There it is, my first review on this new website! I was actually gonna delay posting my first review for a big stupid joke, but Garfield Kart isn’t worth playing enough of to be able to actually review it (it’s free as of this writing on IndieGala if you want to waste your time). Unfortunate, but instead I get to review a game I like, so yay!

This is a sequel to a game I really enjoyed. The first Atelier Ryza was a pretty different game than other Atelier games I played, namely due to the lack of a time management mechanic. Despite the change, it was a really fun game that had a nice calm feel and cool combat and alchemy that was a bit different from before. I was going to the second one expecting much of the same as the first, maybe with some improvements.

So let’s go and check it out!
