An excellent RPG with a very fun and surprisingly deep combat system, charismatic characters, and puzzles that start off easy but will really test you later in the game. The game’s premise is that you are an MMORPG player in virtual reality, and the other characters you meet are also players who can be recruited into your party to explore and farm items throughout the game. The story starts off fairly simple, but gradually reveals something much heavier as the plot unfolds. The combat puts you in direct control of one character in real time, with a mix of melee attacks and shooting, along with dodges and various tools that can be unlocked as you level up. There is also a four-element system that you can freely switch between using the D-pad during combat. Each element has its own skill tree, allowing you to customize it however you want and giving you a good variety of options. The game’s dungeons are heavily inspired by dungeons from games like Zelda. However, the difficulty of the puzzles increases quite a bit toward the end of the game, really making you think about how to solve them. This becomes even more noticeable in the DLC, where the final puzzles are extremely difficult.
