signs of budget restraints in its game design and enemy variety, Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy still makes for an entertaining time with a series that keeps adding additions to expand over its many game entries.
