| Super_Boom said: Golden Sun: Dark Dawn - Not the worst game ever...and I'd probably give it a solid 7/10...but it felt very standard in comparison to the amazing first two games. I do hope the franchise returns, but I worry that the lukewarm reception of the last entry will shelve this series for a while. |
Dark Dawn did so much wrong, I'm pretty sure we'll never see another Golden Sun game. The Golden Sun series already wasn't huge. The fact that we got Dark Dawn at all surprised me back when it was announced despite being a huge fan of the GBA games. All it would take was one mediocre entry that didn't sell all that well to essentially condemn the series. Then Dark Dawn came along with a very average to low difficulty, a story that had no ability to stand on its own without the GBA titles, and a cliffhanger ending that didn't even make the entry satisfying to complete.
I agree it wasn't the worst game ever, but its painfully average everything likely pushed Golden Sun into the "maybe we'll reboot the series someday" IP stack.
