What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
While the story is undoubtedly exceptional, the snail-paced build-up to the juicy parts, along with the overly winded dialog, can sometimes make things feel like a snoozefest.
While it is not necessary, clearing the first trails game is highly recommended for the best gameplay experience.
The soundtrack, composed by Falcom Sound Team jdk, is another highlight, featuring memorable themes that underscore both dramatic and action-packed moments, enhancing the emotional impact of the story and battles alike.
- zero has some stunning lowpoly vistas. many environmental textures were lovingly hand-restored to keep them looking good in HD.
The work they did to get this game to present well in ultrawide as well as the high framerate support and steam deck optimizations turned out fantastic but the AI upscale pass they did for the visuals is kind of a stain on a great port.
