Forums - Gaming Discussion - Shining Resonance Refrain gets 73 on Opencritic. Similar scores on metacritic.

About what I expected. It's no Persona 5, but I enjoyed the demo and am buying the full game. I wanted this game back when it was on PS3 and at that time, I never expected it to come out in English. Waiting for Sega to release anything other than Sonic, Total War, or Aliens at that time was an exercise in disappointment. I hope Sega keeps on sending RPGs over. I'd love to play Sakura Wars 6 in English.

The reviewer at Attack of the Fanboy, was saying that the AI is not good. I guess enemies and allies alike do silly things, like a Mage using physical attacks instead of casting spells.

That looks cool. I wasn't referring specifically to having a game like P5, but more like having a game with the production quality of P5.



Played the demo today its decent. The demo could have been a bit longer though. I might buy it when its on sale for $29.99 or $24.99.

I’ll be writing up a review for the site ASAP so stay tuned for that!

Oh yeah, I think I added VGchartz to my contributor list on Opencritic. ETA on the review? Is anybody reviewing Octopath Traveler for this site? 

Aiming for Sunday at the latest -- hopefully earlier. 

Nicholas Taylor will be reviewing Octopath Traveler.

Well, then. You best get to stepping!

I was semi-interested in this one, until I realized that it was being made by the same people that did Valkyria Revolution

From what I've read, combat is clunky, the story and settings are very generic, and the game is extremely grindy. 

and now you're less interested in the game. That I can fully understand.
