PSP Critic Reviews

The game was "unputdownable" for me, and I think it's a fine addition to any PSP owner's library.

Hexyz doesn't do anything at all wrong, but it misses the mark pretty clearly on doing almost anything very well.

For a game that takes as long as this one does to complete, the production value, the price and the experience, its really a no-brainer if you are an RPG player.

This role-playing adventure strikes an enjoyable balance between classic and new elements, risk and reward, combat and crafting.

Even if it doesn't exactly break new ground in the RPG genre, Hexyz Force plays its cards right, with a solid battle system and a pace that isn't too grating for quick portable gaming sessions.

If you're in the mood for a good turn-based RPG and you don't mind if it doesn't take any chances, Hexyz Force may be a good fit for you.

JRPG with both – excellent features and frustrating moments is great for long-distance trips. Watch your battery 'cause there is no quick-save feature! [Issue#195]

If I were forced to summarize Hexyz Force in a sentence, I think I'd go with: "Standard fare, don't expect much." It's not terrible, but it's not going to shatter any expectations.

Overall, Hexyz Force is a safe effort, bringing barely anything new to the table, but it will be appealing for those who are not looking for something complicated, or those looking for a decent forty hour dual-story epic.

Although it lacks the surprises or intrigue inherent to most Sting-developed games, Hexyz Force still manages to provide a satisfying experience for on-the-go RPGers. [July 2010, p.85]
