    While not as deep and rewarding as the material it’s riffing on, Reverie’s ode to Zelda presents a charming trip through New Zealand folklore that’s worth checking out.

    A Nintendo Feel on a Playstation Console
    Reverie is a 5 and a half hour long Zelda meets Earthbound game where you play as Tai who sets out to bring peace and balance to Toromi Islands while staying with his grandparents for holliday
    This game takes place on a new Zealand island, so you set out with a cricket bat to save the day
    I didn’t quite know what to expect with this game, but the moment I was sent to the basement of my grandparents home to fight a washing machine, I knew I was in for a treat..
    This is a really charming adventure where your objective area is marked with an x on the map,
    and its your job to figure out how to get there..
    There are enemies crawling around this island that drop coins that you can use to buy a new item and health items.. but they also drop pizza that will refill your health on the go…
    This is a lot of exploring, talking to everyone you can, getting to an area you need to get past, realizing you need an item to do so and then figuring out the right person to talk to to get that item..
    at least a couple items are this way..
    A majority of them are set in this games different dungeons..
    These dungeons will have you crawling room to room to find keys to unlock doors and progress…
    but the deeper you get into the game the more complicated these dungeons get..
    and this is where I started to slowly fall out of love with this game..
    The puzzles eventually become overwhelming..
    you have so many different items to use that all do different things, but you onoly have 3 equip spots..
    I would’ve appreciated if a dungeon stuck to only making you use 3 different items for its puzzles.. but this isn’t the case..
    having you annoyingly swap your loud out…
    all of this would slowly drain the fun from the game…
    but things would pick up as I finally reach the end of a dungeon, take on its boss, then im back out into this beautiful world to explore, use my new item I just got from the last dungeon to find collectables, easter eggs and hidden areas… meet new towns people..
    these moments are the best moments of this game..
    the first few dungeons are fine too…
    its just the final 2 or 3 where it starts to feel like too much is going on..
    All in all Reverie is a really charming and colorful nintendo feeling game, its polished, challenging, engaging, and fun.
    I loved having to use my brain to get through these dungeons.. that it wasn’t just surviving…
    I could’ve done without the puzzles starting to feel like untangling headphones towards the end though.
    I give Reverie

    A sweet game that is fun to play but all too short and in the end won't leave much

Although, it doesn't have the same level of quirkiness as Earthbound. I like exploring the world and the dungeons are fine up until the final two.

    Unlike in Zelda, they REALLY try to get the player to utilize all their items for the puzzles in these final two dungeons. It's overwhelming. This really makes the dungeons less fun and honestly I just looked at a guide on how to get through them. Added to the fact you can only hold 3 items at a time. So, you have to switch in and out a lot to complete some puzzles. The swimming item should have been made a passive item like Zelda's flipper item in Link to the Past.

    Other than that it is a decent game. A little short but it doesn't overstay it's welcome. If you can pick it up for cheap, I'd try it. I got my copy for about $6 on PSN    … Full Review »
