    Story and gameplay are pretty solid, animations are awesome but won't please that special graphic snob in your life. I think the allure of playing a content-packed classic dungeon RPG like this is too hard to pass up with Gamepass on console or pc. It's more accessible than the original but has less handholding than other modern games.

    For fans of the series and lovers of the genre, the combination of turn-based combat, intriguing puzzles, and exploration work well. Throw in a large amount of gameplay hours, plus the side quests, challenges and crafting and this is a game that will keep the ardent adventurer in clover.
