This is the classic Coca-Cola of JRPGs. It's not doing anything revolutionary or new be it in the game design, story, or presentation but it's perfected down to a molecular level with a brilliant polish that you won't find in most other games of the genre on a good day. You can't go wrong with the iconic Akira Toriyama character designs or the simple fantasy narrative of a Dragon Quest game but the music? It's frankly exhausting and will grate on your nerves if you have any ounce of sanity in you. I'm going to be putting 60+ hours into a game and you're giving me only one music track for combat and exploring? It really starts turning Dragon Quest into Draggin' Quest as I want to brutally rip my ears off as the trumpets from the battle theme start again as I begin my 27th combat encounter in the hour. It's not even an objectively bad track! I'm just exhausted with hearing it. I'm going to have to grind at some point and this is the treatment I have to suffer with? It's the only negative thing I can muster to complain about this game. It's a simple and fun JRPG romp that I'd recommend to those unfamiliar with the genre who want an entry to dip their toes in as well as fans of the medium who are well versed in similar franchises. Just maybe have Spotify or YouTube ready and loaded up in the background if you start grinding so you're not cringing in agony after hearing the same music ad naseum.

Having played 120~ hours on the Switch version I can say with confidence that DQ11S is THE JRPG. This game has EVERYTHING a staple JRPG should have. A large world to explore. A miniature top-down world map to traverse through. A very fun and in-depth turn-based battle system. A grand storyline with lots and lots of NPCs and story arcs that develop the characters. Main party synergy and camaraderie through banter and party-attacks. Tons of sidequests. Different way to build your party members. Etc. I could go on and on, but it checks every single box! There is so much content and so much love put into this game that I seriously can't believe it even exists. I love this game so much that I bought it a 2nd time. If you want a graphics update go to nexusmods and mod this game, it's super easy anyone can do it. Please play this masterpiece of a game!

It's a classic JRPG experience with modern quality of life features I don't think this one's really doing anything new, but it's got everything you want wrapped up in a neat lil bow, and the presentation is pretty excellent. If you've never played a Dragon Quest game before, I'd say they're kinda like the Spider-Man to Final Fantasy's Batman. While Final Fantasy likes to be darker and edgier, Dragon Quest is all about having a good time with tongue and cheek characters, puns up the ass, and simple yet enjoyable gameplay (combat has a speed up button, too). If you hate turn-based JRPGs, I don't think this is going to change your mind, but if you don't, this is like a buffet with all your favorites. Sylvando is an S-tier character.

One of the best games of all time. No previous Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior experience needed. This game stands on it own and is filled with much lore, action, intrigue, and life lessons. You will laugh. You will cry. You will forever remember this game.

Slow and steady. I play this on nights I’m trying to relax and go to bed. Honestly this game is incredible, its beautiful, its fun. But its so relaxing it’s definitely my end day game. Normally I’d downvote a game for putting me to sleep….but yeah it’s putting me to sleep for the right reasons. Weird Highly recommend this game for the after the 9-5 shift, paired with a nice cup of tea or maybe a gin and tonic. Flawless
