Granblue Fantasy: Relink Reviews
Granblue Fantasy: Relink might not reinvent the wheel when it comes to storytelling in a JRPG, but as far as fun multiplayer experiences go, Relink soars to new horizons.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a masterpiece and is an amazing entry point into the world of Granblue Fantasy. The gameplay is engaging, the art design is immaculate, the music is amazing, and there is much to do in the game. I just wished the online component had more going on.
In the first 20 hours, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an Action RPG with exciting combat, lots of characters, and a straight to the point story. After 20 hours, it turns into an anime co-op game with MMORPG-like combat, unlike Monster Hunter. It has deep character growth and tough dungeons that take time to master, offering lots of fun.

Those expecting a traditional RPG experience from Granblue Fantasy: Relink might be left disappointed, with developer Cygames instead opting to offer something a little more succinct. It’s hard to not get drawn in by the game’s story, though, especially when it’s backed up by such engaging action, which stands head and shoulders above most in the genre. So, whether you’re an existing fan of Granblue Fantasy or not, if you like the idea of playing through the best bits of an epic RPG campaign and then absorbing yourself in hours of additional quests alone or with others, you’d be wise to give this a look.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a fantastic game that you will enjoy whether you pick it up when its full price or on sale. A sequel to a smartphone RPG, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a surprise gem that everyone should have fun playing.
While it takes a while to get going, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is well worth the wait. Fans of quick-paced co-op action RPGs shouldn’t hesitate to check it out.
Granblue Relink is a fantastic action RPG game that offered so much for multiplayer, but left too little for the story and single player experience

There are many times that it is fun to just stop and look around, and the story and characters are a fairly tight package, which is appreciated. Battles are fast, if a bit consistent of spongy enemies. Its mobile roots are obvious, in relation to how equipment, upgrades and other characters work. Overall, there is not a huge sweeping story that will stay with you, but it's a coherent, high quality RPG that is solid across the board.
I refuse to play mobile gatcha games (in part because I know that I’m the kind of personality that would get too hooked on a favourite one if I found one). However, I have always found Granblue Fantasy’s vision and promise particularly intriguing. The fighting game whet my appetite, but Granblue Fantasy Relink has been my first real exposure to the property. Not only are the characters, setting, lore and world building every bit as enjoyable as I hoped from all the promo material I’ve seen over the years, but for a “spin-off” this is a much better action RPG than I was anticipating. While eight years is no doubt longer than Cygames hoped to spend developing Granblue Fantasy Relink, the wait has been worth it and this is, potentially, the start of a very big new property that will rival the best that Bandai Namco, SEGA and Square Enix produce.
Cygames did a great job of turning a gacha game into an epic adventure full of action and magic. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Relink capitalizes on the charisma of its characters and their abilities. The best part is that we can unlock them without paying and harness their power in awesome boss battles. Although it is an action RPG, it takes advantage of other elements to make things more interesting. If it were more extensive, had a more solid multiplayer system and more exploration elements, it would be perfect.

A great cast of characters let down by a fairly unengaging narrative, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is still a superb RPG packed with content. Grab your friends, it's time to go adventuring in the skies!
Overall, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an enjoyable action-RPG, even when divorced from its gatcha origins. It doesn't break any molds and tends to feel more like an MMO than Monster Hunter, but almost every part of it is well executed and enjoyable. If you've been curious about the franchise and want a more friendly way to explore it than gatcha and fighting games, Relink gives you everything you need. If you're looking for a chill multiplayer RPG to play with friends, Relink absolutely nails the experience.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink is excellent in everything it proposes and certainly has the best ingredients to please different audiences, even the most skeptical. Fluid, beautiful, objective and exciting in the right measure, the game is a sure presence on my list of favorites in the genre.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink has a lot of character and is a great contribution to action RPGs. Genre fans looking for something new will enjoy this tale, especially its epic boss fights and interactive landscapes to explore; well, if you can get over the initial hurdles, of course. ⚔️
Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a spectacular debut for the franchise on consoles and PC. It successfully transforms the series' mobile roots into a full-fledged action RPG, delivering stunning visuals, satisfying combat, and a memorable adventure through its beautifully crafted semi-open world. The game rarely feels constrained by its origins, instead embracing the scale and presentation expected from a modern JRPG while retaining the charm that made the franchise so popular in the first place. Although a few rough edges prevent it from reaching perfection, they do little to overshadow what is otherwise an excellent experience. Whether you are a longtime Granblue fan or completely new to the series, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys action-packed JRPGs with rewarding combat and a vibrant fantasy world.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok builds on an already excellent action RPG with meaningful endgame content, deeper progression, and thrilling combat, making it a must-play expansion for both newcomers and returning players.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink brought an engaging story with incredibly fun combat to the forefront, packed with a ton of secondary missions that allow you to get the most out of your team, especially in co-op.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink is currently the best JRPG available at the time of testing. With its extensive endgame and online co-op function, Relink offers us enormous gaming fun. However, we would have liked a more in-depth story, as we were not really convinced by it. It lacks depth, excitement and variety. The strength of "Granblue Fantasy: Relink" clearly lies in the endgame, when it comes to fighting the numerous bosses. We are looking forward to future content and can recommend the game despite the lack of story.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink has great combat, a good and objective story and great replayability potential with its online mode. If well utilized and updated, perhaps we'll see a new competitor for games of this format.
