But whether you're a returning fan or new to the series, be warned that Agarest 2's story is far darker, cuder, and more of a "grim reality" compared to previous games.

While the presentation is clean and consistent, it also reflects the game’s niche roots, with visuals that feel functional rather than lavish.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 159 sampled reviews raised it
