Spent 2 hours in character creation and 3 hours in the game itself. So far its good 👍

No DRM BS, no EA launcher app, tons of graphic settings including DLSS/FSR/XeSSS, no stuttering.

66+ hour update: Its good.

74.2 hour update: Finished the campaign and all side quests. Solid 8/10.

Did you ever play Solar Winds: The Escape on DOS back in 1993? If yes, get this.

Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS, 15 FPS during combat. Product managers and executives in charge of this port should be tried for crimes against humanity.

I'm sad to say, this Secret of Mana remake is not good. Please do not buy it. If you do, please do so directly on Steam so you can request a refund.

Most neckbears will complain about the sub-par English voice over and underwhelming "remasters" soundtrack. Those complaints are easily overcome since the game has the option to switch to the Japanese voice over and the Original game soundtrack.

The real issue is the move to 3D makes movement and combat feel floaty and offers no feedback. You hit a monster, it stagers back. You hit it again, no feedback for 2-3 seconds. Your party members hit it, no feedback for 2-3 seconds. Did you kill the enemy? Wait 2-3 seconds to see if it triggers a slightly different death animation.

To make matters worse, the near total radio silence from the developers and publisher give me no hope that they will ever patch the game or fix the plenty of animation bugs you will run into.

I would have refunded the game if I wouldn't have bought it on Green Man Gaming. F*ck me, right?

TL;DR: Save your money and play the original on a SNES Classic instead.
