Odin Sphere Leifthrasir Reviews
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is a solid Action RPG that's not for everyone.
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is a taste bud. It was created almost a decade ago, but in a new dress and period it has a lot to offer. On the view of a regular meat cleasel, but when you start exploring it, one of the demonstrations comes as some games do not age. Interesting concepts, unexpected variations or great ideas do not get boring so soon.

Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir takes a good game and makes it incrementally better. The tweaks to the overall title, including better inventory management and more emphasis on combat, opens it up to those who weren't enamored with the original. The option is there for those who want to play it as it was originally intended. It provides lots of gameplay time, which is something of a rarity in console titles nowadays, though there will be a few who take offense to the fact that a good chunk of content is recycled a few times. It does all this with a presentation that still manages to impress after all these years. No matter which of the three platforms you own, you owe it to yourself to add Leifthrasir to your library.
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is definitely an special title; An updated classic game and a fusion of art and gaming that are best intertwined and have shaped an enjoyable mix. This is a game that you will definitely miss great pleasure by not experiencing it.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is a highly addictive game with a full trophy count including a Platinum, and all the trophy hunters out there are going to love this game since nothing is missable! The graphics, soundtrack, and the game itself is perfect in every way. I have yet to finish the game and earn my Platinum which is what I am doing in between writing other reviews! Playing this one to bring you my Odin Sphere Leifthrasir review has been a highlight for me, and hopefully you end up loving this release as much as I have.
It is incredibly difficult to find a fault with Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, and as it can probably be gauged by the length of this review, there is so much to do in this game.
Vanillaware have done a wonderful job of bringing Odin Sphere up to date whilst still keeping what made it so endearing originally. If you are after a combat focused game with a compelling setup and a beautiful, painterly aesthetic you really can't go wrong with Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir.
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is a very good, or damned near perfect, example of what a remake / remaster should be. Already being an amazing title in its own right, this tale of five individuals only got better with the enhancements made to it almost ten years later. For everything that it does, Odin Sphere was only made better by having a clear format for the telling of its story through cutscenes and gameplay in a specific sequence that makes it that one never overshadows the other.
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is a cult classic for good reason. It's a strange title, but an engrossing one that's only let down by some one-note characters.
Overall, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is an easy game to recommend, and is a well-crafted experience. Despite some minor flaws and repetition of content, the game as a whole is an excellent package, both for new players and fans of the original PS2 release.
To call Odin Sphere Leifthrasir the definitive version of the original game would be selling it short: the sheer amount of improvements and new content have transformed the game into a whole new experience that both original fans and curious newcomers must not miss. As 3D visuals continue to dominate most of the gaming industry today, 2D homages like Odin Sphere truly are becoming a lost art that must be admired for as long as they remain.
A highly successful remake that fixes the technical and design flaws of the original and turns it into one of the year's best looking action role-players.
Like a moving picture, that's actually a game.
Next to this almost perfect game, you must not pass indifferently. Regardless of the platform you have and the price of this work, it is necessary to play them.

Odin Sphere is an excellent remake that sets the bar high for other developers looking to refresh their old games. From now on, making nicer graphics and adding a few goodies should not satisfy anyone.

2007's Odin Sphere was an underrated gem from Vanillaware and Atlus, almost a decade later it's returned for the PS3, PS4 and PS Vita. Using gorgeous 2D artwork and five story modes that overlap and intersect, does this HD remaster match up with modern gaming?
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir's distinct painterly graphics, free-flowing combat and intuitive RPG systems make it a joy, whether you're a newcomer or a returning fan. While some remakes are largely unnecessary, Vanillaware have taken a forgotten classic and made it an essential title for the current generation.
As we have already had the opportunity to say several times, on the occasion of remasters awarded with high-sounding marks, the passion and care for the original product often make the difference in this type of operation. Rejuvenated, streamlined, embellished as it is in this new version, Odin Sphere also deserves to be played by a new generation of gamers, who may have missed it in 2007.

Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is an exemplary remake, which excels in all areas, of those that we would like to see more often in the mode of the video game . Vanillaware proves that they are indeed the masters of 2D even in 1080p and 60Hertz. But significant progress has also been made in the way of playing, which is proving to be much more flexible, taking advantage of the lessons brought by Dragon's Crown and Muramasa.

I’ve used a number of words throughout this review in an effort to praise various aspects of the game but none really express my thoughts well enough so they’ll have to do. Amazing, brilliant, fantastic – this game is all of those and more!
