Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok Reviews
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok is one of the more unique, attractive, and immediately enjoyable JRPGs available for the Switch 2. The main story is not very long, but the game offers more than enough peripheral content to keep players busy for quite some time.
Reviewing this version is no easy task, as there are two different perspectives. Considering the whole picture, Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is the definitive version of a modern classic and one of my favorite games of this generation, expanding and refining everything that was already great. However, viewed solely from the perspective of what it adds to the base game, it's a robust content, but it has high re-entry barrier, relies on repetitive endgame elements, and doesn't bring enough new features to transform the game, making it bigger, but not necessarily better.

Endless Ragnarok certainly entertains, even without a strong emphasis on its narrative, which I feel is a very noticeable blemish here. Combat, new encounters, or remixed ones, and the added features to kit out your characters are the strongest elements that make this DLC really worth it. Summons and the Conflux feel fairly thin on function, but can certainly entertain from time to time, it's just a shame the roguelike addition is solo only, otherwise I would have put more time into it. Regardless, Endless Ragnarok is a damn good addition to Granblue, even if it doesn’t soar quite as high as the game it is added to.
Endless Ragnarok doesn’t try to reinvent Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Instead, it expands on what the base game does best: its exceptional combat. The six new playable characters are a joy to use, and the challenging boss encounters provide plenty of rewarding endgame content for veteran players. However, the expansion’s biggest drawback is its limited story, which lacks the emotional depth and memorable moments that made the original adventure so compelling. While it doesn’t quite reach the same heights as the base game, Endless Ragnarok is still a worthwhile expansion for players looking for more of Relink’s outstanding action-packed gameplay.
The gameplay is generally fun and, given the large number of characters, offers a fair bit of variety despite the game’s accessibility. It looks good and the varied soundtrack is brilliant. The main story, right up to the end credits, is rather short – it took me 20 hours – but it’s entertaining.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok brings more of what’s in the base game, and not much else for new or returning players. As a co-op experience, I could see Endless Ragnarok as a group of up to four friends game of choice, especially with crossplay implemented, but the generic fantasy characters, repetition to a fault, and lack of any clear guidance make this hard to recommend. The accessibility features still put the responsibility in the player’s hands, making me question why this is even offered beyond as a tool for players looking to learn bosses. I don’t consider binging CBS’s Cold Case while keeping a hand on the controller to grind for hundreds of hours a peak gaming experience anymore, but maybe you need a new podcast game, and Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok might be a good fit.
With its new expansion, Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok tries to keep players going for more demanding quests in the endgame.

Endless Ragnarok is very much worth playing through, not only because of characters like Fediel and Maglielle, who will have you rethinking how you tackle the game’s encounters entirely, but also because of the flashy new fights and new grinds available, as well as the extremely fun summoning system.
If you played and loved the original release of Relink, then Endless Ragnarok is going to be an amazing time. It’s a heaping helping of new battles, new bosses, and new characters. Between that, the summon system, and some new progression mechanics, there’s so much to dive into.
Final impressions of Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok are heavily tied to how you feel about the original game. Liked it and enjoyed clearing the endgame content? Then grab the DLC without hesitation - another 50–100 hours of fun monster-slaying action are guaranteed. Enjoyed the story but not a fan of grinding? Then it's better to skip it.

Relink's major expansion is highly impressive, but it's important to set expectations of what it brings; it doesn't completely revamp the game from top to bottom, but it builds upon the endgame of Cygames' action RPG with many new quests, characters, and systems to power-up your roster once more.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok eschews story for brutally hard bosses. It's more of a gauntlet of tough challenges for veteran players rather than the casual crowd, though its new characters and less tedious grind are welcome inclusions.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok answers a lot of the complaints I had with the base game and adds a ton more to do in the game. If you haven’t played Granblue Fantasy: Relink before, this is the perfect time to get the game and the expansion, as it is still an amazing experience.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok is a great new expansion with a few flaws. However, those flaws don't hinder the otherwise enjoyable new pile of content.
