Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

I just got the game and haven't been able to put down the controller, good story, good gameplay, good artstyle, good voice acting and amazing graphics, plus that best buy bonus is pretty sweet.

Ryza 2 is pretty much what you'd expect from an atelier game, a fairly basic rpg story with a deep crafting system to get lost in. Simple as it is, the game's loop of going out into a dungeon, grabbing everything that isn't nailed down, then mcguyvering it into monster obliterating superweapons is always a good time. Like most recent atelier games there is no time limit either, keeping it a very relaxed experience, combat is atb rather than turn based, much like ryza 1, and is quite fun once you understand how it works. Do be aware that, like the last couple entries this game is Japanese audio only, with english text. The game is relatively short for a jrpg, so it's not a huge time investment, 100 percenting the game took me around 65 hours, but a ton of that time was spent playing around with crafting, a more casual playthrough would probably run around 20 hours, far less if you only do mandatory content. All in all a great little game, if you like mmo style crafting, or like jrpgs, and don't mind (or prefer) Japanese audio, you should enjoy it a great deal.

Really fun game and a huge step up from the first. Gust makes such good gameplay.

Another Great Addition to the Ryza story. If you like the Atelier series this is an easy pick up. Lots of RPG, lots of potion crafting. Lots of story and characters to explore.

Ryza 1 was a great game, and 2 works to improve upon it in every way. The visuals, gameplay and even story are a step up. I would recommend this to any fan of the first.

This game is a great sequel with awesome graphics and story, I will recommend this game to anyone that wants to play a true JRPG! Just be warned it is in Japanese with English subtitles! And play the first game before this game or else you will not understand this game!

Excellent sequel to the first. Adds upon the first game in many ways, like gameplay, graphics, etc. New and more streamlined battle and crafting systems makes for a fresh experience that differentiates it from the first game.

Amazing Sequel to an amazing game! Artwork is amazing, visually a big step up from the original. Visuals are improved obviously over the switch version, plus there is a free PS5 upgrade if you own the system!
