Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream - PlayStation 4

I have played all of the modern Atelier games before this so was always going to buy it. The graphics are the best we have seen in an Atelier game, and I think the alchemy system is one of the best if not these best - sometimes I spend way too long creating items with the puzzles to get them just right. The combat is turn based and I like how each character is unique and poses their owns strengths and weaknesses, can only use certain item types, etc. So the combat portion is strategic and enjoyable but not the best I've seen. This is also a good starting point, playing the first Sophie game beforehand is really not required, as the story and really all other characters are stand-alone. The story and characters are probably below average but it was the gameplay that kept me coming back.

Story is almost completely disconnected from the first Atelier Sophie game, so newcomers shouldn’t be discouraged. Not particularly challenging but a good, chill time.

Latest Atelier game in the series and returns to the story of Sophie and Plachta, graphics are the latest rendition of the series and are quite nice

Love the series. I always enjoy the crafting and exploring. The story and characters are great as well.

Another fun game in the Atelier series. Gorgeous art, captivating gameplay.

Great series for the playstation 4. Try the game even if you never played one.

having fun with the game, it came with no problem. no damages

Atelier Sophie 2 is a highly polished alchemy item creation game that has a fun and delightful storyline. The battles are traditional turn based allowing you to use physical, magical, and item based weapons. There is no time limit to do things in the game. The alchemy is somewhat convoluted with the explanations not fully fleshed out.
