Beautiful music, stunning visuals, and a charming world. Lost Sphear delivers an experience that’s easy to get lost in. While the story feels a bit lacking compared to other JRPG heavyweights, the journey itself is enjoyable and **** you’re looking for a game with a soothing atmosphere, gorgeous presentation, and a nostalgic vibe, this one’s worth playing

It was a pretty decent game if you're into old school RPGs. It reminded me of a mix between Grandia and Chrono trigger.

Lets start off with the gameplay The gameplay has three difficulty settings but I played on easy, because I wanted to enjoy my time and I believe JRPG (Japanese Role Playing Games) should not have difficulty settings at all. Their are options to disable movement and battle animations in battle. Their are artifacts in the game that basically gives you buffs in two categories: buffs that affect the whole world vs buffs that only affect the region. The food system is pretty much useless and never used it unless I needed it for the platinum There are two gameplay modes semi active vs active combat. one is enemies wait to attack while you make your move and another enemies don’t care and will destroy your very existence. There is a dialogue and event skip feature that goes from x2 to x16, kinda weird you can’t use to control normal gameplay so you can move and grind easier. It’s a turn based game with skills and each class has a designated skill set but most of the time you’ll probably have the same party members. Combat is an average type of JRPG style of gameplay, nothing note worthy, you’ll probably find in previous entries of the games in general that almost have the same combat as this game. One thing about this game is that you can beat it in the high 50s. There are a few enemies that get introduced half way throughout the game but they start getting recycled near the end game. I would say It’s a minimum attempt at making a distinct amount of enemies. the specific armor for at least one character has combo moves but its very simple and not developed at all to show options. you have at most 5 options but realistically only use 3. skills can be upgraded with buffs and with a specific mechanic called sublimation you can keep some of its effects on it up to a 10 stack but you can only have a 4 stack of a specific momentum buff The gameplay is just more of the same, you would have experienced it already in some shape or form and nothing changes. JRPG or RPG in general determine its playability on its gameplay and this game does the bare minimum with its gameplay mechanics. For This Reason, it deservers a 1.0 out of 2.5 Story The story of this game how would I say it, its average at best. You get memory abilities in which you can restore memory. you find out early on about your childhood friend circumstances on them in randomly which is weird and nothing to built up on it like a someone making a passing comment. The side characters are pretty uninterested except for Van but that’s pretty much it. The specific character quest, in which a couple of them were the highlight of the game. There are two ending in which its more less **** or bad ending. Its more so one is a shortcut ending and one is a hard work ending. I think this game story is average at best as with its gameplay, its worth a 1.5. average as hell and cliché as hell Audio The audio in this game for an rpg was pretty pretty good. It fit most of the scenes. There is battle dialogue (Japanese) weird they didn’t go all the way. There is a whole load of audio sync issues where you walk on grass and stone it takes 1 second for it to kick in when loading, the audio just stops and you get a constant scare that it might have crashed. One time it took around 5-10 seconds to load hence it caused me anxiety because of this issue. This audio deserves a 1.5 out of 2.5 because of these two issues Performance The performance of this game was A to S tier, I couldn’t tell if it ran at 30 or 60 fps. It ran pretty smoothly. They treated the Queen of Gaming Correctly. 2.5 is the reward. Price Point The price of this game is at MSRP at 49.99, this suffers from the same issue as I Am Setsuna. This game should have at max been at the 15-20 dollar range for this title especially in 2017. I am subtracting a 2 for overcharging for this game. In conclusion, The game sits at an average score of 4.5 because the story, gameplay, and audio all had issues while the performance was good. The price point was ridiculous selling for that much even after the whole debacle with I am Setsuna people arguing its worth around 15-20 dollar range.
