Wait, people really like Abandoned Places 2? The one with one level set in a massive pit of damaging fire you have to completely explore in order to pass? Whew, I know you probably haven't played all of these, but I suggest putting divisive on it, because I can't imagine just waltzing into that game expecting something not insane.
Dragon quests games qualify too, as many of their wizardry clones , nothing evolves in japan ever. Thats not much more nonsense than usual, there's titles on the list with one star , i doubt anyone still enjoy them as too ancient. Like wizardry 1? There's never ever anyone discussing those games nor asking for tips anymore .In my opinion only 7 and 8 still deserve one star.
jrpgs are a subgenre of blobber
I can say a positive thing, there's no frayed knights 2 .
That strikes me as an unfair, and untrue criticism of his review. It reads like Grimoire was in development hell for 20 years (it was), has assets that reflect that, systems that aren't fully baked, no manual to read and combat traded complexity for fast-draw. I don't really care if Grimoire is great or not, but his review comes across as a fair documentation of the experience.
PoR only has third-person exploration on the world map, which isn't a terribly big part of the game. DoS has is both on the world map (of which there's a whole lot more) and in the cities, bringing it much closer to Ultima formula. I also don't remember DoS's dungeoneering being much more developed than Ultima's, most of the time you just proceed from one combat encounter to the next.
