"If you're looking for a PS1 RPG experience that typifies the era, The Legend of Dragoon is a solid shout. A big budget title at the time, its ambition is still hard to fault - but with the benefit of hindsight, it's also easy to see where this Sony-backed release stumbles. The combat system is uniquely satisfying, but it can feel frustratingly stunted. Meanwhile, endearing characters carry an emotional story, but an awkward localisation effort comes close to sabotaging the script. A flawed classic, but a memorable adventure all the same."

Platforming challenges range from precise jumps to timed dodges, while enemy encounters require adapting to different attack patterns and weaknesses. The game stands out with its dark, dreamlike visuals and fluid platforming mechanics.
