Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

Here's what the critics had to say. Square Enix's new HD-2D title The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is finally out this week, and after two demos and a player survey, the reviews have now gone live. If you haven't already taken a look at our own review here on Nintendo Life, we're impressed with not only Elliot's adventure, but also Square Enix's ability to adapt the art style to the action combat genre. Admittedly, we did encounter some performance issues on Switch 2, but thankfull

The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Makes A Strong Argument For Silent Protagonists

In a relatively short time, Team Asano at Square Enix has made a name for itself. Between the Bravely and Octopath series, it has become known for taking a fresh look at retro RPGs by experimenting with new ideas and visual styles, creating games that feel both familiar and new. The developer takes a similar approach when it comes to The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, an action-adventure RPG that emulates the feel of a top-down Legend of Zelda or Mana game but uses the studio's sign

Review: The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Switch 2) - An Emotional Journey Through Space And Time

Witness the Millennium. Square Enix’s HD-2D art style has done wonders for its games. From creating new IPs like Triangle Strategy and Octopath Traveler, to tasteful remakes like the Dragon Quest Erdrick trilogy and Live a Live, the charming presentation has been able to deliver modern gameplay while still invoking a retro feeling. So far, the HD-2D style has been used for only turn-based games, until now. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is the first HD-2D game with real-time acti

The First Review Is In For The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

Famitsu gets ahead of the main embargo. Arguably the biggest new Xbox release this week is Square Enix's The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, and while we've still got a few days until its June 18th release, the first review has officially arrived for it. This is coming from the Japanese outlet Famitsu, which has given the game a 34/40 rating. We haven't found a transcript of the review itself yet, but the score has been doing the rounds on social media. Read the full article on purex

The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Estimated Playtime Revealed

It apparently takes "about 30 hours". Although Square Enix is currently focused on the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for the Switch 2, later this month its attention will shift to The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. If you're wondering about the length of this brand-new action RPG, the game's director Shota Fukebara has now revealed what players can expect from a regular playthrough and the mileage you'll get out of this new title if you "really dive in".

Round Up: The Final Previews Are In For The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

It's almost here. Square Enix's brand new action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is out next month and the final previews have now arrived. First up, if you haven't already seen it, we've got our Nintendo Life hands on. The good news is we've enjoyed what we've played so far, and can confirm the title's classic Zelda-style formula is in safe hands.

Hands On: The Adventures of Elliot Fixes My Biggest Problem with Square Enix's Modern RPGs

Pace race. A lot of you reading this won't agree, but I think almost every single 'smaller' RPG that Square Enix has released over the last decade or so suffers from the same problem: bad pacing. To be fair, this isn't just a Square Enix problem. Modern gaming in general seriously struggles to tell well-paced stories thanks to the rise of open world busywork and the visual novel-ification of dialogue delivery.

Sword and hopefully not bored. I absolutely hate the name, but there's no denying the potential within The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. If you haven't been keeping up, this is a new action RPG from Square Enix, which boasts that (admittedly quite tired) HD-2D graphical style. It's from the same team that made the Octopath Traveler games. Read the full article on pushsquare.com

I still think the best example of the Switch 2's funky new mouse JoyCon exists in the horribly named Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster. If you've followed me from my old haunt at VG247, you'll have heard this before, but I think it bears repeating: the best demo of the new hardware doesn't come from the Switch 2 Welcome Tour or something like Drag x Drive, it comes from a re-release of a 14-year-old 3DS game. Yes, really.

Hands On: The Classic Zelda Formula Is In Safe Hands With 'The Adventures Of Elliot'

Missing Link. The "classic" Zelda format has been on hiatus for a little while now. Echoes of Wisdom certainly tapped into a nostalgic vibe, but for a new top-down Zelda, you've got to go all the way back to 2013's A Link Between Worlds to get your typical set-up of unlockable dungeons, Sage collecting, and puzzles with clearly-designed solutions. Even then, it was a lot more open than the 2D titles before it, thanks to Ravio's item rental. My point is, Zelda is a different beast in this post-BO
