    If you like Persona definitely check out Blue Reflection Second Light as well. You don't need to play the first game to understand the story but it does enhance the experiences of this masterful sequel.

    One of the most surprising games of the year for me. Going in I had no expectations, but I had a great time with this game. The combat is unique, the game is fairly long, and the story is very interesting and heartwarming. Definitely top 10 games of 2021.

    Very very solid game, lots of cutscene and story, where you get to enjoy time with friends, something I wish I had. The combat mechanic is unquiet to say the least, its like a turn base jrpg mix with final fantasy timer, its weird but I don't hate it at all. The only criticism, I have is for the New Game plus. You basically carry over all of your database and half of all talent point earn.Very very solid game, lots of cutscene and story, where you get to enjoy time with friends, something I wish I had.

You basically carry over all of your database and half of all talent point earn. No item, no level, nothing else. Some may think this is a good idea, but I would said at least give us a choice whatever we want it to be carry over or not, since I Love to collect stuff, I am the hoarding type and i love to grind my characters, so that put a wrench in everything.
    The replayability of this will solely relay on future DLC, since it reset you every time you start a new game plus. I have purchase the season pass so I am looking forward to see how good these new DLC they are when they release Jan 31, 2022.    … Expand

    I didn't expect much but this blows away all the RPGs I've played this year. Fun combat with cool characters and music!

    Blue Reflection 2 is a fantastic game just like the first game, rarely a RPG I would replay after finish but this is the exception

    Blue Reflection: Second Light is a JRPG that brings us a very interesting experience and theme, as well as an addictive combat system, exquisite soundtrack and a captivating plot. Second Light is a very recommended work to fans of JRPGs who enjoy building bonds between characters and going into their plots to find out more and more, which makes this game a welcome arrival on the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

    If you enjoy cozy games, Second Light is a no-brainer to recommend; just don't go into it expecting anything demanding or super innovative. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 73]

    Within its limitations that are typical to Gust games, Second Light shows a care of the developers to create the most pleasant title possible. It’s a game that can be considered good or even great in all of it’s aspects, however it doesn’t contain an aspect to call it excellent. It is certainly a memorable experience due to its battle system and the casual conversations with each character in this summer vacation adventure and one that I recommend to those that are already familiar with Gust output.
