Impressive and streamlined ARPG that doesn't waste your time, sitting around 15-ish hours to thoroughly complete. Lovely music and environments, simple yet engaging combat, an above-average story / setting the game doesn't force you to engage with, and enough secrets / eccentricities to add a unique charm throughout the experience. There are a few issues here and there with this port (e.g. achievements not unlocking when they should, your mouse cursor not always being visible alongside a controller, an early-game enemy damaging an entire room when it dies rather than the intended small AoE around it), but they're easily ignorable or surmountable. Despite this being a semi-shoddy port of a 2005 PC game, Xanadu Next feels surprisingly like a rock-solid entry from the Indie-scene of today. At the full-price of $15, this is a great buy, and at any discount it's a steal. Definitely something I'll be replaying every few years.

I am not far in but I am already in love. It has the rpg systems and art style of a Fina Fantasy game, the combat on Diablo, with the dungeon delving/puzzling of Zelda. It might not tie it all together perfectly but what's here is delightful.

This game triggers something on me. A sensation of nostalgia for these old graphics and this style. I love it. The story reflects it's time and I highly recommend if you're looking for a great rpg to play!

Great RPG with less of a regular action focus like YS, it instead feels closer to something like an MMO without any sort of fat, less than 15h long and rather tasteful storyline, lean, mean and full of heart
