At the end of the day, Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & The Secret Key is everything I could’ve hoped for. It’s a fantastic end to this amazing series, the gameplay is fantastic and I love this cast almost as much as the Arland crew, which is quite a lot. I would love to see them revisit Ryza someday as she takes an apprentice just to see how things changed down the line. This game is worth every penny of the $59.99 price tag and I would highly suggest everyone check out all of Ryza’s titles. They are all amazing in their own ways, topped off by this truly amazing final chapter.
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is the best of the Ryza series and a proper send-off to Ryza and her friends. Its alchemy mechanics are deep, and so is the adventure you’ll spend hours sinking into.
Atelier Ryza 3 excels with its expansive world, refined gameplay, and dynamic combat. Despite pacing and character development issues, the game offers an engaging experience for both newcomers and dedicated fans, featuring captivating alchemy and numerous improvements.
While there are a few hiccups, overall Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is a brilliant send-off for Ryza, her friends, and fans of the series as a whole.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this is one of the brightest games I’ve ever played, and the same can be said for elements in it that are not simply tied to its visuals. The whole ambiance within Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key feels extremely easygoing for as chaotic as the events that take place can get, all things considered. It’s the sort of game you play as a break from more intense ones, or something you pop into your system in between.
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is the ideal closure for the trilogy of the cute Ryza. With new features for both alchemy and combat and a giant world to explore, the game will not leave any fan of the saga indifferent.

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is a slow adventure that works perfectly as the culmination of Ryza’s trilogy. With tons of interconnected systems keeping things fun and a strong focus on the characters and dynamics between them, it’s a great experience for JRPG fans who enjoy slice-of-life – just make sure to begin at the start of this trilogy.
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key maintains the trilogy high bar in a broader experience that values exploration. The last game in the trilogy ends Ryza and her friends' summer vacation very well, demonstrating the growth of the characters and the developer itself over the almost four years since the launch of the first Atelier Ryza.

Atelier Ryza 3 serves as an emotional and satisfying conclusion to Ryza’s journey while also delivering some of the most expansive gameplay the series has ever had.
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is a well-earned conclusion to Reisalin “Ryza” Stout’s story, with its improvements upon the previous titles and systems that provide endless amounts of customization. It’s still a bit difficult to recommend this to newcomers, but this is a must-play for any fans of thighs, I mean this series. It’s a bittersweet farewell to Reisalin “Ryza” Stout and her eye-catching assets, and I look forward to Gust’s next entry in the Atelier series and whatever character design Toridamono comes up with next.
Atelier Ryza 3 is a game that makes good on its promises. We've spent years getting to know Ryza and her friends and learning more about their world. Now there's this pay-off that really feels fulfilling.
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is a satisfying bookend with tons of payoff for fans.
