There are NO SPOILERS in this review.
It's been a while since I've written a
video game review because of two reasons: 1, I don't have that much
time to play video games these days and 2, there haven't been many
games that have impressed me enough to write a review, though a
recent exception is Ana Ribeiro's VR game, Pixel Ripped 1989. I love
Pixel Ripped, and if you missed my review, you can find out why I
liked it so much, here:

If you've been following my posts over
the years, though, you'll know that I've always been on a personal
quest to find an RPG that captures me like they used to, decades ago.
I'm talking about the kind of RPG that I totally lose myself in,
where I fall in love with the characters, play longer than I should
because I'm so engaged with the story, and enjoy it all the way to
very end. The truth is, I rarely encounter RPG video games like that
anymore, and it's been a while since I liked something enough to
solve it. I often lose interest along the way for various reasons,
such as annoying load times, lack of a clear quest system so I forget
where I left off, arrival at an impasse because I either didn't level
up enough or just plain couldn't figure out what to do next, etc.
Over a decade ago on the PS2 I played and solved Dragon Quest VIII; I
loved the game, despite the FREQUENT random encounters that
constantly interrupted my travels. With the recent release of Dragon
Quest XI, I decided to try the series again, and wow, I think I've
found another gem!
