Game of the Month: The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (June 2026)

As voted by you. I've been putting these new Game of the Month votes together for over a year now, and I've got to just come out and say it: I don't think I've ever seen such a weak month for new releases as June 2026. Here on Push Square, we reviewed a grand total of three PS5 games, and only one of them got a score over 5/10. That's pretty much unprecedented. Read the full article on pushsquare.com

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.

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

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".

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
