Alternating between M&L Brothership and Romancing SaGa 2 Revenge of the Seven is my jam. Will do that until I finish one of them to include the remake of DQ III into the rotation. It's an RPG kind of holiday for me haha.
As for Brothership, it definitely goes for a slower pace ride early on, unlike most of the previous titles actually. But after the first boss, the game has finally found its groove. As for the critics, some of them going on after the tutorials and the hand-holding were probably either impatient or smoking cracks. Though I understand the concern about the early game, it's just that the game does go past it and definitely improves as it goes.
There's really an art I appreciate about RPGs that aren't willing to give you everything on a silver plater and overwhelm a player during it's opening act and instead cruises you through for better payoff later on.
On the other hand, Romancing SaGa 2 is the modernized quintessence of an old school RPG taking a new form and finally shining after getting all the bells and whistles it couldn't have back then on the SNES. It's incredibly approachable for newcomers but it doesn't forgo the difficult original experience. The game has one of the most unique free flowing progression I played in an RPG
Honestly, I'd say it is amongst the best 3 games I played this year so far.
