The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales - Digital Deluxe Edition

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales isn’t without blemishes, but it’s still a great action-adventure game that continues to prove why the HD-2D art style is among the best around.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a surprisingly strong first attempt at reaching into this genre from a studio not known for it.

Belief in brevity helps an infectious passion shine through well-worn locales and plotting.

She can resurrect you on the spot as many times as you like. For a price, that is.

Despite the successes of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, I can't help but feel it doesn't make full use of its time-travel potential, both in its overworld and in its story.

The seamless change from turn-based to action combat proves how timeless the HD-2D art direction is. The Adventures of Elliot not only looks beautiful, but has a story to match. Elliot's journey transcends time and space to deliver an emotional gut punch that'll stick with me for a while.Despite performance issues on Switch 2, there's tons of gameplay variety and fun exploration, which makes it one adventure you'll want to make time for.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a solid, but sometimes disappointing, transition into action-RPGs for Square Enix's HD-2D series.

The Adventures of Elliot transcends its minor limitations with gorgeous settings, addictive gameplay, and ends as a magical experience destined for a place in the hearts of RPGFan readers everywhere.

For anyone who loves old-school Zelda-style action games, Elliot's story proves to be an adventure worth embarking on.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales serves as a charming love letter to the golden age of top-down action RPGs. While its narrow world design fails to capitalize on its time-travel setting, the experience is heavily elevated by snappy and surprisingly deep combat and a flexible character customization system, making the game one worth experiencing for fans of the genre looking for a modernized take on a classic formula.
