The first Atelier Ryza served as a softer introduction to the Atelier RPG series, boasting some serious eye candy in character design, accessible combat, and light story. A little over a year later, the sequel has already landed on our desks. Read our Atelier Ryza 2 PS5 review to see if this sequel is a worthy successor, or if Ryza was just a one-hit wonder.
Atelier Ryza 2 PS5 Review ? Next-Gen, Technically
Atelier Ryza 2 may be a PlayStation 5 game, but it doesn?t really look or feel like it. The world looks nice, if perhaps generic, and things scale to a 4K resolution without problem. Walking around in most areas feels kind of jittery, with a slightly inconsistent frame rate that shows up at random. Thankfully though, combat doesn?t suffer from any stuttering. Overall, Atelier Ryza 2 doesn?t look much different compared to a PS4 game. HDR isn?t implemented, which is a shame because in a world full of such bright colors, some extra pop would?ve been great.
