Seasoned player here, had played this during the PS1 era haven't finished this once since you need memory card for you to save when playing this during that era and I wasn't able to get one since when I tried to play this it was the rise of PSP.

Anyways it just felt nostalgic as the day i started playing this when I was a kid. All felt original nothing had changed. But compared to the OG version, I like this better. Well for a couple of things. One it's on PC version now means you don't need to have emulator just to play this has a phone version but I did not attempt to buy since it's just expensive for my budget. I saw some blogs saying they modernized the BGM but i haven't really felt any difference at all it's as musical for me. There's a bit of stuttering during panning but it's not a big of a deal for me since I also tried to play the OG ver and still had the same stuttering issue. What I like about the most is the difficulty of the monsters and bosses. before you can just button mash your quick attack all the way to the final boss but on this one I had a bit of a hard time you'll enjoy more unlocking ST techniques, explore hidden move combos which differs depending on the weapon you've equipped. some bosses can perform ST one after another which was the most annoying part.

won't say it;s the best since it's has still the same concerns I faced before. Golem companion making, weapon / armor smithing and tempering are still a pain in both your head and your ass. you still need to search the one the y called mystic cards just to know the effects in words.

Nonetheless, I really enjoyed partly because it's just nostalgic for me but I approuched this game as if I was a newbie which was overall a good overhaul from the OG version.

Looking forward to the new game Vision of mana since it's been a looong time since this franchise had a new one . it did have a now one called echoes of mana available on android stayed online for i think 2 years then suddenly was shutting down.

You have more control over your RetroArch when you download it from their website just look it up on google. It feels like the version here is way outdated than the one you can download from their website.

Game supposed to have a good potential bringing back the franchise back to good ol' nfs vibe. story is divided into 4 which are on an acceptable level. Iconic cars from the old NFS like Eddie's Skyline from Underground, BMW M3 from Most Wanted and the 350Z from Underground 2 can be used here to burn some asphalt on the streets. Music selection is . . . . well . . . . for me are on neutral grounds, daytime set kinda made me feel sleepy while the nighttime set were bit OK i guess. I think they are trying to make the behaviors of the car feel more life-like but I don't know it just felt it still need more oomph. the game map is quite big, but it looks like they decided not to continue to with this version since there is a huge vacant part on the map on the left side which can be accessible only if you do the glitch method. graphics are good especially the weather effects. every detail of the car. But quite disappointing at the same time since it lags too much even when I had set it to the lowest settings the game can give, you actually need to find lag issue topics on other platforms like youtube to fix the said issue. This being said I give this game a 6 out of 10 but for the pricing best to buy around 599 PHP or lesser.

Too many Hackers

Hello aspiring ARKS operative,

This game somewhat gives off a Monster hunter or God Eater vibe, means that it might be harder for players who haven't played the games I mentioned or similar game-play. You might be wondering if it needs a high-end specs setup to play but as like me who only have a mid to low-end setup this pretty runs smoothly, worried on how to make your character look intimidating from the other players or like does this feel like Pay- to-gain advantage? worry not, the game has modes, events the gives rewards for you to be stronger and look dazzling where you can get it FOR FREE. worried if you might do something wrong on your progress and see the opening of browser to search for guides is a hassle? People playing the game is there to help you also all you have to do is man up and ask to them.

You can go hardcore or casual while playing the game, only concern is that the inventory since it has a limited amount of space, but you don't have to worry about that just keep track of the items you have.

I like this game. It only matters on how you manage your time to have fun
