Number 18, Year 2021:

Trials of Mana (2020)

A 3D remake of 1995 RPG Seiken Densetsu 3, sequel to Secret of Mana. Available for PC, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Believe it or not, this is just my third physical Switch game since 2017.
I first played the original SD3 last year and absolutely loved it, expectedly so! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤭" title="Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund">

I had even written a full review of SD3, but it was on my old account which I nuked, so it& #39;s been lost along with every review I wrote last year. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥲" title="Smiling face with tear" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with tear">

But I still remember the game pretty well!
In my original playthrough, I& #39;d picked Riesz, Charlotte and Angela, a character from each narrative arc. I didn& #39;t know any better when I started it, and later I found out that wasn& #39;t the most optimized team -- in fact, I had unwittingly made my experience much more difficult! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. I& #39;ve been looking forward to this remake since it came out, and I& #39;m eager to start it soon! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht"> I love the Mana series, and I& #39;m glad to see the games getting the quality remake treatment – even though IMO that 2018 SD2 remake was pretty bad.
I& #39;ll begin as soon as my Switch is done charging. Not sure I& #39;ll post (m)any updates today because I do not enjoy playing video games at night, but I& #39;ll at least boot it up, watch the intro, and pick my team.

After due consideration, I decided I will no longer write a review for Trials of Mana.

Though I& #39;ve written an introduction, this thread is meant for listing only. I& #39;ll be back here eventually with proof of completion, but that& #39;ll be it.

I appreciate your understanding. :)
