Oh look, I'm back! I was sick this weekend, which was poo, but it was thankfully only a 48 hour thing (mostly gone now) and I had plenty of video game time!

Anywho, next on the list, I'm sorry Fynn,

Radiant Historia is a story about a place that faces desertification, basically a plague, and our hero Stocke who can travel through time to save the dying world. The player has a lot of decisions to make, but can travel back in time and change which decisions he makes, in order to basically save the world.


Why didn't this game make my list? If you scroll back to one of my other entries, you will see me explain that I am not good at political stories. At all. Why? I don't know, I think it has to do with all of the people you have to keep track of who have very complicated and intertwining stories. I'm awful with names (I once called a poor schoolmate by the wrong name for like three years without knowing) and couple that with a complicated story and I'm just lost. Sadly that meant what is surely a good story was lost on me because I had to stop and take notes. And go over them repeatedly.


Not to mention when you add the time travel aspect to it. I would get so confused because I thought one thing happened, then I remembered it happened in the other timeline, and the whole thing would just mess me up. I'm a bit sad because the story did seem very interesting, and there were some incredibly touching moments whether I understood the full plotline or not. The characters are interesting and well written, which is a bonus. The gameplay is good, although nothing special to me.



Kiel is frickin adorbale. Anyways, this is a great game for people who like political stories, or have an easier time following them. The setting is a bit drab, but I think in this case it creates good atmosphere, although not really any locations that made me go "wow!" The overarching story is really strong, after I read a summary about 4 times and finally understood it. Overall a strong RPG, only minor complaints. It's just hard to add it to my top games list when I struggled so much to figured out what was going on :P
