Maybe I just got a soft spot for console games that try to aim for something way above what the hardware was capable of doing but I actually find Virtual Hydlide somewhat enjoyable. Once you get past the abysmal framerate you got what is quite possibly one of the most ambitious games not only on the Sega Saturn but from that era of console gaming in general. Everything this game attempted is now almost commonplace in RPGs today(open world, real time clock, save anywhere, randomly generated world) which makes this a fascinating game to play even if you don't find it fun. While it might seem terrible at first glance and easy to be swayed by its negative reputation I recommend giving Virtual Hydlide a fair chance if only to see how cutting edge it was.
