To me, Solatorobo is a reminder of how amazing video games can be as a medium. It masterfully builds a beautiful world full of creative regions, compelling characters, and atmospheric tunes in addition to one of my favorite stories in a video game.
As a NDS game, CyberConnect2 absolutely pushed the system to its limit and rewarded us with a technical delight that surpasses some of the console's best games of all time. It's not often where I can confidently feel that a dev fully utilized the hardware they were working with, but it's just that good in this case.
Overall, damn. I'm honestly struggling to convey just how much I loved this game and I can only hope that somehow, someway, more people catch on to this absolute masterpiece. If more studios took a fraction of the love and passion that CyberConnect2 had while making this one, we'd almost certainly be in a world where the Gollum video game doesn't exist.
