Strangely addictive. It's a really nice, casual yet casual kind of game. It scratches your idler game itch (even though the game is not necessarily an idler). Runs perfectly on Linux as well.

The game is surprisingly good.

I really enjoyed the story for the most part. After playing previous Sherlock Holmes games that I just can't stick with due to the frustrating outdated gameplay, this game addressed most of my complaints from those games. It's still not perfect, but it is still the best one yet looking at it chronologically. When I can look past these issues and excusing the age of the game, the game is really enjoyable. Shame the fps is capped at 60.

I truly enjoyed how the game gives you choice to play it in 3 different perspectives: first person, third person, and classic point and click. I really liked the idea and the implementation. There's only one specific point in the game where I overlooked an item because it was quite well hidden if you are playing it on third person perspective. Other than that, everything works well.

One thing to note though, I don't know why but I have experienced this issue since the past Sherlock Holmes game that already implemented the first person perspective, whenever I play on first person it makes me want to puke. There's something in this game that doesn't sit well with me and every time I use the first person perspective it caused motion sickness. I am not sure why as I have played hundreds of games using first person perspective since I was a kid.

Most puzzles are good, really fun and satisfying. Some can be really challenging and make your brain gear moving. Although there are moments here and there where the puzzle felt arbitrary and/or explained poorly. I think this is yet another thing that were just overlooked at the time. I hope the next game I play in this series are better at it.

Voice acting in this game also has its own charms. It's not great, but it felt perfect for the game. It's just quite charming and make the game richer.

If you can live with some of the old game design this game suffered from, it's a really fun experience.

Decades of playing JRPG, countless of remastered and remake, and thought I have seen it all. Proven wrong last year with Trails 1st Chapter, and proven wrong yet again by 2nd Chapter.

This is the best game Falcom ever made. I still can't believe that a remake would become one of, if not, the best JRPG I have ever played. Amazing throughout, from top to bottom. What an amazing game. The quality of every single aspect is just so wonderful. Animation, music, voice acting, story, gameplay, all of them crafted with so much attention and love. It truly felt like a love letter for the fans.

For those who have played the original game, we already knew the story, but the game just perfectly retell the story and even if you have played the original game it still hits you nevertheless. One of the biggest aspect on why it works is that now we are relieving the story with a full blown 3D animation and also dubbed by amazing performances by the Japanese voice actors.

The original music was great, but now retouched with rearrangement and it became an amazing masterpiece.

The gameplay is as creative and tight as always. Using their staple of orbment system, but also mixed with newer quick battle system, truly brings out the richness of the game. I genuinely think that this is the best gameplay in Trails entries. I love this combat system the most. QoL is also a huge point of the game as a step to modernize the game, although I am still missing one feature that I think Trails game should have which is orbment presets as we might want to tweak our orbments setup throughout the game.

Masterpiece. One of my favourite JRPG I've ever played. A remake that's so easily loved by fans of the original series and new players alike. I am truly happy that more people are getting into this franchise.

It's a fun little game. It scratch the itch of having idler game running on your PC and it can be finished in one sitting.
It's far from perfect but at the same time it does what it was supposed to do.

I am not sure if it's worth the price, but I got it on almost half the price and I feel content with it.
