this game blew my entire mind in elementary school tbh and i still think it's pretty good. it did a great job shifting the series from 2d to 3d and continuing to deliver on the strengths of golden sun: neat puzzle dungeons, a huge world to explore, & a cast of characters with really cool magic abilities. maybe it's not quite as strong as the original duology, but i still think it deserves a sequel, and is worth a playthrough if you're craving a fun little rpg adventure you can put in your pocket :)
