A truly excellent combat system and neat character-centric episodes complement a compelling tale, but weak side activities and some turgid grinding hold it back.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a much less ambitious game than it seems, but its simplicity shouldn't necessarily be considered as a flaw. Cygames' latest work is fun and well polished, and it has an exciting combat system, great art and music. Unfortunately, the story falls short, and after reaching the endgame it devolves in a repetitive cycle of 80 or so hours of mindless fighting, without any real challenge or new ideas to keep things fresh.

Excellent on a technical level, courageous in its approach and exemplary in terms of gameplay, Granblue Fantasy: Relink becomes a fantastic benchmark of the genre on its own merits.

Despite the myriad troubles, Granblue Fantasy: Relink has turned out to be rather excellent. But with several lackluster aspects, there is a real sense of disappointment that Relink could have been so much better.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is yet another bold leap for the franchise and it lands gracefully. The combat is a ton of fun with a massive and unique roster of characters. The game could have introduced characters much better and given them more quiet moments, but the story is nice to watch play out, and it all leads into a massive post-game that will keep you playing for a long time.

Granblue Fantasy Relink is an exceptional action-RPG with a strong license that can flourish in many genres. With excellent combat and cinematography, Granblue Fantasy Relink provides strong character development and epic encounters throughout its 20-hour campaign and many more hours after that.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a diamond in the rough, with a limited number of colossal opponents and a lot of choices and concessions that contribute to a less rewarding challenge and long-term interest. If you are a fan of (or even just interested in) the universe created by Cygames, however, it is likely that the rich and charismatic cast of playable characters may make you turn a blind eye. Definitely a game made for fans.

With only a few days left for release this anticipated RPG is almost upon us. What do you think it will score?

I’m intrigued. Endgame shades of monster hunter and destiny in an action jrpg sounds awesome.

I thought Namco and Tales would do it but I guess this is kinda the same exact thing…. Heh.

It’ll score in the low 80s if they’re just pumping reviews out after beating campaign.

Now if the game’s is generally loved by players … that’ll be something to see. Looks like it’s doing things right tbh.. or at least actually making the right kind of modern game. We shall see

I think solid high 89s maybe? It looks good as a matter of fact I'm going to buy it.

Mid 80’s so smack bang 85. The story might be contentious given it takes place well after the crew got together. The demo seems to be resonating with a lot of people though so I’m hope it lands in the mid to high 80s.

I hate that these kinda games aren’t stocked in my country so I had to end up importing it through Amazon and the import duties fucking killed me. But hey, I waited YEARS for this game, I’m not skimping now. Excited

Also, thanks for making the OT 🙏

Combat is sooooo freaking good just based on the demo alone and it will only get better after tinkering with character builds.

Also the music in the launch trailer gave me goosebumps. I wonder if Nobuo Uematsu is involved in this too. Wew…2024 is already kicking ass.
I didn't try the demo but I should. Ima download it now.
