On a Hot Streak
Granblue Fantasy: Relinkwas released in the midst of some heavy-hitting games likeLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, andPersona 3 Reload. Still, it held its ground and surprised quite a lot of people with its engaging gameplay and intriguing story. A demo for the game dropped in early January, which gave the game some attention.
It also helps thatGranblue Fantasy: Relinkincludes multiplayer, making it a bit more sociable than your average RPG. Surprisingly, or maybe not due to its multiplayer leanings, theSteam Databaseshows the game outdoingPersona 3 ReloadandLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealthin player count on that platform. For a series that’s only a decade old and started as a Japan-exclusive mobile game, it’s doing incredible.
I’ll be honest: I haven’t had the chance to hop onto theGranblue Fantasy: Relinktrain. I do plan to play the demo, since RPGs are some of my favorite games. I mean, its combat looks likeTales of Arise, andI knowTales of Arise. It’s right up my alley. We did have the amazing Steven Mills on the case, who gave the game an8 out of 10. Seems like it’s a good time to get on theGranbluetrain.
