An absolutely charming game. "Pollyanna" alone warrants a 5-star rating, but unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't quite hold up and is a bit of a slog. I imagine that if I had played this in the 90's (and when I had more patience to even do JRPG grinds) my mind would have been blown—especially because it plays around with early JRPG tropes. However, in this Switch rerelease—in the year of our lord 2022—it's hard to recommend to anyone but ardent JRPG or Earthbound fans.
