8 Reasons Dragon Quest 11 Is One Of The Best RPGs On PC

- Dragon Quest 11 has consumed Noa’s entire life - she sees Blue Slimes wherever she goes. It’s a combination of great world design, compelling characters and combat that is as hard or easy as you want, all served up in a perfectly paced adventure. Here are 8 reasons Dragon Quest XI is one of the best RPGs on PC.
This isn’t a full Dragon Quest XI review - we are still trying to get through it - but a look at what makes this the distinct JRPG it is. It’s very easy to write Dragon Quest off as conservative, this giant best-selling series that stubbornly refuses to evolve. But could it just be the gaming equivalent of comfort food, or a game that’s confident in its own skin that it doesn’t feel the need to layer on flashy gimmicks.
In Noa’s list feature she breaks down what makes the game work for her - the amazing world design, the cast of delightful allies… even the weird NPCs who pad out this world. If you’re PC for life, there’s a good chance you’ve not played this classic JRPG series, so hopefully this feature will fill in the details and help you decide whether it’s for you or not. If it is, better book off some work, as it’s a bit of a beast.
If you’ve been playing the game we’d love to hear your Dragon Quest 11 reviews in the comments below - help convince your fellow PC-players to give it a go. And if you enjoyed this video, why not subscribe to Rock Paper Shotgun for more like it - we cover all things related to PC games.

100 hours into the game,No microtransaction, the post game is huge with story, basicly just like a free DLC, true JRPG experience.
Jon Seth I just got into the post game and this game is amazing! It is so much more than I expected and I have played all of the DQ games.
It’s the gold standard for JRPGs. Pure magic.
Yorosero agree,nothing can top this series forever for me.
It truly is huge I thought I was done 60 hours in! It deserves the scores it got!
this was my first DQ ,yesterday i finish the game with 138 hours and platinum just the best game for my in this 2018
Best part is she sounds like she belongs in the game! Lol
Lol
Crikey.
Smashing
LOL, crikey!
JRPG plot twist...it's a dude, hey I'm not mad!
I love the reviewer's clear voice, and humor. I can feel her passion in this game. We need more reviewers like her.
Just finished it yesterday after a 110 hours of gameplay, still 5 achievements left. Enjoyed every second of it, and yeah it became the best in the series for me.
Wow I finished it yesterday too lol 92 hrs for me but i didn't go for all the accolades
I'm still working on fighting Mordegan. 😆 I'm at the Dark Citadel, but... His last form just chomped me to bits!
@@andrewn8002 I was inbetween 50-55 when I fought him I believe if your level is to low go do hallelujah pepe and electro light pep grinding in the first forest
Andrew Level up a bit in the citadel with metal king slimes, get around LV 50 and you're good to go. After this part the true game will begin btw!
@@georgythegenesis looking for singular king metal slimes isnt very efficient in this game because of how rare they are imo. The pep grinding took me from like 55 to the 90's in like a few hours
Especially if you know how to play the casino and can get pep pips in the 2nd post game casino(no spoilers)
Just finished the game, 150 hours thoroughly enjoyed. AMAZING experience, felt so rich and polished. Now THIS is how you make a classic RPG!
I'm no expert but this review was very well written and delivered. I very much enjoyed watching it. Guess I'm buying Dragon Quest XI.
You should check out the Kotaku review... it's one of the best reviews I've ever seen.
I cant even watch this review because i am waiting for the switch version...
I love DQ to death so wait is really hard for me...
And YT just doesnt stop recommending me DQXI videos ._.
I'm in a situation where I got the game on PS4(as I found myself owning one due to uniquely situational reasons) but the day it's out on Switch in the west is the day another PS4 hits the used console market.
Also sincerely, if you can afford it on PC it might be worth considering either ways. Or at least consider it as a gift for friends who might be able to play it on PC while you wait for your own Switch version. The game *deserve* to be better known and if it doesn't sells, I fear it'll be the end of it for the franchise in the west :/

I have tendency to dip the quality and bump up the speed when a I feel like a review boiling down or losing focus...
It didn't even occur to me while watching/listening here until the tags for other videos showed up at the end to remind me the video was done.
I was about to comment on it myself and saw your comment. I agree with you and am replying to elevate your comment.
Masterful review Noa, and on a topical note, the points you've outlined and difficulty and linear open world and and such have SHIFTED my perspective on die hard game design.
I just bought it only like 20 minutes in and can tell its gonna be awesome
My first impression: This game is b-e-a-utiful. Perfect for reality escape.
I love how this is a review that doesn't spoil any of the story!! This reviewer is a gem!!! A rare flower!
Seconding. I was impressed by how Noa is able to present every single of the greatest strength of this game without spoiling any single part of it's story, keeping the surprise fresh for players.
Alot of reviews do that 😂
She sounds like a narrator for a point and click adventure game.
A fellow quester here, I am so happy we received this amazing game. It has shown many people that keeping tradition in RPGs is a GOOD thing.
This game is a solid 9/10.
But if you want it to feel like an 11/10, just Finish Final Fantasy 15 first, then play it right after.
This made me laugh. A LOT.
Alternatively if you want it to feel like an 11/10, play the Switch version.
@@Laihoard1995 no
@@Rohgamu you clearly miss something tho
@@Laihoard1995 yeah .....I really want to choose other partner than Gemma, (Veronica not because she's a loli but her character, really hope she can be big again after they become partner but no), maybe I'll buy switch later
This game is absolutely amazing, my first Dragon Quest game and what a delight it is. The beginning is slow as per usual in JRPGS but this game does have a few very interesting twists and turns, im 50 hours in and i still feel a long looong way from the ending of this game.
The attention to detail is one of the things that amazes me the most, be it from someone cooking food and the food actually moves when they swirl the frying pan to the copious amounts of diffrent death animations for the monsters in the world, among other things. A definite recommendation.
SunsetAmethyst I love seeing people get into Dragon Quest for the first time. It is a series that focuses on story telling. And DQ11 is just beautiful on top of that...
ChrisDSX ^ this 100%
I recommend playing dragon quest viii it is my favorite of the series.
Gonna be my first too, well Dragon QueSt Builders 2 dragged me in!
playing it on mt pc graphics is amazing better than ff15 imo
The thing about Dragon Quest, it's like living in a fairy tale, which is something that was established all the way back with the first entry on the NES. Dragon Quest is a guarantee, comfort food if you will. While the earlier games in the series were really difficult, the later games are well better paced and that's one thing I've loved about XI. The Pacing.
It feels like no part of the game in the 45 hours I've played so far has over stayed it's welcome. Cut scene's get the point across. They develop characters, the plot, and move along. I think the characters are some of the best in the entire series. I've loved all of them. The voice work is superb, which is a rarity in Japanese localized products...except for that mermaid, she kind of annoyed me a bit.
Anyways. I've played and beaten every main entry in the series, some multiple times. So for someone like me DQ 11 has been an absolute treat because it takes everything the series is, improves on it, and keeps it interesting. I love this game!
since the release of the game I play in draconian mode but only the option that makes the fight difficult and more complex, and believe me my friend ,is a pure pleasure to play like that I'm at 36 hours of playing and I all just beat the kraken and I felt so proud after killing him caus with draconian mode it's so difficult ,so i give you advise try play the game with draconian mode and your experience will change,the game become better with this option
Honestly, you shouldn't throw around Comfort food like it's an absolute. I mean, I don't know enough about this game, but if it's another one of those stories were basically everything that isn't human is evil, then that is my definition of rotten food. I know I say this a lot, but I feel like people really need to see why that's a problem. So I have to ask, does this game do exactly as I described, or is there actually the idea that humans aren't these perfect creatures and only they are capable of good intentions?
Mugo Urth Oh no, the Dragon Quest series isn't like that. In fact, in Dragon Quest 5 you can recruit monsters you defeat. In Dragon Quest 8 there's even a village of friendly monsters so the series isn't built around such a black and white approach to good and evil.
@@baalfgames5318 Basically, you're scared that this game will be shallow in stories like ni no kuni 2 right? Where its just usual evil vs bad like game for a child.
Then no. Its not like that. Stories of DQ is deep, have lot of twist. What makes it different is how they presented the story in a calm, perfect pace that make you understand the point little by little while you relaxed, like reading a storybook. Not jumping into conclusion so fast.
@@muhsetio no, that wasn't my worry at all. My concern is how does this game portray life outside the human race? Is there non-human life that can show compassion towards other life? Are there monsters that can form a bond with the main characters? Is there none human life that actually helps the main characters in their battle against the antagonist or other forms of wrongdoing? Or do non humans exist purely to destroy humans, are only capable of Destruction and show no signs that any life outside the oh-so perfect human race can have any good intentions? Are there actually good non humans in this game that don't eventually die or turn evil? For are the extent of "non-human" Goodguys limited elves or humans with cat ears? That is what I am worried about.
Generic Good vs Evil stories I can tolerate. What I cannot tolerate is this blind narcissism humans have consumed themselves with that causes them to believe only they are important to this world, that only humans can do good and that all other life exist either as a nuisance or as an object. Humans are rapidly going down this path, and media that does exactly as I explained isn't helping. That is what I want to know: Does Dragon Quest 11 do anything to dispel the idea that humans are the absolute good.
I really enjoyed the battles being elective rather than random. I still fought just as many battles but every once in a while I just wanted to move thru the environment quickly. It was nice to have the option.
If you haven’t played dq xi yet you are missing so much. This is a game that will make you smile just by he animations of an enemy, honestly I can’t get enough of this game.
I saw two crabs greeting eachother on Costa Valor xD
"Dont wanna leave the house?" More like can't. Muwahaha 2020 what a year.
Indeed, I'm close to 100 hours on DQ XI, mostly because of me working at home
The gameplay and storytelling continues to open up the deeper you get into it. I've been waiting for an JRPG to grab me like FFX or Radiata Stories did as a kid. This one did it
i dont even remember the last jrpg that hooked me like this one
Yeah it's seriously the best JRPG of this generation, no doubt, I played DQVIII but this game is way better IMO, DQVIII would have been much better if the monsters were in the overworld and not just random battles. Plus the forging in this game is very easy and entertaining, the only thing I really miss from DQVIII is the monster collecting.
An absolutely spot-on, vivacious and tantalizing intro video to hook new players. Great opinions and inspirational commentary. Thanks
Just finish the main game with 80 hours and havent start the post game. The post game content is amazing bcs it got storyline in it. I think this is the first game post game content actually contain storyline.
DQ8 had a similar postgame play/storyline, although I don't think it was nearly as long as the one in DQ11 (I just started that game and havn't gotten to it yet).
The remake of DQ4 also has post storyline.
Wow that's great to hear! I'm only 30 hours in and absolutely love it. They deserve awards for this game...GOTY?
Ha, ha, that's actually kind of funny. Back in the 90's I think it was, they had to pass a law in Japan stating that video games couldn't be released on Mondays, or something like that. I heard it had to do with...Dragon Quest 3 I think....or maybe it was Dragon Quest 5. Basically, so many people skipped work to pick up the game which launched on a Monday and it was a problem.
At any rate, I'm sure the creators are flattered beyond any awards they could be given. But yeah, Dragon Quest games are always fantastic rpgs in my opinion.
Just wait till you see the ending, you’ll love it if you played any of the previous DQ’s
first off. Great review! you covered a lot of elements in a short video.
I am a DQ veteran. DQ1 (or dragon warrior) was one of my first games on the NES. This new game is really great. the Toriyama drawings are fully actualized and the personality of a dragon quest game is absolutely stunning in a full 3D environment. the characters really pop. love it. can't wait to get this game!
At this point I'm just going to wait for XI S on Switch
They even added the original orchestral score into that version as the default ost
Cant wait to play it in 2D
pc still is the best version
they also added new chapters for each character and more post game content on the switch
@@smokegames1179 no it's not literally it's not , this isn't an opinion .. this isn't an intense game , the graphics are not going to look miles better on PC and the switch version includes everything and more .
Please buy it on Switch!!!!!! It’s so beautiful I’m loving it! The graphics hold pretty good on the Switch 😭💜
great review. you should review more games.
whoever this is narrating
i love her personality, sense of humor and how she clearly she speaks
That's the British for ya mate
Just finished the main game, now going into the post game. So of course TH-cam has been sending DQXI content my way these past couple of weeks. Gotta say this video is as whimsical as the game. The writing is fantastic, and the narrator is soothing. Really great stuff. Thanks for making it, I enjoyed it plenty.
Your writing, the flow of the sentences, the jokes, the metaphors. It was all delightful. I'll be checking more of the channel's content out to see if some of this style can't rub off on my own work :D
Dam she has one of the best narrating voices. I could hear her for hours 😊. Were has she been all my life 😥
Sadly no longer on the channel. Noa left the team at the end of 2018. We love her videos though. Such a good, calming voice!
Its nice to know dq is finally getting some recognition outside of Japan
Got this as a Christmas gift. One of the best gifts that I've ever received. Grew up on Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy games in the late 80s and early 90s. Nostalgia and pure enjoyment is what this game truly is for me. As a table top D&D player and old school console gamer of yesterday, Dragon Warrior (Quest in Japan) was my jam. So happy that they took their time and released this properly instead of the money grabs like Fallout 76 and Star Wars Battlefront. I got burned on both of those games. Great review and is the staycation I was looking forward to.
This is my first dq game ,and it's pretty good .
Latrell Spencer wait till you play dq5, 6, and 8 oh boy
@@hector2811 ALL OF EM' ARE GOOD AF
Play also 9 its great. My first dq game
Kai and Michelles story hit me today on a pretty deep level. First time ive cried over a game in a long time. Im a grown ass man, sad over a mermaid.
This game is fantastic. Fan-Flipping-tastic. One of the best ive played, and ive played a TON of RPGs since Dragon warrior 1, a majority of the FF up to 12. All my life ive been playing these games and this one just hits all the right marks. Already planning my second playthrough and im only 40 hours in!
That was the only time I think the game really hit on the emotional level they achieved with VIII. The other story concerning a previous part of the story I thought was forced and didn't have the impact that anything on VIII did.
Your video was quite enlightening and enjoyable. I've only made it to the first town, about 4 hours into the game. It's been such a treat and I'm so glad they put it out in steam since I don't own a PS4.
1. It’s Dragon Quest
2. It’s Dragon Quest
3. It’s Dragon Quest
4. It’s Dragon Quest
5. It’s Dragon Quest
6. It’s Dragon Quest
7. It’s Dragon Quest
8. It’s Dragon Quest
And 9: it isnt skyrim
Review was really good! Fitting for an amazing game, as well. The humor was very well executed, too!
It's the best game I've played this year and definitely going into my top 5 JRPGs
I can’t wait for XI S on Switch this Friday!!!!!
I haven't play DQ series ever but I saw how you review this game with so much passion,it make me want to play it,thank you!
Im subbing you :)
"Look at him in his little beard" took me out love it. But I felt all of these points in my soul, I'm very impressed with the game.
this is an absolute gem of a game i just love it im only bout 20 hours in but its been a great ride so far and the story although not very original is executed perfectly. its about time we had a proper rpg that is turn based and made by aaa studio with production values to match btw i spent at least 5 of those hours in the casino lol last time i had a game i enjoyed this much was lost odyssey and i have to say this tops it.
3:16 HIS PRICES ARE GOOD???!??
Yeah, for him...
Seriously love the personality put into this review. Never stop being you!
I learned yesterday that my first RPG was Dragon Quest... well Dragon Warrior on NES. I didn't know the series had changed its name. I'm now on a quest to... get caught up on Dragon Quest!!!! Wish me well in my journey! Also, recommendations are very welcome. ^_^
Dragon quest 8 is a must... I also started with dragon warrior 1-3, and final fantasy 1-4. But I really liked DQ VIII, try to Chrono trigger too it's not the same games, but it has the same style of rpg and it's highly good story!
Actually it was always dragon quest, apparently they changed the name to warrior when they localized the game in English.
well this review is great, i am so happy that i found your review as you told me everything i wanted to know, this is the game for me! i have now subscribed as i hope to watch your reviews over many others i seen on youtube. great job! i loved the the way you compare final fantasy chocobo racing to race in this game. nice to hear someone know there games of old and give a review based on your many years of knowledge playing games.
This is my first time playing a big JRPG, this game has me hooked like no game has for the past decade.
60 plus hours in, first dragon quest game and I absolutely love it. Makes me want to play through them all.
Great video, I was already interested in this game, but now you have lighten a fire inside me that will not go out for a long time.
I'm really happy I picked up Dragon Quest Heroes on a whim a couple years ago, because it introduced me to the universe of Dragon Quest, I instantly fell in love with it's light hearted artistic style and its very cartoonish monster designs.
The music and characters were memorable and awesome.
Because I bought Heroes, I bought Builders upon it's release and absolutely loved it.
I then again, bought Dragon Quest Heroes 2.
I'll now be playing this soon and I cannot express how excited I am.
I've really grown a huge fondness to these games, I only wish I had tried them long ago.
puff puff lol
veronica wins again
Easy Peezy!
Jade FTW
Tyler Conner best line in the whole game hahah
Another one bites the dust.
Just got her in my party and she’s a damn beast
Its one of the best ever. Takes me right back to Dragon Quest 8, which I also loved, but is different. I'm on my second play through, and I'm enjoying it just as much!!! Hopefully They'll think of an expansion, because this is a master piece that I want to continue.
I have 110hrs racked up and I STILL haven't beaten the game yet but, I think I am nearing the end though. The battle system is so much fun and I don't get tired of leveling and fighting monsters. as a result for almost every battle my team has been overleveled. I am not playing with hard mode enabled so it's just very relaxing, the music, the story, everything... So many times the game has pulled on my heart strings.. it's a brilliantly done.
My wife stopped beating me after I beat the demo
I beat the main story at 180 hours 😅 such a good game!
Great review. It is on my list for Switch. Some of the language you use reminds me of playing Breath of the Wild. Really looking forward to this one.
Liked & subscribed because of Maroro x Sylvando comparison, finally found someone who referenced Utawarerumono.
Fantastic overview/review, thank you!
I could listen to you all day. Subbed and liked and notified. I can't place your accent, british or australian I think? You can be a voice actress, in a play. Suits you I think.
I liked your review
I like the way you talk
You obtained a like and a sub
keep the good work
What I've noticed is that dragon quest is one of the few that doesn't demonize religion.
True, although it doesn't push it in your face either. it's just there.
matsujonen God was the final boss in Dragon Quest 7
matsujonen can you please explain why? I don't really know what you mean and would love if you explain it. Or don't if you don't have the time or don't want to do it xD
so true. religion being evil is prolly one of the biggest video game cliche there are
@Doppelganger D well christianity has done some absolutly horrible things
Oh my god, can she please narrate all the reviews? She has such a lovely relaxing tone!
Sadly Noa left the team in 2018. Glad you like her review though!
Its one of the best games ever made period.
40 hours in I still think VIII was their magnum opus.
@@Rhythmicons couldnt get into it as much. Im sure if it was 2006 again and I played it then Id feel the same but its not as easy to get into now. Still good and engaging, but I find this more accessible
DQXI isn't a radical departure from VIII but I was referring to the quality of the storylines and their emotional content. DQ XI can have all of this decade's most modern features and minigames abound, but VIII was not only a more difficult game, it was a much more compelling universe.
its pretty much final fantasy and zelda's love child.
Think most people think 9 was the best from what I see lol I will play them all
I fell in love with JRPGs from the trails in the sky series, followed by Trails of cold steel, all on PC. Needless to say I've only recently truly discovered the JRPG genre (I mean outside of Zelda, and FF series from childhood) and I can't get enough of it in the modern era of it. This game was everything I could have hoped for!
D Will I can’t recommend Trails of Cold Steel to people enough. No game has ever made me care about characters or the plot as much as that game has.
I know man, I've recommended it a lot but.. it's a hard sell around here in the west. Outside of the Zelda and FF games, it's just not a huge genre over here.
I loved trails in the sky but.. I'm a minority in that I enjoyed trails of cold steel more. I can't even pinpoint why or how.. the characters were all awesome (except Machias, he gets less intolerable if you do his bonding events but otherwise...I kept him around in my party bc his Burst Drive was just too good), and I loved Rean. I don't know why! He's nothing special, in fact he's a supremely great example of a stock anime hero. I don't care, I named my Dragon quest 11 hero Rean! Why did I do that?! I might as well named him Link, or, My Dude. Anyway, yea, trails of cold steel is what truly solidified my obsession with JRPGs. It's a freaking masterpiece, and I get genuinely sad when I think about how long we still have to wait for cold steel 3, let alone 4! I've actually considered learning Japanese just to play those games ha
This was a pretty good review type thing. You've earned a new subscriber 👍
This is a very detailed review, your voice is very good, thank you ! One more to my backlog list haha.
i think this game is very fun and exciting. the story is very rich and each character has their role. the landscapes are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. i am playing without the handicaps. i just want to play without struggling for now. I'm also youtubing my play through because i want to save all the movie scenes.
i've never really played dragon quest before with the exception of dragon quest heroes 1 and 2. and those games gave me the taste of the dragon quest world. so i bought dragon quest xi.
You should play DQ VIII on ps2. Its also a masterpiece :)
quite possibly the best review ive ever *heard* of this game
i say heard because i didn't watch in risk of any visual spoilers to go along with what they were saying
I've been wanting, needing an awesome rpg with turn-based battle (I heard FFVII is gonna be realtime...I'm tired of realtime battles in rpg's). I so love this game, 44 hrs in and enjoying it so much!
Such a refreshing and laidback review with just the right amount of humor. Never played a Dragon Quest game besides a little dip into VIII, that didn't last very long, but I will give this one a shot
Just got this game 2 days ago and really enjoying it. A somewhat more relaxed game than many. Nice review.
I love this Game. I have it on PS4. Will probably get it on my PC as well, just because I love playing it so much. Yes SAD you might say, but it's my cash and I'll do as I please. Off to get another Mini Medal to see what lovely delights are in store when I get a stamp for it. *Fantastic VIDEO*
I live in the Bahamas and still stay inside playing this XD
Played and 100 % on hard monsters on ps4.What a great game, love the series and they really went all-out with this one.As a player who has been around since the first installment, I love how these games have evolved, while never losing the core mechanics.
Great work on the review. Gonna get this game down the road.
I loved feeling rewarded for paying attention, I make sure I talk to everyone I can, and take in the scenery, whenever I tackle a side quest and they want me to go to someone or somewhere, I already know what they are talking about, and I can just go like "Oh yeah I can do that no problem" where as with bigger bloatier open worlds people often refer to things in quests that I haven't seen or am not aware of, and I just accept it, and run around for a bit can't find it and either give up, or look up where I have to go if there's no quest pointer, but with Dragon Quest I wouldn't even need one and I love it
good sales pitch, that last bit about relaxed engagement sold me because that's what I look for. Now let's see if you were right.
Note to my fellow JRPG enthusiast - if you're considering if you should purchase between the PC or the Switch version, do yourself a favor and get the one on the Switch if you have the option. yw :D
I will tomorrow! Thank you!
@@VilodWacholderbeerenmet Have fun!
I never played a DragonQuest game in my life and I love JRPG's. I got this on a whim today and fell its greatness after 1hr of play. I regret not giving this series more of my time
This a great review and break down video.
Been playing Dragon Quest since III on the NES and have physical copies of 1-9 for NES, DS, 3DS respectively. Needless to say, this is a day one purchase on the Switch as my poor old PC can’t handle this game.
A great review and I can’t wait to explore the world (beyond the demo’s end in Hotto) this Friday. Who knew there was horse racing and other goodies glossed over in this review.
this game had everything that Tales of the Abyss had for me....Great story great cast of characters and lots of extras to keep u playing for games.....and LOTS of replayablitiy ......you want to replay the game JUST for the story and to try out a differnt rotation of skills for each character
Just earned my platinum trophy for the game yesterday. I loved every minute of it, it really brought me back to the PS2 era of ridiculously long and well-developed rpgs (:
great review very pleasant to watch !
You've completely won my heart over just mentioning Utawarerumono.
Thank you so much for this, helped me make my mind up to buy it :)
I have the Definitive Edition and I love replaying it, I somtimes do a new game+ by switching to 2D mode and then select the first chapter when switching back to 3D mode, it lets me enjoy the earlier acts at my leisure without all the grinding 😁
This review was really well done. Funny, informative, and engaging. ... and I totally want this game now.
if you play this on pc, the orchestral mod for the ingame music is a MUST.
This video just made me want to buy it when it comes out on Switch later this year
i've finished dq1,5, and 8. i'm currently 30hrs into this one and it is such a delightful experience! this game makes me smile a lot! also made me shed tears with the mermaid story.
Great review. And such a wonderful voice!
This game is insanely good, I had been waiting for something like this to come, and it's finally here.
It just went to my top 10 list after 40 hours.
I have been playing for only a couple of hours, but so far it has been incredible. The visuals are astonishingly beautiful, animations (including the hair!) are superfluid and the fun factor is ... well ... great! Best game I have played so far.
In 9 I remember characters got stronger from tension. When tension was pushed to the limit you got a purple aura with purple spiky hair. Those were fine times.
I like the subtlety of the game's subtitle - Echoes of an Elusive Age ... the age when DQ8 and before were new.
Slow going, but surely and steadily it builds up very well as the story progresses, and as you play through the latter half it gradually makes you realize it was worth it all along. It gets really good.
That sure-footedness, patience, and the craft that's gone into it is such a rare thing in today's gaming. I like how it streads the thin line between the old and new, I think it's the last of its kind in the big budget category. When this series is gone, this category of craft is forever gone from gaming. Long live DQ!
Love this video. Thank u!!
Definitely buying just got to decide which platform. What a wonderfully done review - informative and fun. I had to subscribe after that.
Great to hear! Hope you enjoy our other reviews.
Get the PC version - you can at least mod in the orchestral score
@@nicholasbrown4109 Will check that out, I do enjoy orchestral scores in movies and games. Thanks.
Awesome video ... Hilarious stuff, keep it up
Got this game on Switch instead of PC, but still highly recommend it. Especially when the steam deck comes out, this game and others like it will shine.
...playing it now on PS4. SIMPLY LOOOVE IT! The story is so awsome....full of twists and turns..and moving moment. Graphic are a feast for the eyes...colorfull smooth and beautiful! Love the crafting system..very new to me and original. Love the gamesystem....and the only thing I had to get use to again was the bit old`fashioned turn based system but easy to get use to again. Love the game voice acting...full og humour! Can only strongly recommend this game :)
I'm 35 hours in and I keep stopping to marvel at how beautiful each new area is.
Togashi is never going to finish HxH with these DQ games coming out 😪😂
I usually never watch more than a minute of a game review but this was great.
Ive only put about 25 hours into it and Im already hooked, this is gonna be taking over my life for the next week at least.
