    Cris Tales tells a charming JRPG tale in a gorgeous and weird world, but it's hobbled by incredibly monotonous combat. Its battles undoubtedly overstay their welcome, but this unique odyssey still manages to shine through them a bit thanks to its style, characters, and the inspired (non-combat) time travel mechanics that make it so memorable.

Beautiful arttistic direction and OST, characters are well built, the story is deeper than the artistic direction would let you think. The mechanic of time powers could have been deeper too but there are some nice ideas and the main bosses will ask some reflexion from you. I didn't experience any bugs.

The art style is beautiful. The story is fun and heartwarming. The gameplay is entertaining and nostalgic. Shoutout to the active timing mechanic for scoring bonus attacks and critical hits that I’ve always dreamed of in a turn based combat system. Also the time power mechanic brings a wonderful additional strategic layer to combat and exploration. Best of all, gamepass makes a game like this so much more discoverable and enjoyable. I highly recommend anyone with gamepass go and check out Cris Tales.… Full Review »
