  • Action RPG
  • Dark story
  • Multiple endings

An action RPG: a boy sets out to cure his sister Yonah alongside Grimoire Weiss, a talking book that casts magic. You combine weapons and spells, and at times the camera switches to 2D platforming or a top-down view. The other endings require replays.

Why play it now

When you want a story that unfolds over several playthroughs: after the first ending, you replay the second half more quickly.

Who it's for

For anyone who puts a dark story and a much-praised soundtrack ahead of challenge: on Normal, fighting is easy.

When not to pick it

If you hate retracing your steps: you go back and forth through the same areas and some side quests are tedious.

What it offers

  • Story: 90 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 75 out of 100
  • Exploring: 45 out of 100
