A great game
I'm quite cheap when it comes to games: I never buy them full price, I always wait for a discount. My backlog of game to play is so big I need multiple lives to complete it anyway. Chained Echoes is the exception. I'm a big fan of SNES-era JRPG, and the trailer alone convinced me enough to buy it full price. It was mainly done by one person in 8 years, which is crazy to me, so I wanted to support that. I discovered it two weeks ago from a Youtube comment (didn't know it was possible to discover something that way :D), and I finished it yesterday. The story is really good, and the writing is clear and straight to the point. It's a bit complicated to follow at time, but the world feels more alive and immersive because you feel that the characters know the world (and don't break the fourth wall by explaining everything to you, The Player). Great 2D pixel-art; some stuffs are less good than others (the portraits are sometimes... expressionless). But overall it's very good. The combats are way better than all the inspirations of the game (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Terranigma...), even if they are more difficult, and sometimes punishing. My favorite aspect: there are no trash fights. I found all the encounters interesting, which never happened before with a JRPG. There's a lot of gears customization too, which can be clunky at time, but still super interesting. In short: a very solid game, if you enjoy SNES-era JRPG, you'll enjoy this one.
