Critic Reviews for Blue Reflection Quartet
BLUE REFLECTION Quartet is a rare and much-appreciated bundle of games, and I love seeing an entire franchise collected together in one package like this. While a couple of the entries in this collection are pretty flawed, it's still full of charm and one of the most unique and atmospheric JRPG experiences out there.
Blue Reflection Quartet is an attempt to bring this whole series together, across previously disparate formats. It’s not entirely successful, as you’re better off just watching the anime instead of trudging through this version of Ray’s weird recap slideshow gimmick.
Blue Reflection Quartet is a fantastic way to jump into Gust's underrated JRPG series.
Blue Reflection Quartet is good, but not great. I really enjoyed the shoujo story, pretty visuals, and emotional music. The gameplay was very simple and derivative of other series, but some might find it cozy.
Not all of the games that comprise BLUE REFLECTION Quartet will satisfy JRPG fans, but the tentpole entries are fun. Combat is engaging, albeit too easy, and the characters and stories are surprisingly relatable to those of us who typically don't leave our villages to overthrow kingdoms or defeat the gods on a regular basis.
Blue Reflection Quartet offers tremendous value and a great way to start the series, but some parts of the collection leave a lot to be desired.
BLUE REFLECTION Quartet is a four-game collection, but it is more accurate to call it four experiences. BLUE REFLECTION and BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light are full games, but the other two in the collection are more condensed ways to tell the story of that original media. It does build up to a much more definitive Second Light experience.
Ultimately, Blue Reflection Quartet isn’t something I’d recommend to most RPG fans. It’s more for those seeking a light, character-focused visual novel about heroines balancing high school life with a looming world-ending crisis, leaning far more into the former.
