This game kicks a ton of ass and I'm still bummed out that PSO2 and PSO2: New Genesis do not carry the same vibe forward. PSO is a near perfect multiplayer action RPG with loot that drops at the perfect rate to not be overwhelming. I only ever played the Dreamcast release and so I've never seen any of the later episodes that were added.

Genuinely struggle to put into words how stellar this game is. The sights, the sounds, the world; it's all immaculate. Maybe the most well realized game I have ever played. Everything, and I mean everything; the art, environments, music, sound effects, MENUS, presentation, all meld perfectly into one of the most soulful and imagined experiences I've ever played. At times thrilling, at times haunting, at times depressing, at times hopeful. Nothing will ever even come close to matching this.
