Atelier Ryza is a series with ups and downs, but each game overall achieves at being a fun game, despite some questionable gameplay and story designs. It takes all of the good from the previous games and adds to it. Story is wonderful as always, and I cried at the end. Still have tremors thinking about it. Although it does slow down near the end when you have to revisit previous areas, but it still keeps the impact at the height of the climax. The only things I really dislike is the skill tree. You can't figure out what you're gonna be getting, or what skills lead to what, and the skill tree is really important, yet you don't have the knowledge unless you use a guide. Still, lovely game. One of my favorite JRPG games.

With the latest updates runs really well on steam deck! Great ending to a great series, hope everyone gives the trilogy a chance at some point it has some of my favorite characters of all time in it and watching them grow has been a joy.

Third game of the Ryza series. Back home, but something is not right. Atelier Ryza 3 takes a lot of what made the previous two titles a success, while also bringing out the open world aspect a lot more. There is also more ways to strengthen your characters, to the point where your damage becomes nutty. However, because of this, difficulty in this game can be near inexistant if you focus too much on alchemy. English voices are still not a thing. Not much is new since Ryza 2, but that's fine. The Key system was cool, but I'm a bit more on the neutral side when it comes to gameplay with them. I think "farming" them is a bit annoying, but heh. It's not that bad of a system though. I think the story may be the weakest point of the game. I feel like the pacing is kind of bad overall. I think the open world may be partially at fault here, because you can access almost all of a region without doing story when unlocking them. A lot of story segments just ended anticlimatically, most notablely the character's side stories. Overall, it's a fairly decent game. While not that different systematically from its prequel, it is was still enjoyable. You can feel the freedom to experience with alchemy very early on thanks to its vast open world. However, I was a bit disappointed with the story. The Ryza series has been a really strong one. Hopefully the future keeps looking this bright for this franchise. My Play Order at the time of this review: 1. Mysterious series (Sophie +, Firis -, Lydie & Suelle +) // 6. (Sophie 2 ++) 2. Arland series (Rorona +, Totori -, Meruru ++) // 4. (Lulua +) 3. Ryza series (Ryza ++, Ryza 2 ++) // 7. (Ryza 3 +) 5. Dusk series (Ayesha +, Escha & Logy ++, Shallie +)

Atelier Ryza 3 is an easy recommendation to people who have played the previous two games in the Secret series. Story details from the previous games are heavily referenced and returning characters build on the bonds forged on the last adventures. The Atelier games are RPGs that balance combat, crafting (synthesizing) and gathering. You HAVE to make everything; weapons, gear, accessories, traveling equipment, consumables, etc. It'd be strange if you spent more time in combat than synthesizing. The synthesis system in the Atelier Ryza games is pretty fun. You follow a recipe that requires a specific ingredient or an ingredient of a certain category/element. The ingredients themselves have traits that can be inherited into the final product. The main new mechanic in Ryza 3 is the Key Creation system, you basically can create these keys in-combat from weakened enemies or from fast travel locations. These keys (depending on rarity and RNG) can provide buffs in several aspects of the game. You can use one mid-combat, use one while gathering, use it during synthesis, etc. It's a little overwhelming at first and it took me a while to understand how powerful keys were, but I thought it was interesting. As for the rest of the game, I'm not a fan of how much Ryza 3 leans towards "Open World". The maps in-game are large and there's a lot to explore, however, I found that a lot of the ingredients would repeat themselves too often. Honestly, I don't think they knew what to do with so much space. By the time I finished the main story, I think I uncovered 1/3 of the landmarks (fast travel locations) across all regions. Even after uncovering all of these landmarks (for 100% achievements), there seemed to be a lot of NOTHING going on aside from the occasional dungeon that hosts a quest or two. While I appreciate them adding the Ryza 1 areas, they were barely used too. As for the story, I'm split down the middle. Personally, I don't find it satisfying because there's a lack of an actual antagonist . Contrary to this, I really like the characters. Everyone in the cast has a personal struggle and it's great to see how the characters rely on each other. Though, I feel like they overdo it sometimes with the character quests. I don't like getting bombarded with slice of life cutscenes when I'm progressing through the main quest or just want to go back to the atelier to craft something. Ryza 2 had a similar issue and that felt 10x worse ... so I guess they eased up on it a bit since then. Combat is immaculate, it was very fun and I never got bored. I think the combat system has come a long way since Ryza 1. My favorite parts are the skill combos, swapping characters mid-fight, and the option to change which abilities trigger from Action Orders and when. It kept things from getting dull. Klaudia is best bard! Those are my overall thoughts on Ryza 3. I'm kinda sad that Ryza's series has come to an end, but definitely looking forward to what Atelier Yumia has to offer in 2025. I hope a lot of my issues with the "open world" stuff in Ryza 3 are addressed then.

One of the most engaging crafting systems in RPG I've played ... until I found that creating infinite "dust" (a currency to copy crafted items) is allowed by the game (It seems like it's by design, but this design seems to be an huge oversight). But until then, it was very fun. The combat is mediocre, but in the meantime it's not so bad that it's unbearable. There's still a decent amount of item synergies to try out. P.S. The game would be much better if steam wouldn't start recommending me all those adult games after I buy this one. I mean c'mon, it's just a game with cute anime girls.
