Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings Reviews
The game system in Atelier Lydie & Suelle is solid, combat is great and the soundtrack is nice, but we could have expected more from a title marking the 20th anniversary of the series.
If you really love crafting, Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Paintings might be your jam. But if you like literally any other aspect of a typical JRPG, you're going to be disappointed. It might be worth $20 for the curiosity, but at $60, I really can't recommend it to anyone who doesn't already like the series.
With its bland story and uninteresting characters, this is a series that is in a dire need of a substantive reboot.
As a stand alone game or as an entrance to the series, I would highly recommend skipping this saccharine walk through half realized ideas.
