    If you played the last Ryza 2 game, you will like the overall experience of this game. Although I find the pace of the tutorials and recipes to be very slow. Fighting is fun and sometimes strategic. Graphics are nice. Some minor clippings. The animations are superb. The story is interesting in it's own way.

The story is interesting in it's own way. One of the big issue of this game is that at certain points, the game tells you to synthesize an item, yet put very little help on the direction to take, or what to do. I had to go on the net to find out. One time was because I received a recipe but it never showed up in the listing. Also, even when you have an item in your inventory, the game doesn't take account of it when you get the quest to synth an item (yet all the side quest works with the actual inventory). I give the game a 75%. I think they downgraded a bit from the previous version. The game is still fun with perky dialogues but something is very odd with the quest systems.… Expand

    Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream is a masterpiece by Gust and the best game in the franchise so far. All elements work to perfection to deliver a rewarding experience. There's an amazing cast of characters, great story and the best combat, alchemy and exploration systems ever seen in the series.

    Year in, year out, the Atelier series never fails to top itself. Atelier Sophie isn’t just a check-in with beloved character — it manages to meaningfully increase our understanding of that character by giving her the chance to interact with her closest companions in an entirely new context. For fans of the franchise, this is one of the most satisfying experiences that Gust could have offered, and for anyone looking for a chill, accessible JRPG, it doesn’t get any better than this.

    The new entry on Atelier Series brings not only one of the most charming main characters in the franchise on a new adventure but also the classic turn system and alchemy mechanics with new features that results in a remarkable title.
