Gosh, I hardly know what to say. There are some games--Shining Force 2 is one of them for me--that feel like eating a chocolate chip cookie with a warm cup of coffee all snuggled up while the snow is falling down outside.

Lunar is a cozy game; it goes down so smoothly and so easily. It's so cozy and goes down so easily because of the Sega CD which just so happens to be perfect.

And so is this game. The graphics are gorgeous, the soundtrack is wonderful--including songs that sound like they had one of those slidey-tubey sound things as an instrument.

Also the CD-System animations and the voice over and the lovely and cheesy Working Designs localization...all of it is perfect.

You won't find anything here but the absolute best vibes in the universe. If you don't find early 90s CD-Era animated cutscenes and chintzy voice acting charming, genuinely don't waste your time! But if you do, playing this game will be a very, very lovely time for you.

What else can I say? I love it.
