Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX

This was my introduction to series based on many recommendations. I was certainly not disappointed. As someone who absolutely does not love crafting in games, I was hesitant to get into it but it is very nicely done that I didn't mind it. The system has just enough depth and complexity without being too overwhelming. The combat is fairly simple and some side bosses absolutely required good knowledge of alchemy/crafting systems in order to beat as most of the game's scaling comes from crafted items. The story and overall setting is very nice and very grounded in reality (within the scope of game's world) that makes for no complaints. Overall, very solid and enjoyable title

Good Game.

The version here will look absurdly simple compared to some other games if you're just glancing from a screenshot. Every recipe consists of no more than 4 items, and your input is limited to choosing those items from specific categories, choosing the order to add them to the pot, applying skills, and finally choosing the item's inherited properties. It'll probably seem like you're just pressing a lot of buttons to get a pre-determined effect the first time you do it, but as the game goes on and you get more ingredients and skills, you start to realize that optimizing the order of your actions to get the b…
