Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land Reviews
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is an enthralling experience that pushes the Atelier franchise into a new era. There is so much to see and do while uncovering new mysteries that affect the world and its inhabitants on a profoundly personal level.
The "Atelier" series has changed quite a bit with Yumia. It's somehow more mature, more grown-up, and a whole lot darker. "Atelier" fans will recognize this from the older installments of the series.

Atelier Yumia’s first bout is a fun, open world crafting game that offers more than just clearing icons on a map—its verticality while offering player creativity through movement and housing tools make for a good time. It’s everything its developer has been building towards, and I’ve come away quite impressed with what they’ve got to offer.
Atelier Yumia is definitely a new era for the series, more dynamic, more ambitious, with the ability to attract new players without losing what veterans like. The combat system is a lot of fun, the storyline interesting and the minor problems don't detract from the overall experience.

Atelier Yumia is a commendable blend of tradition and evolution, but if you’re planning to get the Switch version, you may want to think again.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land manages to stand on its own two rocket-powered high heels through the strength of its comfortable cast and flashy, fun combat. I still wish the open-world puzzles and base building weren’t so shallow and derivative, even if Atelier Yumia doesn’t penalize you too much for not engaging with them. This isn’t the major shift toward the mainstream that the series needed but if your expectations aren’t too high, you’ll have a great time exploring Adaliss with Yumia and her friends.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land is a bold new direction for the series, with particularly great combat.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land feels like an exciting shakeup for the long-running series with some interesting changes.
Atelier Yumia is a great starting point if you've never played an Atelier game before. There's this constant feeling of discovery as you go through each and every spot marked on the map. It does have some rough spots, but Gust is on the right path if their idea is to make future titles in this open world format.
My time with Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land was a recipe for success, in which the sum of all the high-quality parts more than made up for the ones that weren't so high.

Despite its vast open world, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land can feel repetitive at times. However, its engaging turn-based combat mechanics and tactical depth make for an enjoyable experience.

Atelier Yumia The Alchemist of Memories and the Imagined Land is an excellent entry point for new players and a refreshing installment for veteran fans of the series. Most of its gameplay innovations are well executed, with the open world, revamped alchemy system, and engaging characters standing out the most. While it’s not perfect, particularly in the implementation of the motorcycle and the lack of difficulty in combat, the overall experience is highly enjoyable.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is a renovated take on the franchise, but without forgetting what makes Atelier so special. Even though it takes a while to pick up, the game has key moments that captivated me and taught me to love the game's cast. It's a game that resembles a conventional RPG in many ways, but with touches that only those who work extremely well with characters and value daily life know how to put in and get right. Some long-time fans may feel a little lost, especially at the beginning, but if you welcome this game with open arms, it will have a lot to offer you.
