Review of 8-Bit Adventures 2 (PS5)

Capturing the essence of classic Japanese RPGs has been a quest for many indie developers, yet few have succeeded with the flair and assurance that Critical Games brings to the table. This Australian team has crafted something truly unique with 8-Bit Adventures 2—a game that doesn’t lose its own identity in its homage to the beloved old-school titles it cherishes.

Harnessing nostalgia can be tricky. Often, games aiming to evoke the simpler times fall into the trap of being mere shadows of the iconic titles they emulate. However, 8-Bit Adventures 2 confidently avoids this pitfall, standing strong on its own merit. One standout feature is its exceptional writing, imbued with character and life. The dialogue flies off the screen with a rapid pace and wit, quickly endearing players to the core group of characters.

While this is indeed a sequel, with nods to the original 8-Bit Adventures—although it’s not available on PlayStation—its story unfolds years later, dealing with the ripples left by the world-altering events of its predecessor. The game takes place in a world that already knows its heroes, providing an intriguing narrative twist. The young lead, Charlie, yearns to walk in their legendary footsteps, soon finding himself fighting by their side as they grapple with the fallout of their past deeds.

Rest assured, you don’t need to have played the first installment to enjoy the sequel; in fact, the game excels at bringing newcomers up to speed seamlessly.

What really ties 8-Bit Adventures 2 together is its streamlined yet thoughtfully calibrated gameplay. The focus is on turn-based combat, where each party member shines with their distinct abilities. While the game doesn’t offer extensive options for party customization or strategic tweaking, its relatively linear progression complements the story’s pacing beautifully. A broad array of enemy types, each with specific strengths, weaknesses, and behaviors, adds essential complexity to the combat system.

In essence, 8-Bit Adventures 2 is a beautifully crafted tribute to the classics while standing as an engaging RPG on its own. It’s easily one of the standout indie titles driven by nostalgia that you’ll find available today.
