I hate to call any developers lazy, because making a game of any size or quality is a herculean task, but that’s what this port feels like to me: lazy.
#BRAVELY DEFAULT 2 SWITCH REVIEW PC#
Bravely Default is supposed to bring you back to the golden era of RPGs with modern conveniences, but II on PC is more like going back to the stone age of Japanese PC ports rush jobs with very little effort put in.
Sure, you can use left and right click to confirm or cancel, but there’s no cursor whatsoever and you can’t even control the camera on the world map with it. Heck, the game doesn’t even support Cloud Saves for goodness sake.įor a game so reliant on menus, you’d think adding mouse support would be a priority, but the game is keyboard only. I wasn’t expecting Square to fix my problems with the game’s design or character animations, but I certainly thought they would put more care into a PC port. In particular, Elvis’ book, which is a major plot element throughout the entire game, looks less like a book and more like a gross fleshy mass. Medium is around the quality of the Switch version, but High honestly doesn’t look much better. The former has three presets: Low, Medium, and High. Attempting to set your resolution higher than your monitor will have the game immediately revert back, so the game doesn’t support Dynamic Super Resolution if I understand the term correctly.Īpart from resolution and frame rate, which will match your monitor when VSync is turned on, there are only two other graphics options total: the nebulous Graphics Quality, and LOD/Culling Distance. On the surface, it looks better than the console version, but the game is severely lacking in options. You can set the resolution all the way up to 3840 by 2160 and supposedly the game supports high refresh rate monitors, though I don’t have the hardware to test this. The most notable upgrades to BDII are immediately apparent: the resolution and frame rate. The content itself is exactly the same, so we’ll be focusing on the quality of the port. It’s only been a few months since the game was released on Switch, and now the game has been ported to PC through Steam.
#BRAVELY DEFAULT 2 SWITCH REVIEW SERIES#
You can read my review here, but the gist is that it discards what made the previous games in the series special. I had my problems with Bravely Default II, but it was still a good game despite its flaws.
