Grandia HD Collection – Still A Bloody Good Game (Jimpressions)


Close Ad ×


Grandia HD Collection is a hefty reminder of what a clever, heartfelt, unique JRPG experience looks like. Square Enix could stand to take notes.

I have a history of starting Grandia and never finishing it, so I’m appreciating the chance to finally get through it. It’s still really good. Holds up terrifically, with a famous battle system that feels as fresh as it ever did.

Great game… albeit one that really shows off in the graphics department, sometimes a bit too much.
