Fire Emblem: Three Houses Reviews
An engaging story and superb battle system keeps you coming back hour after hour, but Three Houses suffers from a lack of variety in the RPG sections.
Fire Emblem continues to be a franchise on the rise, and Three Houses just took the series to another peak.
Intelligent Systems tactical role-playing game looks and plays swell on Switch, but it also lowers the stakes of this stressful series
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the best Fire Emblem game since 2005's Path of Radiance. Players who skipped Shadows of Valentia may find a lot of things strange and different at first, but it all fits together so well that it starts to feel natural pretty quickly. Even if you don't know what you're doing in the beginning, you can still succeed and enjoy playing in the long run. The story is fascinating, the characters are lovable and entertaining, and the presentation is great.
This boarding-school daydream is grandiose and silly, but a gorgeous look and revised combat help it sing
Fire Emblem: Three Houses stands tall as a true step forward for the franchise both in terms of presentation and gameplay, which I am certain will propel the series to yet another level of relevancy and popularity.
This is one of the strongest releases on the Nintendo Switch in 2019 so far and is certainly worth playing, even for newcomers of the veteran series.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses might be the best Fire Emblem game yet, and the best strategy JRPG I've played in years. Whether you're totally new to the series or a lapsed fan, this is an essential Nintendo Switch game for any JRPG fan. The links above are affiliate links.

Puritans who were discouraged by their predecessor can thus breathe peacefully. Fire Emblem: Three Houses shows that the series is back on its feet again, better than ever.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the most fascinating tactical RPG with interesting battles and story, great world and charismatic characters. If you are not indifferent to the genre of role-playing games, this project should not be missed.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses succeeds in bringing a breath of fresh air into a saga that is perhaps too anchored to its own style, it does so by renewing the experience without losing sight of the deep strategic soul that has always been the trademark of Intelligent Systems' works. The pace of the game may seem a bit diluted to the most fundamentalist fans, but the overall result is, in our opinion, absolutely convincing and worthy.

If you’ve had a Fire Emblem-shaped hole in your heart till now, Fire Emblem: Three Houses will leave you breathless, sleepless, and eager for more. I know I’ll be lost in this new world for months to come.
For all the little ways I can nitpick Fire Emblem: The Three Houses, there is no denying the elegance with which so many of the gameplay systems are intertwined. I enjoyed micromanaging the progression of my students on and off the battlefield. I just wish I was able to think of them as more than colorful pawns.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses marks another stellar entry in a beloved series that continues to find ways to keep the experience fresh even after three decades. From its improved presentation and solid voice acting to its deep combat system and compelling narrative, Three Houses serves up a lot of meat that fans of the long-running franchise will gobble up. The main character admittedly can feel wooden at times and the school life part peters out a bit toward the end. Nearly 30 years after its humble beginnings, however, Three Houses is proof that Fire Emblem's flame continues to burn brightly.
Fire Emblem attains an especially epic, moral grandeur with this game's focus on the interplay between education and religion.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses features the finest game world, plot and gameplay of the series and even if certain aspects of its execution do raise some questions, its varied and rich world, high quality writing, exquisite soundtrack and the way its characters are shaped by the plot mean that nobody will be left untouched by this marvelous work, even if it might not be the ultimate Fire Emblem game that many expected.

A story that fills you and keeps you on the edge of the seat at all times, endearing characters that grow before our eyes, battles full of adrenaline, a master map design, relationship system worthy of a separate game and other elements, make this new Switch exclusive an adventure that I am sure, we will not forget in a very good time.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses blends together its masterfully refined social and battle systems to create one of the best in the series.
This is a fantastic installment for returning fans or newcomers playing for the first time.
Demanding lap strategy, loveable characters and great story. But you have to like the social simulation.
