    This game has such a rich history and I sincerely wish this remaster reaches people who appreciate it or who never had access to it before – after buying it on sale, of course.

    Don't let the fact that it's a somewhat simplistic remaster edition discourage you, either. Behind it there is a great JRPG that marked an epoch in the PlayStation 2 era.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. These are just a few tidbits I've noticed after playing nocturne hd for 3 hours:

    The audio sounds like someone's downloaded and reuploaded the music about 15k times with certain tracks being even worse, and they couldn't be assed to remake the pre-rendered cutscenes, or even add stuff to the edges of the frame to make them correctly fit the entirety of the 16:9 aspect ratio that the rest of the game runs in, so you'll just get blurry side bars to be
    Keep the screen from becoming predominantly black. Ayy it's cute, the gameplay is functionally the same as the PlayStation 2 original, but at the end of the day this can only honestly be recommended for the truest if megami tender fans. This remaster lacks love and care and only send to serve as a stop gap between now and whenever smt5 releases

Difficilmente potrà piacere ai videogiocatori "moderni" o a chi non ha dimestichezza con i dungeon crawler vecchio tipo. Noctune non è un gioco così difficile o punitivo come viene descritto. E' un RPG molto classico. Quasi anacronistico. Io però l'ho trovato frustrante. L'encounter rate è molto elevato e ciò significa imbattersi in molti incontri casuali. Inoltre certi dungeon sono più snervanti che complicati. Una cosa che ho notato è che il gioco non ti spiega assolutamente nulla. Neanche come funziona il Press Turn. Solo parlando con i vari NPC puoi ottenere qualche informazioni. Le caratteristiche dei nemici non sono neanche specificate e occorre imparare a memoria le loro debolezze/resistenze.… Full Review »
