   The amount of time it takes to reach the conclusion of The Crystal Bearers can vary wildly depending on how much combat you decide to bother with and how much time you spend trying to figure out how to get where you're going, but regardless of whether it takes you eight hours or 15, you won't enjoy most of that time. A game this beautiful, with an exciting, well-told story like this one, should have gameplay that makes you want to spend time in its world. Read more

   • Richly detailed and diverse world, Exciting, well-told story.
   • Shallow, repetitive combat, Absence of map makes it easy to get lost, Character customization is uninvolving.

   Let's make one thing clear: this game does not play like a traditional Final Fantasy game. There are no experience points, levelling, or random encounters, and the entire game is over in about 10 hours. The game plays like a collection of minigames, although there are regular, lengthy sections of free-roaming adventure. For example, after a two minute introductory cut scene, your character is falling through the air, shooting down birds in a lightgun-esque game. Read more
