    Review: Lost Sphear (PS4)

    Memory is reconstructive

    It's one thing to make a game in the style of a classic 90s role-playing title, but it's another thing entirely to make one that matches the heart and focus of those beloved titles of yesteryear. Lost Sphear marks Tokyo RPG Factory's second attempt at rekindling a spark of the past as the developer continues to pump out old-school RPGs.

    It makes sense, then, that Lost Sphear finds inspiration in so many prior games. The battle system may be a slight development on the one introduced in I Am Setsuna, but it's a combination of Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and Xenogears that deserves the royalties.
    [...]

    Conclusion
    A less focused outing than its predecessor, Lost Sphear gets lost amid its various, undercooked systems, and it fails to successfully consolidate its many inspirations. It's a pleasant enough game with a nice aesthetic, but we doubt we'll be looking back on this one with too much sentimentality.

    Score 6/10 - Not Bad
