The Last Remnant™

Don't worry about BR, you can play normally and never have to worry about making the game impossible to you. I don't want to tire you with specifics, but i have tried crazy stuff that noone would do in a normal playthrough, and i still manage to progress just fine after couple days of grinding. (it would be impossible not to have to grind after all i did) Other than that tLR is a unique game, no matter how much i have searched i have not found anything like it. For that i believe it is worth a try. Ofc that does not mean you gonna like it, but maybe you do ;)

A one-of-a-kind JRPG. It’s got a great combat system with a lot of complexity. The story and setting are a good time too. The main story has some great cutscenes, and there’s tons of sidequests too. There’s a big roster of recruitable characters and most come with their own sidequests that flesh out their personalities. A shame this game is not currently available on Steam right now.

fun. weird.

wish they made more like this

I never got around to finishing this game. I didn't care for the combat very much. I found Jonny Young Bosch as the protagonist at a time when I was burnt out on hearing him in that roll didn't help get me into the game either. Mainly, I just found a lot of my reactions to things happening in the game were those of bafflement. I don't have much to say as I haven't played this game in nearly a decade. I just just going through and seeing which games I forgot to review and this is one from before I reviewed everything that I play. It's very rare for me to play this much of a game and not finish it, but the desire wasn't there back then and I have no intention of revisiting the game now.

good
