Why You Should Play Shining Resonance Refrain | Review After 100%

[@adamscottgames]

Thank you for LIKING, COMMENTING, and SUBSCRIBING! What game should I tackle next?

[@HipnikDragomir]

I bought this bad boy on a whim a couple years ago and adored it. I wish they'd make a new one.

[@thaneros]

This game is about as cliche as a jrpg can get BUT there is something about it that keeps me coming back.

[@elle_na619]

I saw this on sale just now for about $10 and never heard of this series before, your review is so thorough and I’m convinced right away 😊. I love Tales Of series and Ys 8 and this game does look similar so I think I’ll give it a try!

[@adamscottgames]

I love that and I hope you have fun with it!

[@crimsonfxcker3683]

Thank you for helping me make my decision you rock sir

[@adamscottgames]

Nice! 🤜🤛

[@Wario_Man]

I bought the steelbook edition back in 2021 this game is very solid imo I wish that blade arcus got localized on PS4 too

[@Lucas-gg9yb]

I'm on chapter 3, and liking the game, Rinna best girl! Her jokes and dialogues are hilarious.

[@MiBrCo4177]

great vid! subbed!! keep up the great work!

[@adamscottgames]

Awesome thanks! 🤜🤛

[@Unbound_Selrahc]

I was just looking at this game as it went on sale on Xbox and I was curious about it since it’s been in my wishlist for a period. Love a good jrpg nowadays, might have to give this a chance

[@brswanson88]

Nice review man, definitely interested in this now. Thanks!

[@adamscottgames]

Awesome, thanks! 🤜🤛

[@thaneros]

One little note. The Shining series while most games a standalone they do share similar mythologies.

[@adamscottgames]

Good callout

[@MiBrCo4177]

as a fan of the shining series, specifically shining force on the genesis. shining resonance: refrain was always on my list to check out. I keep hoping that one day SEGA will bring back SF series as a great tactics RPG, and since the Shining series on PS2 back in the day, completely butchered the series :( and this game doesn't exactly help, but it's a nice change of pace from tactics to action/adventure.

[@workingclass2422]

First time checking out your channel. Subbed. Really enjoyed the video.

[@adamscottgames]

Awesome, thanks! 🤜🤛 Glad you liked it!

[@crazykenbei]

Lol i always see this game for sale for 5.99 on psn. Guess today is the day i finally pick it up lol.

[@adamscottgames]

Nice! Hope you have fun with it!

Thanks I just buy it ! My first time with this series !

Great review! I haven't played any of the Shining games before but NOW I have to! Thanks! 😁

Another banger review. It's like you're in my PS5 looking at the games I'm thinking about downloading lol

One of these years, there will be a new Shining TRPG.

[@iamLI3]

world's lone shining resonance refrain speed runner here , i have to say what a welcomed breath of fresh air seeing a new review of shining that's actually positive , as there only exists like 1 review others than mine that doesn't shit on the game hard disagree about the music though , shining's ost is quite possibly the overall best video game ost in existence , really confusing why you chose to play one of the custom mini dungeon songs instead of an overworld one , and the song you did play Suna no Shiro is still a fine sounding one , this is on top of the fact that they made a completely unique well made song for each of the 6 different grimoires dungeons which are completely optional also ok at this point i know im not insane , i have seen this review before , but there's no indication i have seen this video before , is this a reupload or something??....

[@adamscottgames]

Wow you REALLY know your Shining Resonance Refrain! This wasn't a re-upload- maybe you just watched it before? I love your insight!

[@iamLI3]

@@adamscottgames i kind of feel like i must have watched it before , unfortunately there's no browser historical data piece that exists as a way for me to verify this >_>" indeed i do , i recently just finished a no item usage during battle run , i can't believe i was somehow still able to manage to beat the lv80+ bosses with a lv52 team despite that

[@Wintersoldier73]

I hadn't played Shining games in a few decades. I picked this one up, very recently, for PS & Xbox. It'll have to wait for a bit tho.

[@adamscottgames]

Your backlog getting pretty big these days too?

[@gamingguru1137]

@@adamscottgames My backlog is nuts right now!!! 😁

[@Wintersoldier73]

@@adamscottgames It's ridiculous. And my son gives me more games to play! He loves the Fate series, so I had to (first) watch the anime with him & am now trying to make time for the 2 games + the new one about to release next month(?).

From shining in the darkness to shining Force oh The nostalgia is so thick I did not know about this one so I guess I'm saying You sir have successfully giving me a game to play thanks

Nice! 😄

[@nickneal8676]

Excellent game

[@krisnaholmes]

Sir, should I buy Tales Of Berseria, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA or Shining Resonance Refrain? Or maybe you have a better recommendation at a similar price, I want to buy it on Steam by the way

[@adamscottgames]

All of which are great games and well worth your time. Personally, I'd go with the one that costs least, but you won't be disappointed with any of these!

[@krisnaholmes]

@adamscottgames Thank you sir for the answer, I decided to buy Ys VIII

[@adamscottgames]

@@krisnaholmes Nice! I hope you have a blast!

What are you playing right now?

[@yuzuichikawa]

Definitely can’t wait on your thoughts on Blue Reflection and second light.

[@Krocxigor]

FFXIV, been mostly on than off in playing it since 2013. I tries starfield but got bored insanely fast, I say that because the lowest playtime I have in any bethesda game since I started playing daggerfall shortly after launch is three hundred hours in F76 with my next lowest play time of four hundred hours in fallout 3. I was enjoying remnant 2 but the player base dropped off fast and for some reason I don't care to play it single player after beating it. I will probably play mainly FFXIV until cyberpunk 2077 PL drops then play that a few hundred hours until I go back to FFXIV while waiting for it's new expansion and for Dragon's Dogma 2 to release.....will probably play the original at some point during that to beat it for a third time. Off topic of your post but like this video I will probably never play 90% of the games you review, I mainly watch your videos because you have to be the most in depth reviewer I have seen. So while I may not be interested in the game you are still very entertaining.

I remember playing the demo of this game and it feeling like a worse version of a Tales game. I left thinking why would I play this when the Tales series exists. Also doesn't help that I'm an old-school shining fan and this game is a reminder that one of my favorite rpg series is dead 🥲

[@adamscottgames]

Ah yes…seeing a favorite series go down a path you barely recognize is the cross those of us who’ve been gaming for decades have to bear.
